Outcage Tailor Made: Sail, Celebrate and Make the Best
Out of your boat trip Tuscan Archipelago
Your tailor-made holiday!
Did you know that Venus lost her necklace while swimming in these waters? With the sailing trip to the island of Elba you will be able to see the pearls lost by the goddess of beauty emerging from the sea… The seven islands forming the Tuscan archipelago are marvellous.
On the greater one, the island of Elba, Napoleon spent his first exile, which was made less painful by the beauty of the landscapes and the colours of nature.
It is no coincidence that sailors from all over the world come to the beaches of Biodola, Procchio or Fetovaia.
Not far away is Corsica: it is not part of the archipelago but, if weather is friendly, why not to go for a short visit?
If you love to alternate sport and relax, this trip is the right one for you!

Itinerary
Day 1 Salivoli - Tuscany
ou didn’t get to sleep because of the excitement, we know it … but we are finally here, READY TO GO! We will meet in the port “Marina di Salivoli” around 1.00 pm / 2.00 pm. Boats will be delivered around 4.00 pm. We will do a little briefing with the skipper and take some time to set up the galley. It is also a way to get to know the people that will be dining with you tonight! Tonight we will sleep in the marina.
Day 2 Marciana Marina – Elba Island
After 4 hours sailing we will get to Marciana Marina, where a breathtaking view will welcome you. Here you will have the chance to satisfy your appetite in one of the many restaurants. You will not only satisfy your stomach, but also the spirit with the wonderful views that you can enjoy in this naturalistic jewel. Tonight, we will sleep in the harbor under the starry sky.
Day 3 Punta Rossa – Capraia
Cala Rossa is located in the extreme south of the island and is one of the most spectacular coves of the Tuscan archipelago. Every sailing enthusiast should take a ride around here… On the immaculate waters you can admire the contrasting colors of the rocks of the promontory of the Zenobito and the incredible red rocks eroded by the salt. A breathtaking view!
Day 4 Macinaggio - Corsica
Today we will go to Corsica… We will meet the nice cows of the famous Tamarone Beach, then head to the port of Macinaggio, where we will spend the night. Yes, cows… You will find plenty of them stretching out on the shore and ready to take a selfie with you!

Tonight, we will also sleep at anchor. After an intense day spent on the golden beaches of Fetovaia, you will be so tired that a good sleep is going to be all you need! Yes, all right.

The boats
The sailboat is a cozy floating house that allows you to visit places otherwise inaccessible by land and allows you to experience the sea from a completely different perspective. It is not just a mean to get to places otherwise inaccessible, it is a life style.
All boats are equipped with double cabins with double beds or bunk beds. This means that if you are not travelling with someone you know you will share the cabin with a new friend. The cabins are generally homogeneous by gender (men with men and women with women). Alternatively, you will have the opportunity to book the entire cabin for yourself or the whole yacht with all your old friends. Every boat is equipped with 2, 3 or 4 bathrooms. The kitchen includes a hob, oven and a large fridge. All Outcage boats guarantee the highest standards of safety and comfort. Throughout the winter, we select our boats carefully from certified shipping companies. Each boat is always newly built and has all the available options for cruising. Our itineraries are created paying the utmost attention to the locations, to ensure the right mix of fun, relaxation and breathtaking views.
JUST SIT DOWN, RELAX AND HAVE FUN!
The Crews
Whether you are an expert or a novice, crews are prepared previously to departure, and informed about essential rules concerning safety in particular.
We place the utmost attention in creating heterogeneous crews by gender and age of participants. Once you get on board, the skipper will take the lead.
For those who show interest in learning about navigation, there will be the chance to learn some notions of sailing and some essential sailor’s knots!
Skippers
Our commanders, coordinated by a skipper who is familiar with all the destinations, are top level professional. Each of them has plenty of navigation experience and has attended a training course lasted all winter in order to get ready to welcome and guide you through this unique experience! The skipper is the most experienced and the highest authority on board. He is in charge of leading the boat and is responsible for everything that happens on board. They will be available for helping you out in every situation. Every day the skippers will coordinate the routes to be taken, always keeping in mind the needs of the members of the crews on board. Each choice will be made to ensure the highest degree of safety for all members of the crew.
