From Olbia to Cagliari (Sardinia east coast)

This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

At the end of October, Sardinia's east coast shows itself at its most pristine. The summer visitors have long since departed, the harbours become quieter and the mild temperatures often provide ideal conditions for sailing. This week-long trip covers around 175 nautical miles from Olbia to Cagliari along one of the Mediterranean's most impressive coastlines.

After departing Olbia, the first leg leads to La Caletta. The sheltered harbour is an ideal starting point for the voyage along the east coast and offers an opportunity to prepare for the days ahead.

Further south begins the spectacular Golfo di Orosei. Towering limestone cliffs, the deep blue sea and the famous bays of Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu and Cala Goloritzé characterise this unique stretch of coast. Even at the end of October, the landscape impresses with its tranquillity and unspoilt nature.

The next harbour is Santa Maria Navarrese. The small, sheltered marina is an excellent stopover before the longest passage of the week follows.

From here you sail along Sardinia's largely untouched southeast coast. There are no marinas on this section, but numerous anchorages that can be used for a break or even an overnight stay depending on the weather. The destination is Villasimius with the marine reserve around Capo Carbonara – one of the island's most beautiful coastal sections.

The final leg leads to Cagliari. The capital of Sardinia welcomes you with its historic old town, the imposing Bastione di Saint Remy and a marina in the immediate vicinity of the centre. An atmospheric conclusion to a varied sailing week.

You sail with a maximum of 3 other participants on a Beneteau Oceanis 43 built 2007 (owner's yacht) with German safety certificate for worldwide cruising, comfortably equipped with watermaker, solar panels, electric winches, Starlink and much more. The owner and skipper has over 50,000 nautical miles of experience, 99% on cabin charters and sail training trips.

If you book a cabin for two or for yourself alone, there is a 75% surcharge on the stated price.
