Elba is ideal for those who want to discover the island by sea thanks to its coastline full of small coves and bays, many of them hidden and only to be reached by boat. Those who want to learn to sail or to perfect their skills find several sailing schools on Elba, three of them are located pretty close to Hotel Santo Stefano in the Portoferraio Bay. Almost all kinds of boats can be rented. During the summer months moderate winds are predominating, whereas in spring and autumn it might become stormy too.
