This experience, in a nutshell

Also this year, in conjunction with the most awaited event for lovers of sailing and culinary delicacies, we set sail for the squid festival in Capraia.

Being a long weekend, from Friday evening to Wednesday evening, we will also stop on the island of Elba!

Weather permitting, for the more daring, we will take the last swim of the season!

 

The squid festival in Capraia, since 2002 is an unmissable event that closes the summer tourist season: here the summer ends with this festival!

It consists of two main events: The Fishing Competition and the Festival itself.

La mia prima esperienza in barca a vela e non avrei potuto chiedere di più . Vacanza meravigliosa , un gruppo di compagni di viaggio incredibili. E poi Skipper Andrea, unico direi.... Sempre attento, molto preparato, sempre pronto a scherzare, a giocare e fare squadra. Autorevole ma mai autoritario., mi ha fatto sentire a mio agio e al sicuro. Spero di tornare presto a bordo con [hidden]. Mille stelle per loro 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

La vacanza in barca con [hidden] e' stata meravigliosa e la consiglierei vivamente a tutti. Andrea si e' rivelato uno skipper eccezionale e un bravissimo leader, disponibile ed abilissimo a risolvere ogni imprevisto con calma e professionalita'. Va sottolineato che ha pure gli agganci giusti nei vari porti per farvi vivere al meglio le tappe a terra. Esempio? La sera a Capri quando eravamo l'unica barca a vela attraccata al molo (vicino a noi solo uno yacht extra lusso e nessun altro). La cosa che mi ha particolarmente colpita, poi, e' che venerdi sera in porto (si sbarcava la mattina dopo), Andrea ha improvvisato una mini discoteca in pozzetto, completa di luci colorate, per farci divertire fino all'ultimo. Questo, secondo me, la dice lunga sugli standard di [hidden] verso gli ospiti e il loro benessere. Sono contentissima di aver scelto e fatto quest'esperienza. Grazie di cuore.
