Sailing cruise: Southern Sardinia and Carloforte

You can embark on Saturday afternoon from 18.00 at the Marina del Sole in Cagliari (10 minutes by taxi from the airport and the ferry terminal) where upon your arrival you will not have to think about buying food and drinks that you will find already stowed: your holiday begins from the moment of your boarding. Depending on the time of your arrival, you can leave your bags on the boat and reach the Poetto beach to dive into the blue of the sea, or dedicate yourself to a visit to the fantastic city of Cagliari. In the evening, after taking your seat in your cabin, you will have the opportunity to get to know the crew better during dinner in one of the many restaurants in Cagliari, before ending the evening in one of the many bars in the Sardinian city.

On Sunday morning after breakfast on board, the moorings will be left by the embarkation marina, ready to hoist the sails to head west. After a couple of hours of sailing along the coast we will reach the bay of Capo di Pula. And just below the Spanish tower we will drop anchor. Here we'll manage to get our first swim of the week. Then, lunch on board. The afternoon starts again with a couple of hours of sailing along the coast, parading the beach of Chia, rounding Capo Spartivento with its magnificent lighthouse, and here we will find a cove with strong colors: shades of blue, clear water and a beach with white sand, complete with a bar for the evening aperitif. Depending on the wind, we can choose to anchor in Porto Malfatano or on the island of Tuaredda.

Today we may decide to reach the island of San Pietro. So we will briefly see Capo Sperone, the Island of Sant Antioco, and go on to reach Capo Colonna, the bay south of San Pietro where we will immerse ourselves in a bath of clear and blue waters before lunch. In the afternoon, after a good upwind sailing, we will enter the small port of Carloforte, a characteristic town on the island that is worth a visit. Dinner will be in a local "trattoria" to taste the typical cuisine of the island with Sardinian and Genoese flavors, given that the origins of its inhabitants are Genoese, as well as the dialect spoken here.

We’re already on Tuesday, with a nice breakfast, and then we'll continue sailing further West. We also some options for anchoring here: Piscinni, the Red Island, or Porto Zafferano. We will pass Capo Teulada and we may decide to stop in Porto Pino. Of course, the choice of berth is always bound by the direction of the wind.

On Wednesday morning, after a rich breakfast on board, we'll free the moorings and head for Cagliari. Of course, this day we are going to anchor in the bays that we have not yet chosen. So you will have the opportunity to see many of the numerous bays that this stretch of South West coast of Sardinia offers to sailing enthusiasts.

We set sail early to return east heading for Cagliari, and drop anchor in one of the numerous bays that dot southern Sardinia. Here crystal clear waters and sandy bottoms await you, where you can enjoy many wonderful  and astonishing landscapes ...

On the last day of your sailing holiday, you will enjoy a good visit to Capo di Pula, where we will stop for the last lunch on board, and the last baths in the Sardinian sea aswell. And for those who wish, there's the opportunity of visiting the well-preserved remains of the Punic town, Roman Phoenician of Nora. Remains that drop below sea level, testimony to the rising water level. In the afternoon, we'll resume navigation to reach the Marina in Cagliari. In the evening, last dinner on board with lots of exchanges of email addresses and phone numbers.

Disembarkation is scheduled at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
