Your possible stops during this cruise

Here is a sample itinerary for your 2- to 5-day mini-sailing cruise around Elba.
Please note: The itinerary is subject to weather conditions, sea conditions, and the skipper’s decisions to ensure a pleasant and safe sailing experience. Stops and anchorages may therefore be adjusted as the cruise progresses.

Departing from Portoferraio, this cruise invites you to discover the most beautiful landscapes of Elba Island during a voyage punctuated by stops in secluded coves and sailing along wild coastlines. Each day alternates between sailing, moments of relaxation, and exploring the island’s many facets.

Throughout the cruise, you can participate in life on board by taking the helm, learning a few maneuvers, or simply enjoying the sailing experience at your own pace. The many sheltered bays provide the perfect spots to drop anchor for a swim in crystal-clear waters, go snorkeling, take a paddleboard outing on one of the two boards provided, or even try your hand at trolling.

We generally spend every night at anchor to fully enjoy the tranquility of the archipelago, with the option to reach shore via the dinghy. However, a stop at a port may be considered if weather conditions require it or at the skipper’s discretion.

The cruise also takes place in the heart of the Pelagos Sanctuary, a marine protected area renowned for its rich wildlife. With a little luck, you may spot dolphins, sea turtles, sunfish, or even whales during the cruise.

Meals are prepared on board by the crew using the provisions loaded before departure, allowing you to fully enjoy the sailing experience and the camaraderie of life at sea throughout your stay.
