Velasquez flotilla of 3 boats in Sardinia

A week's holiday on a sailing boat in the flotilla , in the funniest area of Sardinia

Flotilla Velasquez UP - Express your energy with many other friends who love the sea and fun like you - we will sail among the islands of northern Sardinia, and you will sleep at anchor with aperitifs at sunset and having boat parties, going down in the beaches with the tender and landing in one or two ports for visits and dinner on land.

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

We will sail with the breeze typical of the area and we will explore all the islands of the Costa Smeralda and the archipelago of La Maddalena , with a possible approach to landing in Southern Corsica , if the sea allows it. ;)

The boats always sail together, there will be many of us on board, and mooring is foreseen in the port of the island of La Maddalena with a dinner all together at the La Perla restaurant, above the ancient pier in the heart of the village.

Even the blue lagoon located in the center of the 3 islands of Santa Maria, Razzoli and Budelli will be one of our destinations, and the navigation plan, already organized, will be optimized every day to let us experience the best beaches with the calm sea and the blue water.
Sardinia on this is the TOP for all of us, sailors and sea lovers.
