Maddalena archipelago, Sardinia and Corsica: sailing cruise

Boarding available from 17:00 on Saturday afternoon to take your place in the 4 spacious cabins with private bathrooms. After the galley, the skipper's safety briefing on the operation of the boat's equipment, the management of life on board and the itinerary, you will have a free evening to visit Cannigione.

You cast off your moorings and sail north heading for the first island in the Maddalena National Park: Caprera. Right from the start you will be enchanted by the beauty of the Sardinian coastline, lush and flowery, bathed by a sea of a thousand shades of blue. We will anchor in cala Coticcio or cala Napoletana, where we will take our first swim of the week. After a nice lunch and enjoying the peace and quiet of the sea and the place, we will sail again this time to the island of La Maddalena where we will spend the night in one of its well-protected bays enjoying the starry sky.

After a hearty breakfast we will set sail for a short sail through the infamous Straits of Bonifacio heading towards Corsica and the island of Cavallo where we will enjoy its beauty while taking unforgettable baths in a unique natural setting. In the afternoon we will sail to Rondinara or Santa Maria (Southern Corsica) and there we will spend the night at anchor a few dozen metres from the beach.

After a final dip in the crystal-clear waters and a relaxing lunch on board, in the early afternoon we will use the tender for a shore excursion to Lavezzi, an island that is part of the protected nature park Bocche di Bonifacio. In the late afternoon we will sail to the harbour of Bonifacio to visit this beautiful location with its lively harbour and medieval town on the cliffs. The fjord at the entrance to the harbour with its 70-metre-plus high cliffs is breathtaking. On the coast there are small, quiet beaches such as Piccolo Sperone, Palombaggia and Santa Giulia. From the top of the walls you can enjoy the unforgettable spectacle of the sun setting in the turquoise waters of the Bocche di Bonifacio. Here, in the marina of Bonifacio, we will spend the night.

We cast off our moorings for a day of exciting sailing in the famous arm of the sea that separates Sardinia from Corsica, returning to Lavezzi for a swim in another of its enchanting bays. If the weather permits in the afternoon we will move to the Piantarella beach on the Piana island to spend the night.

Today we sail back to the islands of the park: Spargi and its beautiful Cala Corsara. Here, crystal-clear waters and sandy seabed await you, where you can moor up to go ashore and stroll along the large white beach. With the will of Aeolus we will then spend one more night at anchor in Razzoli or Budelli.

When we wake up, we will stop at anchor in Budelli or Santa Maria. Here, after the ritual bathing and lunch on board, we will sail to Cannigione where we will spend the night in port and where we will end our week with a dinner ashore all together.

Disembarkation will be scheduled in the morning by 09:00.
