Everything about your sailing trip to Sardinia

If you are looking for turquoise blue water, wild rock formations and a real sailing feeling, a trip from Sardinia is exactly what you are looking for. Here you can find out what makes this trip so special and what highlights await you along the way.

Sardinia sailing trip: Caribbean feeling in Europe

Welcome to the Costa Smeralda! Our sailing trip from Olbia (or Alghero) takes you to one of the most beautiful areas of the Mediterranean. We sail northwards into the La Maddalena archipelago, a nature reserve of breathtaking beauty. The water here shimmers in all shades of blue and turquoise, framed by granite rocks sculpted by the wind. An absolute highlight is the jump over to Corsica (France). Crossing the Strait of Bonifacio offers a real sailing feeling, as the wind often picks up here (Maestral). But don't worry: there are countless sheltered bays for anchoring and relaxing.

The most beautiful highlights between two islands

The cruise offers a unique blend of Italian "dolce vita" and French flair. In Bonifacio on Corsica, we moor in a spectacular natural harbor surrounded by high chalk cliffs – an unforgettable sight! On the way back, we visit the Lavezzi Islands, which are reminiscent of the Seychelles with their round rocks. In Sardinia, the luxury yachts of Porto Cervo and the secluded bays of Spargi and Caprera await you. In the evening, we enjoy pizza, pasta and wine in the restaurants of La Maddalena or Palau.
