Reaching Sardinia:

Reaching Sardinia is a breeze, thanks to regular flights offered by airlines to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport. Alternatively, you can opt for a scenic ferry ride from mainland Italy directly to the charming harbor of Olbia. From here, your sailing journey begins, and you have the freedom to choose from several picturesque harbors, each offering its own unique charm and serving as a perfect launching point to explore the wonders of Sardinia and Corsica.

Setting Sail:

As I stepped aboard our sailboat, the warm smile of Captain Andrea welcomed me to a world of boundless possibilities. With his vast knowledge of the region and infectious passion for sailing, I knew we were in good hands. Captain Andrea's expert guidance and love for the sea set the stage for an extraordinary voyage through the Mediterranean waves.
