The Gulf of Baratti: the charm of the Tuscan coastline
The headquarters of Katabasis Freediving and Sailing is in the Gulf of Baratti between the Val di Cornia Parks on the Etruscan Coast; a strategic location for sea lovers, right opposite of Elba Island, in the heart of the Tuscan Archipelago Marine Park and in the middle of the Cetacean Sanctuary.
COURSES AND TRAINING
Starting from the characteristic small port of Baratti, it is possible to train on the cable or take Freediving and Spearfishing courses in an unspoilt environment that will surprise you with its beauty. Freediving and sailing cruises to discover the Island of Elba and the Tuscan Archipelago Marine Park also depart from our premises. We play at home here!
RECREATIONAL FREEDIVING AND SNORKELING
If you love nature and simply want to get to know and understand it better, don’t miss the opportunity to discover the seabed of the Costa degli Etruschi and the Island of Elba by doing Recreational Freediving. And if you want to involve the whole family, take part in a snorkeling excursion during which a Katabasis Freediving and Sailing guide will involve you with a short lesson on the marine environment.
Do you know this area?
In addition to sea activities, in the Gulf of Baratti and throughout the Val di Cornia you can go trekking, hiking and mountain-biking thanks to a dense network of paths where you can practice. And if that weren’t enough, the Gulf of Baratti is an incredibly fascinating land, rich in history and culture where you can eat and drink very well!
