The experience takes place on a boat, aboard a modern 11-meter Sorrento gozzo equipped with every comfort. We will sail at sunset in the splendid scenery of the Island of Elba, on the east side. We will visit the coves and the most evocative places on that side and then stop in the harbor for a swim and an aperitif at sunset. The departure is scheduled at approximately 6 pm (at 5 pm from September 1st) and will end after sunset at approximately 9 pm (at 8 pm from September 1st). During the excursion we will taste an aperitif based on typical local products, from land or sea, and local and national wines and beers, perhaps after a dip at sunset.
