Sailing cruise in Sardinia and Southern Corsica

Embarkation is scheduled at 18.00 at Cannigione Marina, where you will be welcomed by your cruise skipper. After settling into your cabin and attending the weather and safety briefing, if conditions permit, you will depart immediately to spend our first night at anchor in the Maddalena archipelago.

On Sunday morning we will set anchor and with a short sail of a few miles in the Maddalena Channel, we will reach the island of Spargi. We will spend the morning in Cala Corsara, a bay accessible only by boat, where we will stay until lunch. You will be amazed by the colour of the water, which goes from turquoise to emerald green! In the early afternoon we will sail to the island of Budelli, and once we arrive on the southern part of the island we will drop anchor to admire its famous pink beach. The colour is given by the granite rock and micro-organisms. The beach can only be observed from the sea or from the surrounding paths through the maquis. We will spend the night here.

This morning we sail towards Corsica, in the direction of the island of Cavallò, the only inhabited island in the archipelago. To the north-east, its sheltered roadstead from the mistral will be perfect for our morning. We will dedicate the afternoon to sailing to the Rondinara beach. The bay and its natural curve are ideal for a quiet evening, its waters are always calm, protected by the particular conformation of the coastline and characterised by gently sloping seabed. The sand is very fine, the nature magnificent, the waters as crystal clear as in the Caribbean.

Third day of sailing! Today we are heading for Isola Piana, six miles along the south coast of Corsica. This island is a real paradise: very clear sand, shallow water and turquoise colour. We will have lunch in the roadstead and then take advantage of the afternoon to sail to Bonifacio, the most picturesque port in the Mediterranean. We will enter the harbour by crossing its majestic fjord about 1.5 km long to moor and spend the evening in the marina. Dinner free or all together in the town perched over the sea.

Super French breakfast with croissants and pain au chocolat to start the day off right! Last provisions for the galley, and then we set off for the island of Lavezzi, a nature reserve in the middle of the Straits of Bonifacio. A few dips before a good lunch in the roadstead and with a short sail in the afternoon we will reach Santa Manza, a natural cliff in the south-east of Corsica, ideal for spending the night.

After an invigorating dive and a hearty breakfast on board, we will head for Santa Giulia, with its lagoon and natural pools of turquoise water, a bay with granite rocks that give the beach an extremely wild appearance. We will spend a day relaxing in the roadstead and on the beach until late afternoon. We will then move on before dinner to Porto Nuovo for the night.

Last day of navigation, to return to the Maddalena archipelago, crossing the Straits of Bonifacio. We will sail towards cala Portese, then passing by cala Coticcio. We will arrive in the early afternoon, set anchor and spend the last hours of the week here until our return to Cannigione. In the evening, you will be able to enjoy local specialities, choosing to dine with the crew in one of the area's agritourisms, a culinary experience to end on a high note and add another memory to this magnificent cruise.

Disembarkation is scheduled in the morning by 08:30.
