Sailing Between Sardinia and Corsica: A Calm and Scenic Mediterranean Escape
This sailing itinerary unfolds across one of the most captivating areas of the western Mediterranean, where northern Sardinia meets the rugged coastline of southern Corsica. The experience is shaped around short passages, sheltered waters, and a smooth daily pace, allowing guests to fully enjoy life on board without feeling rushed.
Navigation is planned to highlight the contrast between granite islands, transparent seas, and quiet anchorages, with time set aside each day for swimming, relaxing on deck, and exploring small coastal villages when conditions allow. Rather than following a fixed route, the cruise evolves naturally, guided by wind, sea conditions, and the skipper’s local knowledge.
The result is a flexible and comfortable sailing week that suits a wide range of travelers, from those new to sailing to guests who appreciate gentle passages and scenic surroundings. The focus remains on simplicity, shared moments on board, and discovering the coastline at a human pace, with safety and enjoyment always taking priority.

The Lavezzi Islands, part of a protected marine reserve south of Corsica, offer a rare combination of easy coastal trekking and outstanding snorkeling. Walking paths cross a surreal landscape shaped by wind and sea, where massive granite boulders, white sand coves, and low Mediterranean vegetation create a wild and untouched atmosphere. The trails are simple and mostly flat, suitable for relaxed exploration and scenic viewpoints.
Several points of interest are found along the route, including natural rock formations and the memorial sites dedicated to the victims of the Semillante shipwreck, adding historical depth to the visit.
In the water, the experience continues with excellent visibility and calm conditions. Snorkeling reveals rocky seabeds, sandy patches, and rich marine life such as sea bream, wrasse, and groupers. The shallow lagoons make it accessible and enjoyable even for less experienced swimmers.
Cultural Exploration of Bonifacio Old Town
Bonifacio offers one of the most striking cultural stops of the itinerary, set dramatically atop white limestone cliffs overlooking the Strait of Bonifacio. The Old Town is accessed from the marina and unfolds through narrow stone alleys, small squares, artisan shops, and historic cafés, preserving a strong medieval character.
The fortified citadel dominates the skyline and provides panoramic views over the harbor and surrounding coastline. A highlight of the visit is the Staircase of the King of Aragon, carved directly into the cliff face and descending toward the sea, offering a unique perspective on the town’s defensive past.
This stop combines history, architecture, and natural scenery, making Bonifacio a balanced cultural contrast to the anchorages and swimming stops of the sailing route.
Travel organizer tips
What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light—but wisely! Need help building the perfect list?

What’s a Typical Day Like on a Yacht Charter?
Start your day with a swim in a quiet bay, sail to hidden beaches or seaside villages, and enjoy a slow lunch on deck. Afternoons mean snorkeling, sunbathing, or exploring ashore. As the sun sets, your boat anchors in a scenic cove or near a harbor—ready for a relaxed dinner and a night under the stars. Curious about the full experience? Discover more in our guide: What’s a typical day like on a sailing holiday?
Who Handles Cooking and Cleaning on a Yacht Charter?
On skipper-only charters, guests usually share cooking and cleaning duties—think salads, pasta, and good teamwork. If there's a hostess, light meals and tidying are included, but it's still a casual, collaborative vibe. On fully crewed yachts, you’ll enjoy full service with a chef and crew managing everything.

What Happens in Case of Bad Weather During a Sailing Holiday?
Summer sailing holidays rarely face major weather issues—but when the sea gets rough, skippers adjust the route for your safety. Expect protected bays, marina stops, or a change in plan. These moments often lead to unexpected gems: local towns to explore, time to relax on board, or cozy dinners ashore. Curious about how crews handle these changes?
