Sailing
If you love the sea and want to enjoy it actively, here you will find the ideal setting to try your hand at sailing on Elba Island.
On Naregno beach, directly in front of the hotel, the Naregno Sailing Centre offers facilities, services and courses designed for those who want to learn, improve or simply enjoy the sea in safety.
The natural shape of the bay and the favourable conditions make this area particularly suitable for sailing and water sports, both for beginners and more experienced sailors.
Below you will find all the information about the sailing school, courses, rentals and activities available.
The Naregno Sailing Centre
The Naregno Sailing Centre covers 3,000 square metres of private land, directly adjacent to the beach of the same name.
Inside the facility, you will find an office with a terrace, ideal for meeting and socialising, a gazebo where theory lessons are held, storage rooms for equipment and a space dedicated to children, also designed as a play area.
Naregno beach is located on the edge of the picturesque Costa dei Gabbiani, a cliff overlooking the sea that is protected and enhanced by the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.
Its eastern exposure and the natural shape of the bay, protected by the promontories of Capo Focardo (with its lighthouse) on the right and Punta della Principessa on the left, create particularly favourable conditions.
This natural protection shelters the beach from the prevailing Mistral and Sirocco winds, allowing easy departures from the beach even on the most challenging days for those attending the sailing school.
