Have you ever traveled on a sailing boat? Have you ever had the curiosity to understand how it works and what the life onboard it looks like? Well, I am planning to invite four sailing adventurers on our 12 meters sailing boat Vcat38 "Almaines" based at the port of Pisa in Tuscany for a four days sailing experience. I am a sailing lover with many hours of sailing experience and together with the expert skipper "Alessandro" we will invite you onboard for this sailing travel along the Tuscany coast. Starting from the Port of Pisa we will probably (it depends on meteo, remember this is a sailing adventure!) visit: 1) Capraia island and north of Elba OR 2) the "Golfo dei Poeti" and "5 terre" OR 3) Elba island. We will definitely decide a few days before the departing days based on meteo conditions and skipper suggestions. All destinations suggested are very nice and we will anyway start always from the Pisa port! In the description, I have indicated only the first option so far. This experience will give you a lot! You have the opportunity to travel on the sea by a sailing boat and to learn a lot about sailing, life onboard (funny and hard sometimes), nature, etc. We will eat on board when we are sailing and on land when we will be at the ports selected (or onboard if you prefer). When we are on land anybody can decide freely what to do. I would give suggestions! The interior of the boat is cozy and completely in wood. The kitchen corner is small so we need to be well organized for the food but I will tell you more about it. Onboard we have two cabins for 4 people with a shared bed each (you will share your cabin and bed with someone so take this into consideration. Are you enough an adventurer?) and a "dinette" or dining area (where at night I and the skipper will sleep). Consider that the space is reduced so the less you have better it is. (only the essential for an amazing experience!) We have one toilet to share (but toilets at ports) and always our experience and suggestions for you. From your part, we hope for lots of joy, curiosity, flexibility, and an open mind vision. Any questions are welcome. (last but not least: in the price are included some extras that I have detailed in the trip costs but not all as indicated). The skipper speaks only Italian so would be nice if you speak a bit of it :)

About me! I love sailing and I love to share sailing experiences with people in love with nature and positive atmospheres. Are you in love with beauty? Well in a sailing experience, you are always surrounded by beauty, not only the charm of a sailing boat that will hug you in a cozy environment all in wood but also the sound of waves at sunset time, starting at night, clear water where to swim freely, the color of the coast, the nice food at the sun or at the moonlight..and many many other things. If you are a romantic, sportive, and respectful person please enjoy our trip. The boat environment needs people to relax. open to sharing limited space and interested to live in peace with people and nature. We are very happy to welcome you onboard to an unforgettable sailing experience with us. ⛵💙

Details about the accommodation: You will sleep onboard our Almaines boat. We have available two cabins with a shared bed each. Each cabin can host two people. One of the cabins is in front of the boat and has a triangular shape; the second is the back of the cabin under the common area (it means that you will have the common area basement over your head, we can send pictures if you like). On the boat, we have one toilet to share and a dinette (dining area) that at night hosts me and the skipper. Space is limited so it is important to be happy to share space and time with others. This is an adventure on the sea! :) Do you have a question? Let me know in the Q&A section!

Trip Itinerary
1

Capraia

Day 1-2
From Pisa port we will arrive at Capraia Island in about 8 hours of sailing during which you can enjoy the sailing experience by participating, taking the sun, chatting, reading, playing an instrument... We will stay the entire night at the Capraia port. The island has a small and colorful port and a small village within walking distance from the port with small bars and restaurants. From the village, you can enjoy the nice view of the coast and make some small walks around. The day after we will visit "cala rossa", a red rock bay, on our way to Elba island.
2

Marciana Marina

Day 2-3
Marciana Marina is a colorful port of Elba Island and it is facing the sunset! I like to spend time here and wandering around. There are small shops, restaurants, sometimes street markets of handcrafted and local products, and (if we are lucky!) dolphins! It is a perfect place for a chat at the sunset, a good ice cream, or a dinner in a small square :)
3

Baratti

Day 3-4
Baratti Bay is a natural bay facing the sunset. I found this place amazing. We will have dinner onboard (we will prepare it!) and sleep at the anchor. When we will arrive I encourage you to swim up to the coast and have a nice walk on the dark sand beach full of shining minerals. If you like you can have something to drink on the wooden beach bars around.
4

Marina di Pisa

Day 4
Last day we will wake up at Baratti bay and have a nice breakfast onboard. We probably have the time for a swim in the clear water and then to prepare for the sailing back to Pisa port. We will have a light lunch onboard and probably a stop at the "Ship". We will be back at the PIsa port in the afternoon depending on the meteo.
