SARDINIA AND COSTA SMERALDA - 8 DAYS / 7 NIGHTS


Discover the wonders of the Costa Smeralda in Sardinia aboard a comfortable catamaran with 6 double cabins, Skipper and Hostess on board perform a full board service
Ancient ruins, glittering beaches, turquoise waters - you might think we're talking about the Caribbean or French Polynesia. With the best offer of islands in the Mediterranean that have nothing to envy to the Tropics, Sardinia is the dream destination par excellence.
The Costa Smeralda takes its name from the emerald color of its waters. This stretch of coast boasts miles of magnificent white sand beaches and charming seaside towns.

Explore the best beaches, the island of Tavolara, the long stretch of sand of La Cinta and the shops of Porto Cervo. The itinerary continues towards the island of Porco, Santo Stefano and Palau before heading towards Bonifacio in Corsica, sailing through the Maddalena archipelago. Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli and much more await you.
In full freedom, open your arms and open your heart. You are free to immerse yourself in the most crystalline waters, to practice the most extreme sports, to travel in time by visiting places and monuments from a mysterious past and to begin a journey into the journey of inimitable dishes and flavors.

ITINERARY:

DAY 1 - SATURDAY - Olbia - Tavolara
After boarding your catamaran at our base in Olbia, your Skipper will set sail for 9 nautical miles towards the marine protected area of the Island of Tavolara in Punta Spalmatore. With its two beaches facing each other, it offers perfect shelter from the prevailing winds. Dinner and night on board.

DAY 2 - SUNDAY - San Teodoro - Porto Rotondo - Porto Cervo
After breakfast and a swim, a short navigation of 9 miles will take you to San Teodoro to reach "La Cinta", a long and thin strip of golden sand between the sea and the lagoon renamed "Tahiti", thanks to its waters similar to tropical paradises. In the afternoon we will sail to Porto Rotondo (about 11 miles) to anchor in the Gulf of Marinella for dinner and overnight stay. From there, with the dinghy, you can reach one of the most important tourist points of Gallura, Porto Cervo. Dinner and night on board

DAY 3 - MONDAY - Baia Sardinia - Cala Bitta - Cannigione - Bear's Rock
Beautiful 14-mile sail along the Costa Smeralda towards the Gulf of Arzachena, where you can choose from numerous anchorages and small buoys to spend the day. Navigation between Baia Sardinia, Cala Bitta and Cannigione, or enjoy the Gulf of Saline. Dominated by the typical colors of Capo d'Orso, this coast is also known for the Bear's Rock which, with the erosion of the Mistral, looks just like a crouching bear. Dinner and night on board.

DAY 4 - TUESDAY - Palau - La Maddalena
After spending the evening, you will be able to discover the beaches and bays between the islets of Porco, Santo Stefano and Palau, crossing one of the most suggestive natural channels in the Mediterranean where the wind and the sea have shaped every rock. In the afternoon you will arrive at the small port of Cala Mangiavolpe, in the center of the town of La Maddalena. Dinner and night on board.

DAY 5 - WEDNESDAY - Southern Corsica - Bonifacio
You will leave the port to head towards the south of Corsica sailing between the wonderful islands of Spargi and Spargiotto and the Strait of Bonifacio to the spectacular fjord of the homonymous city: a magnificent port built at the end of the 19th century, it was then colonized by the Genoese who, for protect themselves, they made structural changes, including the construction of the citadel of Bonifacio as we know it today. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the heart of the medieval fortifications and discover the 187-step staircase that King Alfonso of Aragon had carved out of the rock. Dinner and night on board.

DAY 6 - THURSDAY - Capo Pertusato - Budelli - Razzoli - Santa Maria - Golfo del Pevero
Before leaving Corsica take a swim at Capo Pertusato where you will find an impressive rock which, both for its shape and for its position, has been renamed "Le Gouvernail de la Corse" (The Rudder of Corsica). Then, you will sail for 12 miles to the islands of Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria in the far north of the Maddalena archipelago, protected areas of the Maddalena National Park. The Rosa beach on the island of Budelli is often mentioned as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It owes its name to the color of the sand, rich in small fragments of coral, granite and shells. From there you will cruise around the island of La Maddalena and Caprera. Caprera is the second largest island of the archipelago and is a fully protected area. Connected by a 600-meter bridge built in 1958, in addition to its beauty and unspoiled nature, the island is famous for being the last residence of Giuseppe Garibaldi. He lived there for 26 years and left many relics preserved in the Garibaldi Compendium, one of the most visited museums. Sail to the Gulf of Pevero 14 miles away, where you will spend the night. Sin is located near Porto Cervo and you can reach the marina in a few minutes by rubber dinghy, for those wishing to spend a lively evening. The pedestrian area offers many shops and clubs. Night on board.

DAY 7 - FRIDAY - Pevero - Romazzino - Principe - Cala di Volpe - Olbia
The morning of the last day will allow you to enjoy a magnificent sunrise in front of the spectacular Grande Pevero beach. It is one of the most popular beaches for tourists who come to discover the Costa Smeralda. It is shaped like a half moon and reflects its own light at night. You will continue to the beaches of Romazzino and Principe (named after the Arab prince Aga Khan, founder of the Costa Smeralda) and Li Itriceddi at 6 miles. After 3 miles of navigation in front of the "emerald" promontory, you will discover four enchanting beaches: Cala di Volpe, Liscia Ruja, Petra Bianca and Petra Niedda, with their very fine and clear sand, framed by yellow-pink granite. Here you can dive into the bright blue sea before continuing to sail to our Olbia base for the last 16 miles. Dinner and night on board.

DAY 8 - SATURDAY
Disembarkation at 9 in the morning.

GRENADINES Paradise - Week on a catamaran with hostess FULL BOARD

Italy

A week based entirely on navigation, with little time for snorkeling. Obligatory, prepaid shore trips that were worth just a great lobster lunch on the beach. Rigid aperitif times, lunch and dinner, inflexible cook on the menu chosen at his unquestionable will. No possibility of changing the menu of the day, because it was not declared before and therefore sometimes we were left without being able to eat. Tense atmosphere if you didn't like the food or had requests, also due to linguistic misunderstanding. The crew spoke only French, no English or little. The quality of the wine and food is low. Frozen fish in bags, except on the first day. Cocktails that are good only on two or three occasions, because they are freshly prepared. For the rest, bottles of rum and fruit already prepared and hot. Disappointing holiday despite the very beautiful location.

The boat was very nice but I found the rules on board too strict, for example lunch at 12 and dinner at 19 for an all-Italian crew it is too early and we would have liked more flexibility. In addition, the language on board was French and, fortunately, English. Too little for an international cruise.

My rating is just enough and I would actually only give it 2 stars. Unfortunately the holiday turned out to be far below expectations, the quality / price ratio is very bad. First of all, the French skipper who speaks almost no English is unacceptable with a group of guests from various nationalities. In case of emergency, the captain must know how to give clear and quick orders and he would not have been able at all. The French hostess (his girlfriend) cooked everything except "navigation" food: for the whole holiday as vegetables only two salad leaves and one evening green beans, in the first three days there was practically no fruit and in the tropics it is a must, fish eaten only twice and meat after all; he always cooked heavy lunches / dinners that did not go well with the environment and the temperature ... The answers to the various intolerances or requests for vegetarian dishes were rude and considered only sometimes. The group we sailed with fortunately turned out to be the trump card of the holiday, we were all on the same wavelength and complained about the same things. Our collective requests to stay a little longer in one place or to change times for activities have never been answered in the affirmative, revealing an excessive rigidity on the program and on the needs of the captain-hostess as a couple. Another sore point is navigation: 13 hours at night as soon as you embark and then immediately "segregated" in the cabin with the order not to leave until 6 in the morning is madness. In our group two people were sick, one of whom was in a single cabin and neither the hostess nor the captain bothered to go and check on her and give her a hand in case of need. Unfortunately, even the places visited are below expectations: obviously they are beautiful places, but as far as coral reefs and marine fauna are concerned, they are very lacking. They made us do 2-3 snorkeling in very busy places (a little bit for a week on the boat). The cleanliness left a bit to be desired and note that the cabin has to be cleaned by itself throughout the week. Basically I loved the catamaran and the holiday at sea but there were too many poor points so in the future I will definitely evaluate other destinations and modalities.
