This experience, in a nutshell

May 1st, the sun is already warm and we feel the call of nature awakening. A sailing experience is not just sea and swimming, but it can be much more. And for this long weekend of late spring, we wanted to create a unique experience of sailing, sport, fun and relaxation , which we will live with two boats and which will take us to discover by sea and by land, three pearls of the Cetacean Sanctuary.


Elba, with its 147 km of coastline, is the third largest island in Italy. Thanks to its vast surface area, it offers us a great wealth of marine and terrestrial fauna and flora, alternating with delightful seaside villages rich in history.

Capraia, presents us with a completely different scenario. A small unspoiled island and almost entirely a nature reserve, a small high village that has less than 400 inhabitants and its characteristic marina, along which there are some restaurants and shops selling typical local products.

Corsica  and Cap Corse will give us wonderful sailing, a unique area that enchants for the beauty of its coasts and its crystal clear waters and at the same time intimidates for the grandeur of its cliffs, leaving us with the idea of sailing on a Cape rich in history and stories.


Our base is the port of San Vincenzo, a few miles from the island of Elba for navigation suitable for everyone.


After arranging the galley and luggage in the cabins, weather permitting, we will leave immediately sailing at sunset towards the island of Elba, alternatively early the following morning. After a careful analysis of the weather conditions we will decide our itinerary, which island to visit first and the routes to follow, whether to sleep in the roadstead or spend the night in port.


The itineraries can satisfy both the most experienced and those approaching the world of sailing for the first time. On board everyone will be able to learn the basics of sailing and participate in maneuvers. They will be days of sport, relaxation, nature and fun in company.



In fact, we will sail in a flotilla, with another boat, one more opportunity to be able to socialize and why not, challenge the other crew in short regattas.

Our itinerary

The map is indicative of the navigation area. Itineraries and routes will be decided according to weather conditions.


Once the cabins have been assigned and the galley loaded, we will leave and sail at sunset towards the island of Elba where we will spend the first night in the roadstead. In the morning we will enjoy a nice breakfast embraced by a suggestive landscape of sea and land and from there we will start our adventure. Relaxation and fun surrounded by nature will be the ingredients that will accompany us on our journey. We will sleep at anchor in Elba and Corsica where we will go ashore with the tender, while in Capraia we will enter the port to enjoy the beauties that this pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea offers us on land. During all the navigations keep our eyes wide open because we are in the Cetacean Sanctuary and if we are lucky they will come to visit us. Then a nice return sail to savor the pleasure of sailing only moved by the wind.
