From Sardinia to Corsica – gentle lagoons and wild landscapes

Sailing area:
Between Sardinia and Corsica lies one of the most beautiful and varied sailing areas in the Mediterranean. Turquoise bays, rugged granite cliffs, small fishing villages, elegant harbour towns and between them the Strait of Bonifacio — a sea area equally renowned and scenically unique.
Sardinia's northeast coast with the Maddalena Archipelago is one of Italy's most spectacular sailing areas. Countless small islands, bizarre rock formations and water colours that recall the Caribbean or the South Pacific rather than the Mediterranean.
Further north awaits Corsica: rougher, more unspoilt, wilder and incredibly impressive. The entrance to Bonifacio with its white chalk cliffs is definitely one of the most striking harbour approaches in the world, and at the end baroque, lively Bastia awaits us with its picturesque harbour.
Voyage:
We start in Olbia and, after provisioning, set off towards the Maddalena Archipelago. There we spend — depending on wind and weather — the first days among small islands, sheltered bays and crystal-clear water. Caprera, Budelli, Spargi or Santa Maria: each island has its own character and everywhere spectacular anchorages await.
In the Strait of Bonifacio we must pay some attention to the wind, which sometimes whistles through this funnel, and then sail through one of the world's most spectacular harbour entrances into the harbour of the same name.
The next highlight are the Lavezzi Islands. Navigation here requires care and good observation. Yet on the way north there is scarcely anything more beautiful to discover. Time seems to stand still here among the turquoise lagoons.
Afterwards we continue sailing northwards along Corsica's wild east coast. Less touristy, more unspoilt and often with excellent sailing conditions. The harbour towns of Porto-Vecchio, Solenzara and Port de Taverna offer shelter along this stretch.
The destination of our voyage is finally Bastia with its impressive harbour in northern Corsica.
