This experience, in a nutshell

We will sail from a fantastic base, equipped with a beach and swimming platform, which is called Cala dei Sardi , near portisco, in the heart of the Costa Smeralda .

When we set sail, we will have the first bay in 20 minutes, and we will explore all the islands of the Costa Smeralda, with the possible approach of Southern Corsica , if the sea permits. ;)

The boats always sail together, we are already many on board, and on Monday evening we booked the port on the island of La Maddalena , and a dinner all together at the La Perla restaurant, above the ancient pier in the heart of the village.

The blue lagoon located in the center of the 3 islands of Santa Maria, Razzoli and Budelli will also be one of our destinations, and the navigation plan, already organized, will be optimized every day to let us experience the best beaches with calm sea and sea. blue water.
Sardinia is the TOP for all of us, sailors and sea lovers. I am at your disposal for any info.

A memorable holiday, shared with special people and sea lovers. We saw beautiful corners, alternating evenings in port and at anchor. The organizer, the best!

The experience overall was very nice. Experiencing the sea directly from the boat offers a completely different perspective than the one you have from the mainland because the scenarios, the landscapes and the very way of experiencing the sea are really another experience and certainly represent the strength of the trip. However, there are some aspects of the flotilla organization that, in my opinion, could be improved. If the spirit of the flotilla is to get together, create a group and allow people from the different boats to get to know each other, I found it limiting that only one dinner was organized all together during the whole week. Another aspect concerns the management of travel. Often general times were communicated for the movement of boats from one location to another, but these times were not respected. This made it more difficult to organize the interior of the boat. An episode that I found particularly inconsistent with the indications received concerns the arrival of the first day. We have been emphasized on several occasions the need to arrive by a certain time, to the point that some people have bought a new plane ticket to be able to comply with this indication. Once we arrived, however, we stayed for several hours at the port, under the sun, waiting for the first meeting, which took place much later than the indicated time (+3h). A point that I think is also important to point out is that relating to the collaboration required of the people on board. At the time of booking, it was not, at least as far as I was concerned, sufficiently clear that, in the absence of a coskipper, specific cooperation would be required from the people on the boat. It is information that I believe is important to communicate explicitly already in the booking phase, so as to allow everyone to understand the type of holiday. Finally, two meetings were organized during the week that I personally found not very useful and rather uncomfortable. We stayed for about an hour crammed under a tent, on a lawn and with a temperature of about 33 degrees. Probably more comfortable ways and places could be found and, above all, make these moments shorter and more engaging. In conclusion, I still consider the trip a very positive experience, especially for the possibility of experiencing the sea and the people with whom you share the boat. The critical issues I have highlighted mainly concern organization and communication and, precisely for this reason, I think they are aspects that can be easily improved and that could make the experience even more pleasant for future participants.

total inadequacy of the skipper who led our holiday. In addition to not having demonstrated the necessary skills to handle the boat safely, his attitude was never reassuring, fueling stress on board instead of tranquility. His approximation unfortunately caused an accident in which I reported, fortunately, only bruises (it went well) . Safety at sea is a top priority and on this holiday it was lacking because of those who were supposed to protect us. The head skipper Claudio, on the other hand, made himself available to make us feel more "protected". The program of the trip was very nice; Maybe getting to know the crew before departure would have been ideal (with the creation of a WhatsApp group) but overall, apart from the skipper, a nice holiday. Our boat was smaller than the other two that sailed with us.

I spent an unforgettable week in Northern Sardinia, exploring La Maddalena and the Costa Smeralda, and I can't help but thank the organizers and skippers from the bottom of my heart. The kindness and helpfulness of the whole team were exceptional. From planning to execution, every detail has been professionally taken care of. Whenever a problem arose, the staff were able to resolve it promptly, ensuring that our experience was always enjoyable and smooth. The people we met along the trip were just lovely, making this trip not only an opportunity to explore beautiful places, but also to make meaningful connections. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover the beauties of Sardinia in the company of such an amazing team. Thanks again for everything! 💙
