Your sailing trip
A week sailing through the Costa Smeralda and the Bonifacio Strait, exploring hidden coves, turquoise bays and the islands of La Maddalena on a comfortable crewed catamaran.
Sail the Costa Smeralda on a seven night itinerary that follows the most scenic routes between Sardinia and southern Corsica. This cruise is designed for travellers who want quiet bays, clear water, gentle sailing and time to discover the islands of La Maddalena, Budelli, Spargi and Razzoli, together with the dramatic cliffs and old town of Bonifacio. The pace is relaxed and focuses on short sailing legs, long swimming stops and evenings spent at anchor in sheltered coves.
Each day includes a mix of coastal navigation, island hopping and time ashore in places like Tavolara, Molara or the panoramic viewpoints of Caprera. Depending on weather, especially the mistral, the captain may choose the best route toward the Lavezzi Islands, Cavallo or Santa Teresa, all known for shallow turquoise water and unique snorkeling spots. Meals on board follow the half board formula with fresh breakfasts and lunches prepared daily by the crew, while two evenings are free for guests to enjoy local restaurants on land.
The catamaran offers privacy and comfort, with a professional crew managing the itinerary, meals and safety during the entire journey. This sailing route is ideal for couples, friends and families looking for a week combining nature, sea time and some of the most iconic anchorages of the Mediterranean. The exact sequence of stops may change depending on weather, but the overall experience remains the same: a discovery of the Costa Smeralda and the Bonifacio Strait from the water, with quiet nights at anchor and clear bays for swimming every day.

Travel activities
Kayaking Between the Granite Formations of Lavezzi Islands
Paddle your way through the wild, uninhabited beauty of the Lavezzi Islands, part of the Corsican Archipelago. This kayaking experience takes you through a maze of granite boulders shaped by centuries of wind and sea. Quiet inlets and shallow bays offer a calm environment to explore at your own pace, while submerged rock pools provide glimpses of marine life below. It’s a scenic, eco-friendly alternative to motor excursions—ideal for photography lovers and those seeking a peaceful connection with nature. Kayaks are usually available on board the catamaran, and this activity is perfect during your Lavezzi anchorage, especially on calm mornings or late afternoons.
Sea Cave Exploration at Capo Pertusato
Just south of Bonifacio, the towering limestone cliffs of Capo Pertusato conceal spectacular sea caves accessible only by small boat or kayak. Sail close to the cliffs to discover these natural formations, where centuries of wave action have sculpted passages, arches, and caverns in the white rock. The ever-changing play of light on the water and walls creates an almost otherworldly experience, ideal for quiet swimming, snorkeling, or cave photography. This hidden gem of southern Corsica offers a unique chance to explore a raw, untouched side of the coastline—far from crowded beaches or ports.
Visit to Tavolara Island and Its Marine Protected Area
Tavolara Island rises dramatically from the Tyrrhenian Sea with its towering limestone cliffs and striking profile—an iconic sight in northeastern Sardinia. Drop anchor in one of the bays surrounding this protected marine area to enjoy swimming and paddleboarding in crystal-clear waters teeming with fish and sea grass. For those seeking a touch of adventure, short trails from the shoreline lead up to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Gulf of Olbia and beyond. Whether you choose to relax onboard, snorkel near the rocks, or go ashore for a light hike, Tavolara offers one of the most scenic and peaceful stops of your catamaran cruise.
Travel organizer tips
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? Read our full guide: What to pack in a suitcase for 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?
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. Want to know what’s included in your setup? Read the full guide: Who takes care of cooking and cleaning on a sailing charter?
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?
