Sardinia's Costa Smeralda is a beautiful stretch of Italian coastline named after the breathtaking emerald colour of its waters. Home to miles of beautiful white sand beaches and charming port towns, it is an oasis of luxury. Enjoy this stunning landscape and explore some of the world's best beaches. Highlights include Tavolara Island, the sand bar and lagoon at La Cinta and shops at Porto Cervo. Sail to Porco, Santo Stefano and Palau before heading to Corsica’s Bonifacio through the La Maddalena archipelago. You’ll see Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli and much more. In the evenings, retire to your comfortable double cabin while our crew takes care of the sailing and meals.

Superior cabin upgrades available.

Boarding your catamaran at our Olbia base, your captain will set sail for ten nautical miles to the protected marine area of Tavolara Island in Punta Spalmatore.

Follow up your breakfast with a swim and visit the beautiful island of Tavolara. Then a short 2-mile navigation to the ‘swimming pools’ of Molara. Take a dip in the stunning turquoise waters. The journey will continue in the direction of La Cinta of San Teodoro, a long and thin stretch of golden sand between the sea and lagoon.
In the afternoon, sail to Ira Bay after Porto Rotondo (approximately 20 miles) where you will anchor in the Gulf of Marinella around 18:30 for dinner and overnight. From there, with the dinghy, reach the port and one of the most important tourist points of Gallura, Porto Cervo.
