During the week we will be sailing around the 7 islands (Maddalena, Caprera, Spargi, Santo Stefano, Budelli, Rizzoli, Santa Maria) and several little ‘isolotti’ that make up the Archipelago. We will be looking for the quietest spots, most idillic beaches and bluest waters.

Our itinerary is flexible: we like following the wind and see where it takes us, as sometimes planning when sailing just doesn’t work. There might be very little wind, or too much wind, the sea might be too choppy or too cold to swim in. We cannot control the weather, so we choose to give in to spontaneity and the good old yoga adage of ‘letting go’.

We discuss the day’s itinerary with our skipper in the morning, aiming to get to these beautiful spots during the course of the week:

Cala Coticcio, also called Tahiti for its exotic beauty
The Pink Beach, where a hermit guardian looks after the precious pink sand
Il Manto della Madonna, the so-called “Holy Mary’s Cloak” for the otherworldly blue of this stretch of sea
Roccia dell’Orso, the Bear Rock, which is, as you probably guessed, shaped as a bear
The Relic beach

We will be walking around the picturesque La Maddalena town and will have the option to visit Garibaldi’s house, where the Italian hero spent his last days, asking for his bed to be moved to where he could gaze at “the emerald and sapphire sea”.
