WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
First day
Set sail! Heading for Elba
We look forward to seeing you at Salivoli in the morning. We settle into our cabins, go shopping for provisions together, and, upon returning to the sailboat, set sail for theIsland of Elba where we will take our first swim of the vacation halfway to the island of Palmaiola and have time for a bit of snorkeling. We will continue this first sailing trip with a skipper and arrive in Portoferraio. During this week on a sailboat, we will visit the beaches in the north of Elba Island and reach Capraia Island for a relaxing vacation, diving, and easy sailing, also suitable for those who are boarding a boat for the first time or traveling alone.
Second day
North Elba: white rocks
Wake up in Portoferraio and admire its beauty and small harbor, then set off to discover some of the most beautiful beaches on Elba: we are spoiled for choice between Capo Bianco, Scoglietto di Portoferraio, Capo D'Enfola, and many other coves with crystal clear water.
Third day
Towards Capraia, in the sea of cetaceans
Our boat holiday in Tuscany continues with a dip as soon as we wake up, when the sea is still calm and the only sound is the noisy squawking of seagulls fighting over breakfast. We reach theIsland of Capraia , taking turns at the helm and helping the skipper with the maneuvers. Let's not forget that we are sailing to discover theTuscan Archipelago, in the cetacean area, where dolphins and bottlenose dolphins are generally easy to spot.
Fourth day
Wild Capraia and evening in Marciana
The northern part of Capraia awaits us to continue this week of sailing with a skipper. The island is dotted with coves, from Porto Vecchio or Cala della Mortola, Cala del Reciso to the nearby "Seno della Perruccia." In the evening, we return to Elba, perhaps to Marciana Marina for a typical Tuscan dinner and an evening ashore among the colors and liveliness of this town.
Fifth day
Towards a more intense Elba
Our Jonas boat takes us to the west side where the coast is high and breathtaking, the sea is blue and deep, and dolphins and other cetaceans are easily spotted. We do some snorkeling in front of the Pomonte beach, admiring the wreck of the Elviscot, a coal ship that sank in 1972 due to a storm. Tonight, we toast under the stars near Fetovaia or Galenzana beach near Marina di Capo.
Sixth day
The liveliest greeting on Elba
The last day of this boat trip between Elba and Capraia begins at the Istia beach and in the afternoon we then reach Porto Azzurro, the most touristy and lively center on the island of Elba. Walking through the narrow alleys and streets of the historic center, you immediately sense the atmosphere of an ancient and important past, also evidenced by the ancient fortification of Forte San Giacomo.
Seventh day
Disembarkation
We enjoy our last breakfast in the cockpit with the sea as a backdrop and breathe in a sense of freedom that is difficult to describe to those who have never experienced a sailing vacation. If the weather permits, we take a last swim in the coves that can only be reached by boat and then relax at the bow to enjoy a short sail towards the Tuscan coast, where we will disembark in the morning. We say goodbye to the skipper who made us fall in love with theTuscan Archipelago and embrace the new friends we have made during this experience. It's time to go home.
