, : JULY 3 - JULY 10

Join us on Friday, July 3, for a get-acquainted meeting and dinner in Il Veliero, a typical Tuscan restaurant with unbelievable food.

The following morning, we will be checked out on our yachts in Marina di Scarlino near Follonica, about 2.5 hours by train from Rome.

Our itinerary will be to sail from Scarlino to on the island of , Where Napoleon Bonaparte was briefly exiled, and spend the first night there.

From Porto Azzurro, we will sail to , where we will visit the house of Napoleon and the old city.

On Monday, we head towards the island of Capraia, where we will overnight in its beautiful little port, walk up to the old fortress that dominates the harbor and have dinner in a local restaurant.

After a restful night, we will sail along the coast of Capraia and anchor for a swim at its southernmost point in the Cala del Moreto, then cross back to Elba and sail to Marina, a lovely small port, where we will stay an extra day to take the funky cable lift to the top of Monte Capanne from where you will have an unbelievable panorama of the island.

On Thursday night we will be back on the mainland and spend the night at Castiglione della Pescaia, a lovely old fishing village with excellent marina and restaurants.

Sadly enough, we have reached Friday and must return to Scarlino but not without some more good sailing in the Bay of Follonica and some last refreshing swimming on the way back.

We strongly encourage you to add some Italian tourism to this trip either before or after the flotilla. Tuscany is worth staying a few days. Visit Florence, Sienna, Pisa and some hidden gems like Pittigliano in the mountains. Of course, nobody should forget a stop-over in Rome with its hundreds of historic attractions.

The flotilla cost per person is only $1,750.00 on monohull and $1.950 on a catamaran (no surcharge for single occupancy).

Book early as this will fill up fast!

As always, looking forward to sailing with you! Stay safe and healthy!
