Day 1 — Arrival in Sardinia & Welcome Aboard

Meet at Portisco Marina, settle into your cabin, and enjoy a welcome drink with the group. We’ll spend the night in the marina and head out in the morning.

Day 2 — La Maddalena Island

We’ll sail north into the La Maddalena Archipelago, anchoring in clear, shallow bays. The day is spent swimming, relaxing on deck, and settling into the rhythm of life at sea.

Day 3 — Exploring the Islands of Spargi and Budelli

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.

Day 4 — Sail to Bonifacio in Corsica, France

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.

Day 5 — Sail to Santa Teresa Gallura

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.

Day 6 — Exploring Porto Cervo Area

We spend the day along the Costa Smeralda, anchoring near iconic beaches and calm bays around Porto Cervo. Swimming, sun, and a final evening at anchor to enjoy the surroundings.

Day 7 — Return to Portiscio

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

Day 8 - Goodbyes

After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye and head home, taking with you a week of sailing, sea air, and shared moments.

What You Will Get

This sailing trip is built around simplicity, space, and some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean.

We’ll explore northern Sardinia and the La Maddalena Archipelago, a protected area of granite islands, shallow bays, and quiet anchorages. Sailing days are short and unrushed, leaving time for swimming, relaxed lunches on board, and long afternoons at anchor.

Midweek, we cross to Corsica and arrive in Bonifacio, a dramatic cliffside town overlooking the strait. It’s a natural pause in the journey before returning south and easing into the slower rhythm of Sardinia’s coastline.

Later in the week, we spend time near the Costa Smeralda, anchoring in calm bays close to iconic beaches, with our final nights focused on enjoying the boat, the water, and the pace of life at sea.

No sailing experience is required. You’re welcome to take part in sailing or simply relax and enjoy the journey. This trip is about moving thoughtfully, staying present, and experiencing Sardinia as it’s meant to be seen, from the water.

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.
