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 major islands (Maddalena, Caprera, Santo Stefano, Spargi, Budelli, Santa Maria and Razzoli), numerous islets and minor rocks.


Covered with plants typical of the Mediterranean scrub, all these islands, largely uninhabited, are characterized by a succession of coves and beaches with fine sand bathed by a wonderful emerald sea. Another determining element of the undisputed charm of this archipelago is undoubtedly the granite nature of its rocks, shaped for millennia by the sea and the wind.

For the protection of such an environmental heritage, the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park was established in 1996, with the aim of preserving the magnificent marine flora and fauna that characterizes it.


During the navigation we will be constantly surrounded by indescribable natural scenery that has bewitched even Napoleon, Nelson and Garibaldi. How not to mention, for example, Cala Corsara which is located on the island of Spargi, where a fine white beach merges with a clear and crystalline sea, or the Pink beach on the island of Budelli, which takes its name from the characteristic color that its sand takes on due to crumbling.

From here, instead of going north on this cruise, we will go south, that is, towards the Costa Smeralda but above all towards Tavolara and the Molara pools, not before making a stop in the pretty Cala Moresca where it is

it is very likely to spot dolphins roaming inside the nets of the fish farm located in the Golfo Aranci.

Disembarkation takes place in Olbia, very close to the port/airport.

I had wanted to sail to the Grenadines for a long time. I am overall quite satisfied with the holiday, despite a bit of tension between a crew member and the captain

Canary-Martinique Atlantic crossing. Adventure of a lifetime!

I am sorry to have to point out the serious shortcomings of the skipper in making the crew find a boat in order and safely to face such a long journey. No sail of respect, the bow old and worn, serious leaks of diesel in the bilge resulting in unbearable smell under deck, we finished the gas a week before arrival ... These are just some of the serious shortcomings of the skipper.----------------------SPOWER OF THE SKIPPER----------------------Caro Federico, I read your review and report the following. I did 7 Atlantic crossings, one of which was completely solo: I don't think I have to take sailing lessons. I can't hide from you that the relationships were difficult with the whole crew. What you call "old and worn sail" brought you all a day early to Martinique, so I do not consider your criticisms valid because with the facts I have shown something else. Unfortunately, contrary to what you told me, none of the crew was actually able to stay at the helm and in the only half hour in which the autopilot did not work there were several moments of difficulty. You boarded believing you were taking a regular sailing cruise and not an Atlantic crossing of over 20 days in the middle of the ocean. I can't even forget your behavior when after being sick in the bathroom you didn't bother to clean in the slightest and left the task to me. The only thing I would like to give you, in part, reason for concerns the loss of diesel, caused by a job done badly by the mechanic and then solved.
