From Porto di Roma, this varied trip takes us along one of Italy's most beautiful sailing areas. Over around 230 nautical miles we experience the diversity of the Tyrrhenian Sea – from unspoilt islands and sheltered anchorages to the impressive coast of southern Tuscany.

Our first longer passage takes us to the Argentario peninsula. Steep rocky cliffs, small bays and charming Porto Ercole offer the perfect introduction to the trip. Those who wish can enjoy their first swim in crystal-clear water or a cappuccino overlooking the harbour.

From Argentario we cross to Giglio. The small granite island delights with turquoise water, picturesque anchorages and the lively Giglio Porto. From there the route takes us on to Elba. The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago offers a fascinating mix of impressive nature, historic harbour towns and wonderful bathing bays.

Next up is Capraia – the wildest island of the archipelago. Volcanic landscapes, spectacular cliffs and the idyllic natural harbour make it a very special destination. Here we enjoy the tranquillity and unspoilt character away from the major tourist crowds.

To finish, we set course for the Tuscan coast. Passing Livorno, we reach Porto di Pisa at the mouth of the Arno. From there the famous old town of Pisa with its Leaning Tower is quickly accessible, forming the perfect conclusion to a varied sailing trip.

This trip combines active sailing with relaxed island stops, Mediterranean lifestyle and some of the finest cruising grounds on the Italian west coast – ideal for anyone wanting to experience the Tyrrhenian Sea in depth.
