This experience, in a nutshell

Sailing starting from an alternative Sardinia, the Gulf of Orosei, to arrive at the more exclusive one of the Maddalena archipelago. Boarding is in Arbatax, a lively town on the east coast that can be reached directly by ferry or plane flying to Olbia. From here you can explore the coves of the Gulf of Orosei, Cala Luna, Goloritze, Mariolu, some of the most evocative and impressive scenery in the world, transparent water framed by majestic cliffs overlooking the sea bordered by white beaches. Stop in Cala Gonone, a real Sardinian tourist resort, then head towards Caletta, San Teodoro, Capo coda Cavallo and the islands of Tavolara and Molara, majestic and exclusive, reachable only from the sea. We continue north and, without realizing it, we enter another scenario.


The Maddalena archipelago looks like this, between rocks sculpted by the wind and colors that turn pink, with some of the most iconic beaches on the island.

The journey ends in Cannigione, the side and less obvious gateway to the Costa Smeralda. But at that point the feeling is clear: more than a route, it was a crossing into two different Sardinias, united only by the sea.

A beautiful week on a sailing boat! ⛵️ A special thanks goes to our skipper Guido, really good: very competent in the management of the boat, always attentive and helpful, but also able to involve us in decisions about the holiday. He always explained to us what we could visit and left us great freedom to choose together what to do, where to go and what to see, trying to satisfy our desires as much as possible. The places visited were beautiful and made the week really enjoyable. Another strong point was certainly the company: although starting among people who did not know each other, a beautiful group and a beautiful harmony were immediately created. A holiday that I will remember with great pleasure, both for the experience on the boat and the places visited, and for the people with whom I shared it. And again congratulations to Guido, who certainly contributed to making it special!

We spent a wonderful week, with Manuel at the helm, the perfect navigation, the corners of paradise to stop in which he wisely selected, even interpreting the preferences of the crew even before asking. Manuel was also able to give excellent advice for the management of the galley, without excesses and waste. We highly recommend this skipper to anyone who wants to experience unforgettable moments on a sailing boat: safety, competence and sympathy, all in one person. We will definitely be back! Thank you Manuel all wonderfuloooso Ombretta and Carmela 🥰

The experience was decidedly positive: first of all, our congratulations go to the skipper Guido, a super prepared and helpful guy who was able to guide us in this adventure by listening to our preferences and interacting with the group in an impeccable way. Really thank you for everything! as for the destination, nothing to complain about: both the Côte d'Azur and the Porquerolles islands are enchanting and the weather - together with Guido's professionalism and skill - allowed us both to sail and to spend hours of relaxation between baths, meals and sunsets in the roadstead. The skipper also involved us in the maneuvers making the experience even more intense. We must also say that the group of participants, although unknown, immediately proved to be close-knit and the atmosphere of serenity and fun certainly made this week unforgettable! Daiana and Fabio
