Short description of the holiday The splendid archipelago of La Maddalena is an ideal place to spend your holidays on a sailing boat. Breathtaking landscapes, enchanting beaches, a multicolored crystalline sea from light blue to intense blue and emerald green. The wind, always present, mitigates the summer heat and makes the area a paradise for all sailors . Setting sail from the tourist port of Cala Gavetta, in La Maddalena, you can quickly reach the countless beaches and coves which, depending on the direction of the wind, offer safe shelters to spend the evening at anchor admiring the most beautiful sunsets: Cala Coticcio, Cala Serena, Cala Napoletana to name a few. Continue to the island of Spargi, then the island of Budelli, with the suggestive Spiaggia Rosa. You can then go out by looking at the stars in the enchanting Manto della Madonna between Santa Maria and Razzoli. Sailing in a few hours you reach the south of Corsica with the islands of Cavallo and the beautiful bay of Lavezzi where the dolphins go to sleep.
MAXIMUM PROGRAM: Saturday : Boarding in the afternoon and assignment of the cabins, galley in a supermarket that delivers directly to the pier. Dinner in a restaurant-pizzeria on the harbor.
Sunday : after breakfast we set sail to reach the island of Spargi for a first swim in Cala Corsara before the boats full of tourists arrive. A tour of the islands to do some sailing and a swim in an uncrowded bay to then arrive in the afternoon at the Cavaliere bay between Santa Maria and Budelli where you can still spend the night. Before sunset, go down with the tender for a visit to the Rosa beach and reach the belvedere from where you can contemplate the whole archipelago.
Monday : In the morning, after a swim in the Cavaliere beach, we set sail for a short navigation to the island of Lavezzi in Corsica where we will moor in Cala Lazzarina to spend the night. We will find ourselves inside one of the most beautiful bays waiting for the sunset for an aperitif with the amazing scenery of the sun setting behind Bonifacio and its white cliffs. If possible we will make a stop for lunch at Cala Zeri in Cavalò
Tuesday: After a last swim, we set sail to sail inside the Strait of Bonifacio, Mistral permitting. We will pass in front of Capo Pertusato and its cliffs. Stop for lunch at Isola Piana. In the evening we will enter the fjord to reach the busy port of Bonifacio. We will go up to the village where we will be able to dine in a characteristic restaurant and walk along the narrow streets of Bonifacio.
Wednesday : return to the Archipelago of La Maddalena hoping for the wind in the stern for a peaceful sailing. You reach Caprera, Cala Serena, Cala Napoletana and in the late afternoon Cala Coticcio or Tahiti, as the locals call it. In the evening we will look for a quiet bay to spend the night. Any bay will be good for a swim and to relax in the sun.
Thursday : Day dedicated to navigation and swimming in the bays between Caprera, Santo Stefano and Maddalena. In the evening we reach the bay in front of Porto Rafael where we can go down with the tender to visit the square and have an aperitif.
Friday : Last day strolling around the Archipelago. You go where you want. We sail, swim, enjoy the sea and the beautiful landscapes. In the evening we return to the port of La Maddalena
Saturday: In the morning, pack your bags, disembark. The vacation is all over at home.

An absurd experience to say the least. Rude and opinionated skipper who treated us like we were there to disturb. Dry and annoyed answers, bordering on ruining our holiday. He ate standing with his back to us who nicely reserved his place at the table, offering him everything we had in abundance in the galley. No explanations about the boat or the places to visit. Cinque Terre ? We saw one from afar, and then we were reprimanded by the coast guard, because the boat VERY SERIOUS THING! He did not have permits to navigate in that area. A bay on the first day, a bay on the second day, always around. The listless skipper spent his time lying on the sofa with his feet in the air without even moving when we passed by to cook. I could cite a thousand episodes of coarseness to the nth degree. We tried not to ruin the holiday, but obviously being only two then him, it was difficult. The skipper is important, he leaves you with a good memory. Years ago I spent a wonderful week with a fantastic skipper who made you feel at home. But this time it went badly. My friend, for whom it was the first time on a sailboat, says NEVER AGAIN. I suggest Mr. Renato to direct his interests to other activities, because he is not the right person in this one. And for those who booked after us... I'm sorry! I will make a more in-depth report by writing to the management of Sailsquare, which does not really make a good impression

Excellent experience: Renato is a very competent Captain with deep knowledge of the Maddalena archipelago and southern Corsica. Highly recommended!
