10 / 10
Very relaxing and fun holiday. Roberta was a perfect Captain, attentive and scrupulous during the navigation and with the guests on board. I recommend without delay to travel with her. The boat is comfortable, clean and tidy! I must say that the holiday met expectations

review about One way offshore sailing course from Neptune to Sardinia May 2022

8 / 10
The idea of the Tyrrhenian crossing was fascinating: not seeing lands emerged for a long journey and witnessing the changing colors of sky and sea will remain dear to me! Skipper Alberto was helpful and attentive to the needs of his crew and other travel companions. really a discovery! Fantastic experience!!

review about Sailing in the Maddalena archipelago and southern Corsica on a brand new Lagoon46 August 2021

10 / 10
What a fantastic experience! Gianni is a very experienced skipper and a wonderful guy, He made us feel at home on Marelia and took us to some of the most beautiful bays in Sardinia and Corsica, we swam, dived, waterskied, cooked, drank and laughed together. Marelia is an amazing catamaran, spacious, brand new and with all the comforts including air con and sound system. I can’t wait to sail again with Gianni and the #Lagoon’sLovers ?? #bagnetto #birretta ———— Che esperienza fantastica! Gianni è uno skipper molto esperto e un ragazzo meraviglioso ?? ci ha portato in alcuni dei posti più belli della Sardegna e della Corsica, abbiamo nuotato, fatto immersioni e sci d’acqua, abbiamo cucinato, bevuto e riso insieme. Marelia è un catamarano bellissimo, spazioso, nuovo e dotato di tutti i comfort, aria condizionata e sound system inclusi! Non vediamo l’ora di poter veleggiare di nuovo con Gianni e i #LagoonLovers ?? #bagnetto #birretta Mari & Carlo

review about Sardinia, from Barcelona: high altitude crossing and well-deserved relaxation September 2021

10 / 10
Alfons and Gonzalo on the boat and Inma on land form a great and compact team, the trip has been an experience, the crossing from Bcn to Alguero is a mini challenge for those who are thinking about being on the high seas without having to cross the Atlantic.... ;) Sardinia keeps multiple secrets, the visits we did very well but the island gives of itself to return again Thanks for the expedition

review about The magic of the Maddalena under sail August 2021

10 / 10
A brand new, comfortable and spacious boat, a super nice crew and the magic of the Sardinian sea. Three perfect ingredients together with Giorgio expert skipper, attentive to the minimum desires of the crew, jovial, nice and always available to animate the days and evenings, both at anchor and in the correct breaks on the ground! A plus the services offered on board: perfectly organized galley and already ready and organized, dedicated meals and served x all the crew, organization of admirable time, a careful eye to safety and comfort without forgetting that we are on a sailboat, and therefore great sailing as soon as you felt a little breeze .. what to say ?? a holiday that was worth twice as much as sold .. congratulations really!

Andrea in addition to being a formidable and prepared skipper is a really friendly person, polite and very friendly. I could not have asked for better, really recommended, experience definitely to be repeated. He stands out for the simplicity and confidence with which he performs all the maneuvers as well as for the charisma. It also entertains with the sails, which is not obvious. In short, the TOP!!!!

review about Discovering the Sardinian bays August 2021

10 / 10
Massimo welcomed us with cordiality and kindness, always worrying about the quality of our boat experience first of all. In addition to taking care of us, he did his best to answer all the curiosities about the boat and navigation. Since this is my first experience on a sailing boat, it was essential to have had Massimo as a skipper, experienced and really easy going. Highly recommended.

review about Northern Sardinia and Southern Corsica on an exceptional 47-foot sailboat for 4 privileged people August 2021

10 / 10
Our holiday of almost 2 weeks between South Corsica and North-East of Sardinia was wonderful! Everything could not be better, enchanting places visited, protected bays, every day awakenings in enchanted places and sunsets over shimmering seas, despite it being August. The Soledonna boat is really special with every possible sail imaginable, you will sail even with a thread of wind, a boat not for charter but for racing, with the most comforts to be able to make an extraordinarily comfortable holiday. The last but not the least Antoine and Fides special people, who made us feel at home from the first day, immediately tried to understand our needs and did everything to make us ferns! And they succeeded"! Leaving Soledonna and Antoine and Fides was hard, but we will meet again! I recommend everyone to travel with them, you really feel privileged! Good wind! Seas

review about Maddalena Park and Costa Smeralda in premium catamaran and sailing boat in Flotilla! - WEEK 1 August 2021

8 / 10
Boat: a truly spectacular and comfortable Bali catamaran for 10 people with plenty of space, even if you want to be alone. Massimo the skipper: always quiet, never intrusive, he always facilitated our holiday. Also called aggressive valet parking for positioning at anchor super strategic. :-) Perfect group, but it's a matter of luck. I give only 4 stars for my accommodation in the single bow with entrance from porthole. I thought I would find a bed but it wasn't, only 30cm wide at the feet, I slept very badly. I am of small stature, a man older than me would have had difficulty even to enter. In addition, the single uses the captain's shared bathroom, which I thought was accessible, instead it was right inside his room. At night it was unthinkable to access it and even during the day you seem to invade a private space, so it is almost like not having a bathroom. Overall, it was a major inconvenience. The double cabins were great and comfortable.

review about Sailing vacation through the turquoise blue sea in Sardinia August 2021

10 / 10
On holiday on a sailing boat we were six friends, all couples and we rented the entire boat. The skipper was not Carl but Markus. Markus was kind and helpful, a competent person who knew the sea well and was able to advise us on the itinerary. In the evening we also had fun having parties. The only flaw is that it took more time for this itinerary, in fact in Corsica we only visited Bonifacio since porto Vecchio needed 7 hours of navigation. It was a good experience that I would do again.

review about Reboot in Northern Sardenia July 2021

10 / 10
Massimo is a skipper but above all a travel companion! He cares about the safety of his passengers but also about the overall comfort by putting into practice his skills as a chef, choosing background music for aperitifs at anchor and creating situations of aggregation between the crew members. It meets the demands and needs of travelers. The boat is comfortable, spacious and well maintained. Too bad the weather has reduced the potential of the holiday, but it is a risk to be taken into account when going to sea.

Amazing sailing trip. Alessandro is a great skipper, very experienced. Alessandro and his girlfriend Sara made us feel very comfortable the minute we boarded the boat. It was such a pleasure being in their company for a week. Great local cooking too. I can highly recommend a sailing trip with Alessandro and Sara! You will not regret it.

review about West coast of Sardinia: from Alghero to Cagliari. July 2021

10 / 10
Wonderful week on board. The coast from Alghero to Cagliari offers unforgettable views. Time graced us and allowed us to sleep in the bay in lovely places, such as the island of Mal di Ventre and the bay of Nora. Enrico skipper kind, reliable and nice made us experience the emotion of a navigation partly at night giving us an unforgettable sunrise. Bathing in Sugar Loaf Bay in a cobalt blue sea will remain etched in my mind. Nice company and pleasant chats .. We managed to sail little, given the absence of wind, but this gave us other nice opportunities. Thanks to Enrico and his beautiful boat, the week was perfect and unforgettable

review about Full Charter - North Sardinia and Corsica July 2021

10 / 10
Wonderful experience of relaxation, fun but above all to discover the sea and life on a sailing boat. Massimo and Corinna made us live an unforgettable adventure! Our week aboard the beautiful and comfortable "you and me" has flown by! We think back with nostalgia to this wonderful holiday to discover the sea, the wind and good food! Thanks to their experience they took us to beautiful beaches and breathtaking coves where we could relax with a good book, walk on the islands, visit seaside towns and / or snorkel to discover the wonders of the Mediterranean, or again, have fun with windsurfing and SUP! In short, there is something for everyone! It was great to be able to participate in the maneuvers while sailing and we also had the privilege of seeing beautiful dolphins in their natural habitat! A big thank you it was great to live the sea with you! See you soon Giulia, Nathy, Mattia, Andrea and Giuliano

We had the pleasure of living the real boat life thanks to Jonatan and his partner Vanessa. The skipper is reliable, transmits confidence and knows the Maddalena archipelago and Corsica very well. He gave us some nice surprises that helped make the trip wonderful. Recommended for both couples and small groups of friends!

review about North Sardinia on board an X Yacht 512 - hostess service July 2021

6 / 10
Wonderful landscapes and sea, maximum safety and prudence on board, Daniela, Orio's wife was very kind and courteous. Thanks to his delicious dishes he allowed us to get to know the flavors of Sardinian cuisine. Orio thanks to his important experience and knowledge of sea life has allowed us to better explore these bays and this enchanting sea. A sincere suggestion can be to immediately dedfnire all the technical aspects and management of life on a sailboat, perhaps through short breefing. Denifire therefore from the beginning not only the aspects of life on a sailboat but also, for example, the management of transfers from the port to the airport. This is to avoid misunderstandings, misunderstandings and therefore inconveniences. Overall definitely a positive experience that we suggest to live.

The most beautiful places to discover in Northern Sardinia

It's no secret that Italy is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but a sailing holiday in Northern Sardinia offers some of the most picturesque landscapes in the whole country. Sardinia is surrounded by turquoise, crystal clear waters, and has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, such as the Costa Smeralda, and the stunning natural wonder of the Maddalena Archipelago.

Palau and the Maddalena Archipelago

Palau, in the heart of the archipelago of La Maddalena, is the ideal place to visit the islands of Santo Stefano, Caprera, La Maddalena and Spargi. In the archipelago it is possible to anchor in bays and organise excursions to secluded beaches. Its constant winds mean that this area is perfect for sailing. It is also recommend to go diving at Cala Coticcio in Caprera. There you can continue to Cala Corsara at Spargi, with the famous beaches of Rosa di Budelli and Manto della Madonna.

The Emerald Coast

The Costa Smeralda extends between the Gulf of Arzachena and Cugnana and owes its name to the particular colour of the sea, which contrast against the granite rocks that characterises this exceptional landscape. It is no coincidence that the Costa Smeralda has a particular density of sailing schools, as with the Mistral winds, sailing conditions are ideal. It is also important to remember Porto Cervo, there thanks to its charming beaches, boutiques, and clubs, Porto Cervo has become a renowned location. It is also important to consider that this coastal area is also known for its important archaeological settlements.

The best sailing itineraries for your next holiday with a skipper in Northern Sardinia:

La Maddalena - Palau - Olbia:

if your time in Sardinia is limited to a weekend, we recommend such a route to discover the best beaches on the island.

Caprera Island - Bonifacio - Budelli Island, Razzoli and Santa Marina - Spargi Island - La Maddalena - Portisco:

such a one-week route through the most beautiful places in Northern Sardinia is a more well-rounded itinerary for longer sailing holidays.
