Freediving Sailing and Spearfishing Cruise 19-26 July – Elba, Capraia e Corsica
July 19-26, 2025 departing from San Vincenzo in Tuscany and heading to Elba Island and Capraia and Corsica!
In partnership with Oxygen Sail, a sailing cruise to freediving in the Tuscan Archipelago; dedicate a week aboard PETREL, a 15-meter sailing cabin cruiser and enjoy recreational freediving in the settings that have seen the birth of modern freediving legends such as Jaques Mayol. You will be sailing in Europe’s largest Marine Park; and it is here that the Cetacean Sanctuary is located, so there is a good chance of encountering dolphins and if we are lucky (a lot) even whales.
What we do on board?
Look at the page dedicated to sailing cruises to discover the activities on board; in addition to the daily practice of sailing, a workshop on the recognition of fish and marine mammals living in our sea. In addition it is always possible to practice recreational freediving or, upon request, participate in a SSI Freediving course. For spearfishers, following the instructions of the captain and the rules of sustainable and safe fishing, there are excellent opportunities to practice their passion or to participate in a course or individual lessons.

A comfortable Sun Odyssey 51 equipped with 4 double cabins and 4 bathrooms in addition to the crew cabin.
