Board a private vessel as the Elba sun dips towards Corsica and the granite cliffs turn amber — sipping Prosecco and local bites as you glide past sea caves and deserted coves inaccessible by land. A pure, unhurried luxury moment on Tuscan waters.
What to expect
The skipper departs Portoferraio harbour as the afternoon heat softens, rounding the dramatic cape past Punta Enfola before anchoring in a sheltered cove for a swim. Local Elban wines, Aperol spritzes and a spread of bruschetta and seafood are served on deck. The return into Portoferraio harbour at dusk, with the Medici walls glowing gold above you, is an image that stays forever. Groups are small by design — this is never a party boat.
Good to know
Departs approximately 2.5–3 hours before all-aboard; confirm exact timing with the operator. Tender port — allow 15 minutes from tender to the marina. Bring a light wrap for the return leg; evenings on the water can be breezy.
