Day 1 — Saturday — boarding
The adventure begins at 5:00 PM at the Marina dell'Isola in Golfo Aranci, amid smiles, initial introductions, and the excitement of climbing aboard and discovering the boat.
After settling into our cabins and organizing our first provisions, we'll have a short safety briefing to familiarize ourselves with the vessel and prepare for the week of sailing.
The evening will continue with our first aperitif together, a relaxing chat by the sea, and dinner on board to really get to know each other before departure.
Day 2 — Sunday — Caprera
We'll set sail early in the morning, with the sun shining on the sea and the sails hoisted shortly after leaving the harbor. Before departure, we'll give a brief introduction to the sails and the main maneuvers, so everyone can familiarize themselves with the boat and actively participate in the navigation.
Our route will take us north, towards Caprera and its pristine bays. For lunch, we'll stop near Cala Coticcio, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and the bay's spectacular colors.
In the afternoon, we'll reach the port of Giardinelli on the island of La Maddalena, where we'll have time to explore the beautiful nearby beaches and share an aperitif together.
The day will end with a relaxed evening on board, filled with conversation, laughter, and unforgettable sunsets.
Day 3 — Monday — Budelli
In the morning, we'll set sail for one of the wonders of the Mediterranean: the island of Budelli. Before reaching the Piscine Naturali, we'll stop to admire the famous Pink Beach, renowned not only for its extraordinary colors but also for the story of its custodian, who has become a symbol of the protection of the Maddalena Archipelago National Park.
We'll then continue to the Natural Pools of Budelli, where our first swim of the day awaits us in crystal-clear waters, followed by lunch surrounded by a dreamlike setting.
In the afternoon, we'll sail to the French island of Lavezzi, a true granite paradise surrounded by the deep blue sea. Here, we'll take an easy stroll to Cala du Chiesa, one of the island's most picturesque viewpoints, perfect for toasting together while watching the sunset.
Day 4 — Tuesday — Bonifacio
With sails unfurled and likely a close-hauled course ahead of us, we'll set sail for Bonifacio, entering its majestic natural fjord until we reach the port at the foot of the spectacular white cliffs of southern Corsica. The contrast between the intense blue of the sea and the ancient stone walls creates an unforgettable scene.
Once ashore, you'll have time to explore the historic center: the famous King of Aragon's Staircase, the narrow streets between bastions and flower-filled squares, and the splendid Church of Santa Maria Maggiore overlooking the sea.
The evening will continue with a panoramic aperitif and dinner in a traditional Corsican tavern, before enjoying the lively atmosphere of Bonifacio's bars and nightlife.
Day 5 — Wednesday — Rondinara
We'll initially sail along the Corsican coast to the southeast, enjoying the wind and sea before heading to Rondinara, a true natural jewel: turquoise water and a spectacular bay sheltering unforgettable beaches, perfect for a swim and lunch on board or right on the sand.
In the afternoon, we'll continue to Sant'Amanza beach, where we'll drop anchor together. As evening falls, the atmosphere becomes magical: music, laughter, and dancing under the stars, with the sea reflecting the night lights.
Day 6 — Thursday — Isola Piana and Spargi
A new day, a new voyage: we'll set sail for Isola Piana, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and breathtaking views suspended between Sardinia and Corsica.
Here the sea continually changes color, going from turquoise to deep blue, creating the perfect setting for swimming, relaxing, and diving directly from the boat.
In the afternoon, we'll return to Italy, reaching the splendid island of Spargi, one of the pearls of the Maddalena Archipelago. Among white beaches, wind-sculpted rocks, and hidden coves like the famous Cala dell'Amore, we'll enjoy our last swims of the day until sunset.
Day 7 — Friday — Return to Golfo Aranci
For our final day, we'll return to the splendid bays of Caprera, bringing this week's sailing to a close, amidst wind, sea, and unforgettable landscapes.
It will be the perfect time for a final swim in the crystal-clear waters and a few more hours of relaxation immersed in the colors of the Maddalena Archipelago.
In the afternoon, we'll slowly leave Caprera and head back to Golfo Aranci, arriving at Marina dell'Isola at 5:00 PM. The final miles will be accompanied by the wind, the sea, and that special feeling that arises spontaneously after a week spent sailing together.
Day 8 — Saturday — Disembarkation
Disembarkation is scheduled for the morning at the Marina dell'Isola di Golfo Aranci. Since the boat returns to port the evening before, those who wish can also arrange flights departing on Friday night or early Saturday morning.
