SPORT: Italian Naval League section. of Portoferraio
The Italian Naval League, a recognized moral body and with the patronage of the President of the Republic, has among its constitutive principles the formation of a seafaring culture. For this the section of Portoferraio, founded in 1901, by Cav. Domenico Bigeschi, first President, has always been committed to favoring entry, for all those who wish, to the world of the sea and sailing. Moreover, this year we have been able to notice the increase in interest in sailing.
Portoferraio Sailing School
Under the expert guidance of qualified instructors of the Italian Sailing Federation, sailing courses for children, teenagers and adults are set up by the Lega Navale di Poroferraio. At the nautical base of San Giovanni, there are courses of initiation to sailing up to those of improvement and for those who want to continue even pre-competitive. The boats used are optimist, taz, vaurien, trident, and the open’BIC. Hours are from 9.00 to 18.00 from Monday to Friday. We therefore invite you to ask for more information on this new way to experience the island in harmony with nature.
