This experience, in a nutshell

In the middle of the western Mediterranean, where Corsica and Sardinia chase each other in one of the most seductive stretches of sea in the world, the Maddalena Archipelago emerges in all its beauty.

Located off the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, it consists of seven main islands (Maddalena, Caprera, Santo Stefano, Spargi, Budelli, Santa Maria and Razzoli), numerous islets and smaller rocks.

Covered with typical Mediterranean scrub, all these islands, most of which are uninhabited, are characterised by a succession of coves and beaches with fine sand lapped by a wonderful emerald sea. Another decisive factor in the undisputed charm of this archipelago is undoubtedly the granite nature of its rocks, which have been shaped over thousands of years by the sea and wind.

To protect this environmental heritage, the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park was established in 1996 with the aim of preserving the magnificent marine flora and fauna that characterises it.

During the trip, we will be constantly surrounded by indescribable natural scenery that has enchanted even Napoleon, Nelson and Garibaldi. How can we not mention, for example, Cala Corsara on the island of Spargi, where a fine white beach merges with crystal clear sea, or the Rosa beach on the island of Budelli, which takes its name from the characteristic colour of its sand, caused by the crumbling of the shells of certain marine microorganisms. Finally, Bonifacio is a must for anyone visiting the archipelago. The incredible view at the entrance to the port, accessed through a fjord with white rock walls over 70 metres high, leaves everyone breathless...

The Boat

Il Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54 DS (che sta per deck saloon, ovvero tuga rialzata) è una barca innovativa ed elegante che coniuga le necessità della crociera a delle buone prestazioni a vela. A prima vista colpiscono la sua lunga linea di galleggiamento, la linea flessuosa, i volumi e gli ampi spazi sia interni che esterni. E colpisce il modo in cui il cantiere francese ha saputo conciliare eleganza e comodità con buone performance e facilita’ di conduzione. Negli spazi esterni, si nota sicuramente la tuga che assomiglia ad un lungo occhio a mandorla e rende molto flessuoso l’intero profilo del Sun Odyssey 54 DS. Il caratteristico disegno della coperta è definito da molti come “italiano”, che in termine di stile è decisamente un complimento. Nella tradizione del cantiere Jeanneau, il pozzetto e tutta la zona poppiera sono concepiti per essere funzionali ed estremamente comodi. Il pozzetto del Sun Odyssey 54 DS è suddiviso in tre aree: quella che ospita i due timoni, quella intorno al tavolo abbattibile per il relax e lo svago, quella vicina all’ingresso sottocoperta per le manovre della randa e dei carrelli del fiocco. All’estrema poppa la plancetta è larga e facilita la discesa in acqua e in banchina. Lo stile e la comodità della coperta fanno coppia con lo scafo caratterizzato da una lunga linea di galleggiamento e dalla solidità della costruzione. Le attrezzature del Sun Odyssey 54 DS sono ben pensate per navigazioni anche impegnative e per una conduzione in equipaggio limitato. Questa disposizione, caratteristica anche di molte altre barche del cantiere francese, facilita di molto la manovrabilità del Sun Odyssey 54 DS. Tutte le prove in mare evidenziano infatti la facilità con cui una barca di queste dimensioni riesce ad essere manovrata da due persone anche in condizioni di vento sostenuto. Sottocoperta i volumi sono ampi e ben sfruttati. La dinette ha la caratteristica di essere leggermente rialzata rispetto al piano del quadrato e delle cucina, permettendo di godere della vista dalla finestratura della tuga. Il grande tavolo e i divani si trovano a dritta, come il tavolo da carteggio, mentre a sinistra si trovano la grande cucina a C, superaccessoriata, e una seduta con un tavolino.

Boat not new, but functional and well divided and equipped. Obviously a top destination, between Northern Sardinia and Corsica. Skipper and hostess (brother and sister) kind, but... each smoked 20+ cigarettes a day and there were always full ashtray glasses and there was always the smell of smoke, almost everywhere. I understand that there is freedom to smoke, but a little attention to those who do not smoke would be expected. In addition, great disorder in the dinette, with provisions not stored but left ... under the table, and fires and sink almost perpetually dirty from the previous meal... Honestly, having also had other experiences, and considering the costs, I expected more attention. Good food and well prepared.

We have just returned and we are already homesick! It was a beautiful week, between crystal clear waters, wonderful coves, sailing and views that we will hardly forget. Massimo is an experienced skipper who always makes you feel in good hands and chooses the best route based on the sea and the wind, also taking you to truly special places. Martina was welcoming and pampered us all week with really good lunches, dinners and aperitifs. To make the holiday even more special were the company and the many laughs with our travel companions Anthony and Sergio: in a few days a beautiful atmosphere was created, as if we had known each other forever. Even our son Noah, 9 years old, at his first experience on a sailing boat had a lot of fun and Massimo had many small attentions for him that made him live this adventure with enthusiasm and serenity. The boat is comfortable, well maintained and the atmosphere that was created on board made everything even more beautiful. One of those holidays that end too quickly and that immediately make you want to leave again. Thank you Massimo, Martina and the whole crew for this wonderful week, we will carry this experience in our hearts! Andrea, Fabiola and Noah

From Cagliari to Cannigione.. exploring the east coast of Sardinia

It was a lovely week's trip all along the east coast of Sardinia. I particularly enjoyed all the swimming and snorkelling. Skipper is v competent. My only improvement would be going ashore a bit more for a walk.
