We participate in many Regattas, including the 151 Miglia, the Giraglia, and the RORC Middle Sea Race. We start our Atlantic journey with deliveries to Mallorca and to Gibraltar on the way to the Canaries before the Atlantic Crossing back to the Caribbean.
From our base in Pisa, Italy, we sail along the Tuscan coast and either explore the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago or the picturesque coastline and small towns of Liguria. We navigate north all the way up to Portofino via Cinqueterre and the Gulf of Poets and in the south and west we sail to Elba, Capraia, and Corsica with occasional jaunts to beautiful Sardinia on our mileage builder courses.
