This experience, in a nutshell

We get on board, we place the small luggage (bags, backpacks) in the cabin and after 10 minutes of briefing on safety and on-board communications, the captain starts the engine and, with your help, leaves the moorings and heads for the exit of the port.

Once we are in open water we hoist the sails and turn off the engine.

We head to the Shiplight lighthouse sailing and listening to the sounds of the boat, the sea and the wind.

During the navigation you can freely consume food and drinks that you have brought in your backpack.


The navigation continues until we round the lighthouse after which we prepare to tack on board.

You learn to recognize the direction of the wind from the waves and to understand which positions on board to maintain in order to be safe.


Depending on wind and sea conditions, you can stay in the cockpit, on deck, on the bow pulpit or sitting on deck gangways with your legs overboard.

Those who want can try to take their first steps in steering the boat.


When we reach the port, we start the engine, lower the sails and sail to the departure pier.

Once moored, the captain carries out the debriefing to give useful information to your subsequent experiences and to listen to your impressions and observations.


Our meeting ends with greetings and perhaps with the idea and desire to organize a sailing cruise.

Our itinerary

From the place of embarkation, on the floating piers of the Medici Pier, you get on the boat.

Once the moorings have been cast, we proceed towards the passage that separates the area of the Medici dock from the outpost, characterized by the control tower of the port, the Maritime Signal, below which the pilots who go in support of the ships in transit arrive and depart.

Arrived at the north exit of the port we head for the lighthouse called Shiplight.

We leave the lighthouse on the right, turning around and heading towards a metal meda called Luminella.

We leave the Luminella on our right and return to the dock from which we started.
