For TIDE’s special tenth issue, it’s all eyes on Italy – specifically the Tuscan Archipelago, an ancient set of rugged, romantic isles set between vineyard and sea. We explore Pianosa, a former prison island for Mafia bosses which has become a beautiful example of rewilding, Elba, a gritty isle indelibly associated with Napoleon yet with so much more to her story, plus a string of smaller spots full of surprises in our La Dolce Vita Itinerary. Out on the water, we delve into a mighty trio of at once rapid and sleek boats and brands: from new ocean gladiator Maximus and the legendary Kokomo to the fast-accelerating Gunboat brand, before circling back and picking out our ten favourite destinations sailed to so far in honour of our double-digit edition – plus much, much more.
Amore, vela e sole (‘Love, sailing and sun’)
