This experience, in a nutshell

Welcome aboard a unique and unforgettable adventure along the beautiful north-east coast of Sardinia, between Costa Smeralda and the Maddalena Archipelago, crossing the Strait of Bonifacio to discover southern Corsica (Lavezzi, Cavallo, Isola Piana, Bonifacio), an area characterized by the beauty of the sea and unspoiled coasts.

Sometimes we find ourselves dreaming of tropical paradises on the other side of the world, Caribbean beaches and crystal clear water, forgetting the hidden gems in the Mediterranean.

The sea of Sardinia and Corsica, with their beaches and transparent seabed, is undoubtedly among the most beautiful in the world.

What to expect:

Modern and fully equipped sailboat, equipped with generator, watermaker and numerous amenities
Comfort on board: despite the presence of 5 real double cabins and 5 bathrooms, a maximum of 6 people can be accommodated in 3 cabins with private electric bathrooms, to ensure space and privacy
Authentic experience: Fabio, a professional skipper with over 55,000 miles sailed and professional titles, will take care of every detail ensuring safety and careful management of the cruise
On-board hostess dedicated to preparing meals and cleaning common areas, for a holiday completely oriented towards comfort
Relaxation and activities: swimming, snorkeling, shore excursions and the pleasure of experiencing the sea in freedom

The cruise will begin with the departure from Golfo Aranci (Olbia), heading towards the Costa Smeralda and continuing towards the magnificent Maddalena Archipelago, to discover coves and beaches known all over the world. Afterwards, we will set sail towards the south of Corsica, sailing in the waters of the Strait of Bonifacio Nature Reserve, with stops at Isola Piana, Lavezzi and Cavallo.

Before returning to Golfo Aranci, depending on the time available and the weather and sea conditions, it will be possible to head south to visit the Marine Protected Area of Tavolara, the Spalmatore beach and the island of Molara, with its famous natural "pools", characterized by waters of multiple shades of blue, light sand and scents of the Mediterranean scrub.

There are many places to visit and, for this reason, each itinerary will be flexible and adapted to your needs, the time available and the sea conditions. These indications are to be considered in principle, with the certainty that the skipper will be able to manage the itinerary in the most suitable way, satisfying your desires while respecting safety.

A sailing holiday in these seas allows you to discover and experience extraordinary places, leaving an indelible memory.

Hope to meet you on board soon!

Frequent questions

🚗 By car
From the mainland you can reach the ports of embarkation for Sardinia via the motorway: Livorno, Civitavecchia and Genoa are the main departure points for ferries to the north-eastern coast of the island; ferry durations vary depending on the route and operator. Once disembarked in Golfo Aranci or Olbia, the town can be reached by car following the exits towards the north-eastern coast; the transfer from Olbia to the center of Golfo Aranci takes about 20-30 minutes in normal traffic conditions. On the Sardinian road network, the connection with the province and the main cities takes place through the arteries that connect Olbia and the east coast.

🚆 By train
On the mainland, the stations that allow access to the ports of embarkation are, among others, Livorno Centrale, Civitavecchia and Genoa, connected with the main national railway nodes (Rome, Florence, Milan) by Intercity and regional; From these stations you can continue by car or local services to the ferry terminals. In Sardinia the reference station is Olbia: regional trains connect Olbia with some internal lines of the island and the station is connected with bus routes and taxi services that take you to Golfo Aranci in about 20-30 minutes. From Sardinian cities such as Sassari the train journey to Olbia can take around 1.5-2 hours; from Cagliari the train connections require changes and longer times.

✈️ By plane
The nearest airport is Olbia Costa Smeralda (OLB), about 25-35 km from Golfo Aranci; the transfer from the airport can be done by rental car, taxi and regional bus services or direct shuttles to Olbia and continue to Golfo Aranci in 25-35 minutes by road. Olbia is served by domestic flights and seasonal and year-round connections with various European carriers (including low-cost airlines and domestic networks), with frequent connections during the busiest periods; alternatively, the airports of Alghero and Cagliari offer national and international connections with longer road transfers to the north-eastern coast.

⛴️ By ferry/hydrofoil
Golfo Aranci has a passenger port with maritime connections from several ports on the continent; the main departures are from Civitavecchia, Livorno and, in some periods, Genoa; the companies operating the seasonal and winter routes include operators such as Moby, Tirrenia/Grandi Navi Veloci and Grimaldi, with journeys ranging approximately from 6-8 hours from Civitavecchia or Livorno to over 10 hours from Genoa, depending on the service and the stopover; on arrival the port of Golfo Aranci is directly connected to the urban center a short distance by road.

Fabio, the skipper, made us live a fantastic holiday by making us visit beautiful places. Fabio is a highly experienced [hidden] who knows how to combine the steering of the boat with grace and attention to guests. Last but not least, Claudia, a great hostess, pampered us by cooking delicious food, presented as you want to a master chef!!! To repeat and that I recommend to everyone! Ps. He also taught us the art of groundbait.

I had the pleasure of experiencing a sailing holiday for the first time and I am delighted to have made this choice, nothing could have been more exciting! A fantastic experience! The boat was beautiful, super well-kept and comfortable, and Fabio and Claudia made us feel at home immediately. Sailing with the wind was amazing: crystal clear sea, beautiful breathtaking views and a lot of relaxation. Fabio is an excellent professional skipper, Claudia pampered us in a unique way with her delicacies! We bathed in beautiful places, and enjoyed a vacation that I will carry in my heart for a long time. I can't wait to get back on board, this is an experience that I highly recommend to anyone who needs to regenerate!
