Sailing Sardinia and Corsica!
September 21 - 28, 2024 $1,395
Two distinct, semi-autonomous cultures. Sardinia is part of Italy, but with some Spanish history; Corsica, part of France, but the Italian influence is in everything from its food to its Tuscan dialect. Sardinia is also a "blue zone", home to some of the longest-living people on earth. Perhaps it's the mediterranean diet or the strength of community, but locals claim it's their famous red wine, Cannonau (Cabernet Franc)!
We will spend much of our time exploring the undeveloped and protected islands of the La Maddalena National Park, exploring coves (calas) with hidden beaches and grottoes. These are perhaps the most beautiful beaches in Europe, with names like Pink Beach and Tahiti Beach. We'll also visit amazing villages like Santa Teresa di Gallura (home to the highest-rated Vermentino wine), and the clifftop Bonifacio.
"The La Maddalena archipelago is a paradise for nature lovers, beach goers, history buffs, and adventure seekers. It is a place that will enchant you with its beauty and charm."
Corsica and Sardinia are only eight miles apart. Sailing between them enables us to easily experience both.

Getting There:
The best airfares from the U.S. are typically found by finding a good fare to somewhere in Europe, preferably a city where you may want to layover, then connecting to Olbia (OLB), near where we'll board the yacht. There are also ferries from Italy to Olbia, many overnight with private or shared cabins, a great way to save time and a hotel night. I'll post updates on airfares here.
