One of the best ways to fully enjoy the Mediterranean coast is by boat. Worth a visit for their jaw-dropping scenery alone, our sailing boat will take you away to these fabled coastlines. Each day offers opportunities to sail and explore seaside cliffs and secluded beaches that seem untouched by time or tourists. Nothing better than spending a week cruising from Corsica to Sardinia and stopping along the way to do invigorating hikes inland or why not rock-climbing the magnificent Sardinian rock-walls.
Sail from the natural harbor of the cliff-perched town of Bonifacio, the southern end of Corsica - to Arbatax in the Orosei Gulf in the eastern coast of Sardinia. You can choose between traveling on a fishing boat or on an époque sailing boat. The choice is yours. With both boats we will cover the same areas, hike in Sardinia, an island-world with its own language, a colorful pageant of traditions, and a cuisine borne of the richness of the sea. Dramatic cliffs, fascinating prehistoric sites, a wild interior roamed by shepherds, and churches where Christianity and paganism blend are part of Sardinia's fabulous mystique.
Rock-climbing: A great combo for those who enjoy sports and the sea, the rock walls of the Orosei Gulf and a sailing boat that will take us to all the best rock-climbing sites - from Cala Gonone to the Guglia di Goloritzè, from Biddiriscottai to Giradili, from Santa Maria Navarrese to Cala Luna, and many other climbing sites.
We stop every day in a different place, where there is a rock wall on the sea equipped for climbing, with difficulties to satisfy everybody - from 5.9 to 5.14 and from a single pitch to long routes.
