Sailing in Tuscany; Sandy beaches, character islands, and natural beauty

Tuscany is more than vineyards and Renaissance cities—it’s also home to the stunning Tuscan Archipelago, a group of seven islands with golden beaches, clear waters, and picturesque anchorages. Legend says they were pearls dropped by Venus into the Tyrrhenian Sea, becoming Elba, Giglio, Capraia, and more. Now protected as the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, the largest marine park in Europe, this region offers a unique and tranquil sailing experience. With Seamaster, explore this lesser-known side of Italy, rich in natural beauty, charm, and, of course, incredible food and wine.

What an amazing holiday it was.

A group of us booked a catamaran and it was just perfect - the organization, the boat itself with lots of space & great facilities. The skipper was superb, letting us know the best spots on the islands... Big thanks to Seamaster!

Seamaster always deliver!

Yet another amazing trip with Seamaster! They always find us the ideal boat, even with last-minute plan changes. This time, travel restrictions redirected our long-awaited Sardinia adventure to the Ionian, but it was still an unforgettable week.

Thank you so much!

Our holiday was brilliant. We had the best week. In particular, the crew were fantastic. The chef, Kim, was a very talented lady, and Aggolos the skipper and Dora were the nicest people. They really made our week special.

An unforgettable holiday

We just returned from an unforgettable 40th birthday celebration (7 friends) in the Saronic Islands. It was pure freedom and escapism! We had no idea what to expect, but Tim Anderson assured us we'd have the time of our lives—and he was absolutely right!

Thank you, Thomas!

We had an unforgettable experience, thanks to our amazing skipper… From sailing and letting us join in at our own pace to recommending delicious meals, securing the best sunset views, guiding us home after lively nights, and finding breathtaking spots to unwind—every moment was spectacular!

Everyone absolutely loved it!

Words cannot describe enough just how much we enjoyed our first sailing holiday to Croatia. We literally had the greatest time… our skipper was fabulous (Nik) and became part of the family. Nobody wanted to come home!

1 Week - Tuscan Islands Route

Day 1 – Piombino

Many see Piombino as just a starting point for their holiday, however the town has much more to offer than initially meets the eye. The historical centre is a perfect size to explore on foot and offers places such as the gate of St. Antonino which dates back to 1200.

Day 2 – Giannutri

Giannutri has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and Romans later built the first harbour. The island is extremely popular with scuba divers and is well worth visiting if you like snorkelling too. The island only has an area of 2 square kilometres but the coasts are filled with fascinating coves

Day 3 – Giglio

This island is an enormous mass of grey granite covered with deep-green vegetation. Its steep coastline alternatives with small beaches. The whole island is extremely well kept thanks to the locals being so proud of their island. We’d recommend visiting the fortified village at the top of the island.

Day 7 – Piombino

If you didn’t get the opportunity to visit the town centre on your first evening we would recommend taking the time to visit. Within the old town there are several good restaurants which are worth visiting. After dinner you could go and explore with Plazzo Comunale (Town Hall) which is adjacent to the Torre dell’Orologio (Clock Tower).

We love to help, it's kinda our thing

We're real people with proper expertise, waiting to share this with you to ensure the most incredible holiday you can imagine. Don't wait, get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have two bases that serve the Tuscan Islands of Italy – Castiglioncello and Puntone. Puntone is our primary base and is the better located of the two. It is situated just outside the town of Follonica, on the Tuscan coast. It is a small modern marina with lots of amenities and is easy to reach from either Pisa or Rome. Castiglioncello is located south of Livorno on the Tuscan Coast. While closer to Pisa, it does mean a longer sail to get to the islands and therefore seen as not desirable.

The primary way to get to our bases in Tuscany is via Pisa Airport. You can also reach the Tuscan coast (particlarly Follonica) from Rome, though it does take a bit longer. For some reason, transfers are very expensive in Italy so we recommend taking the train to both our bases. Puntone is reached by taking a direct train from Pisa Centrale to Follonica and then a short taxi ride to Puntone Marina (Marina di Scarlino). It should take an hour and a half or so.

The weather in the Tuscan Islands is typically Mediterranean, with hot and dry summers bringing temperatures in the early 30s throughout the peak season of July and August. During May and September expect temperatures in the mid 20s. During the summer months the prevailing wind is west – north westerly and it rarely reaches gale force. Around Capraia, Elba and down the mainland coast to Giannutri there will often be south east winds with frequent periods of calm. At night there is often a light west or south west breeze.

As with the rest of Italy, moorings fee are not insubstantial though there are plenty of free anchorages around, especially on the island of Elba. Budget upwards of €400 for your weeks’ mooring, though this can been reduced by anchoring in the many idyllic bays on offer. On Elba check out Cala Bagnaia, Cala di Mola, Golfo Stella, Golfo della Lacona and Golfo di Procchio.

Charterers in Italy need a minimum of an RYA Day Skipper. We recommend having an ICC certificate (International Certificate of Competence). If you are in any doubt, please contact Seamaster and we will advised you or even get pre-approval.
