Skippered 7-Day Sailing Adventure – Cala dei Sardi, Santa Maria, Rondinara, Isola Piana, Bonifacio, Lavezzi, La Maddalena, Sardinia & Corsica

Experience a captivating blend of island serenity and coastal vibrancy aboard a week-long skippered sailing charter from Cala dei Sardi, Italy. Navigating through the iconic La Maddalena Archipelago and into the treasured coasts of Corsica, this itinerary immerses you in one of the most spectacular corners of the Mediterranean. Aboard the high-performance Bavaria Cruiser 41, guests will explore a dynamic route filled with emerald coves, breathtaking geological wonders, and timeless cultural gems. Each day offers something new-from quiet anchorages beneath the stars to lively marina towns with gourmet delights and historical intrigue.

Setting sail from the well-appointed Cala dei Sardi marina at 18:00, the charter begins with a comfortable cruise to the peaceful shores of Santa Maria. This serene gem of the La Maddalena Archipelago is known for its glowing turquoise waters and white sandy stretches surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation. After a relaxing swim and sunset views, guests enjoy their first night anchored under the stars.

Day 2: The yacht glides north across the strait toward Corsica’s Rondinara Bay, a sweeping crescent of fine sand cradled by lush promontories. The beach here is ideal for sunbathing, while calm waters invite snorkeling and refreshing dips. Savor a French-style breakfast onshore with fresh croissants and local treats before settling in for a restful night at anchor.

Day 3: Your journey continues with a visit to Isola Piana, famous for its narrow sandbar connecting to Punta Sperone. Guests can walk along this submerged path while surrounded by tranquil, transparent waters. The setting is perfect for paddleboarding, swimming, or simply soaking up the untouched surroundings in total peace.

Day 4: A short sail brings the yacht to Bonifacio, Corsica’s southern jewel. Entering the town’s narrow fjord-like harbor flanked by towering limestone cliffs is an unforgettable experience. On land, wander through the ancient streets of the citadel, enjoy panoramic views of the Strait of Bonifacio, and dine at charming creperies and wine bars along the marina.

Day 5: A mid-morning departure takes you to the Lavezzi Islands, a protected nature reserve known for its dramatic granite landscapes and hidden beaches. Dive into the crystalline water for a snorkeling session among boulders and coral reefs or explore historical wreck sites from the 1855 Sémillante disaster.

Day 6: Sail to La Maddalena, the largest and liveliest island of the archipelago. The island’s character-rich streets, Italian boutiques, and inviting trattorias make for a colorful contrast to the wild nature visited earlier in the week. Spend your final evening shopping, dining, and soaking up the island ambiance, either moored at the port or anchored in a quiet bay.

Day 7: On the last morning, the yacht sails gracefully through the archipelago back to Cala dei Sardi. Guests can enjoy breakfast on deck, reminiscing about the week’s adventures before disembarking at 08:00.
