Sailingholiday Sardinia and Corsica

A beautiful Mediterranean sailing trip between Sardinia and Corsica. We are hopping from one island to another. A nice balance between sailing and visits, hikes on land. Enjoy the surroundings and the exquisit cuisine and board. Welcome on board the Sir Robert Baden Powell.

day 1

You come on board in the port of Palau, a small village north of Olbia.. You will be welcomed with a glass of champagne. After a tour of the ship and an introduction to the crew and other guests, we have our first dinner on board. We end the day with an evening walk in the harbor.

day 2

Early in the morning we raise the anchor and sail through the famous street of Bonifacio. We anchor at Isla Lavezzi. The island offers the best snorkeling & diving spots in the region. Maybe we will do an island tour with swimming and sunbathing. Enjoy the white sandy beach with a beautiful view of the coast of Corsica and Sardinia and the various archipelagos. In the afternoon we visit the golf of Sant Amanza on the southeastern tip of Corsica. In the picturesque beach bar we enjoy the refreshing local Pietra beer, really Corsican.

day 3

Maybe we do a beach walk or go for a swim. After, we head for the east coast, Porto Vecchio. Cork oaks, pines and many bays lie along the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio. It is therefore a popular holiday destination.

day 4

In the morning you have the opportunity to visit Porto Vecchio. Located 100 meters on the plateau and with Genoese fortifications, colorful alleys, medieval squares. It is a lively town. We sail south to the Iles Cerbicales, a small archipelago with crystal clear water, ideal for snorkeling and diving. We drop the anchor and enjoy the impressive mountain silhouettes of the Corsican mountain ranges during the evening.

day 5

In the Strait of Bonifacio there is the best wind and that is why we make some great sailing manueuvres between Corsica and Sardinia. Perhaps we de a stop at the southern point before we see the bizarre rock formations of the clear limestone in front of the harbor entrance. Towards evening we enter the fjord-like natural harbor Bonifacio and enjoy the evening walk in the most picturesque city of Corsica.

day 6

Bonifacio, built high on the narrow rugged limestone rock, is the most imposing city in Corsica. The southernmost city of Corsica fascinates with its unique location. It lies on a 1.5 km long and 150 wide peninsula of which the limestone walls fall 60 meters straight into the sea. It is definitely worth a visit. Only the passage from the lower city over the wide staircase to the top is rewarded with a gigantic view of the steeply descending limestone coast. The narrow streets and narrow houses preserve the atmosphere of the Genovese Middle Ages in a unique way. After lunch we leave Corsica and return to Sardinia. We sail into the beautiful bays of Porto Liscia or Porto Puddo, where we sit in the trendy beach bar or take a beautiful beach walk.

day 7

Today we continue on the Costa Smeralada to the Capo d'Orso, the famous `Bear Rock '. The eroded granite stones are reminiscent of a huge polar bear. There we walk up and enjoy the beautiful view over the entire Maddalena archipelago. Maybe we make a detour to Maddalena or drop anchor in one of the beautiful bays.

day 8

In the morning we enjoy the beautiful water - directly from the ship - and after lunch we sail comfortably to Palau, where we anchor in the bay Mezzo Schiffo. That is where our journey comes to an end and we say goodbye to each other. Check out is at 4 pm.
