A slow day moving between some of the most beautiful islands in the archipelago. Expect turquoise water, quiet beaches (and a legendary pink beach!), and plenty of time at anchor before spending the night nearby.

We cross the strait to Corsica and sail into Bonifacio, entering the marina beneath dramatic limestone cliffs. The afternoon and evening are free to explore the old town and enjoy dinner ashore.

After leaving Corsica, we sail back to Sardinia and continue to Santa Teresa Gallura. A relaxed sail followed by time ashore in this lively coastal town or a quiet evening on board.

A short sail back to Portisco Marina. The afternoon is reserved for a final swim, packing, and a relaxed last evening together on board.

Meet Your Host
Hi, I’m Ava! I'm a travel filmmaker, photographer, and your host for this unforgettable sailing experience.
I’ve built my life around exploring the world slowly. Chasing light, remote coastlines, and the kind of moments you don’t find in guidebooks.
Together with Axel, our skipper, I’ve curated this week to blend sailing, island exploration, cinematic locations, and space to truly disconnect from everyday life and experience Italy at its best.
Who's behind the wheel?
I’m Axel, a Finnish skipper who lives most of the year at sea.
I run these trips so more people can experience what sailing actually feels like – not on a cruise ship, but on a real sailboat with a small crew.
Every trip is:
– Professionally skippered
– Safety-focused
You don’t need any sailing background. Just a sense of curiosity and a willingness to share a boat with strangers who probably won’t stay strangers for long.
