The itinerary

Day by day,
beautifully considered.

This is the journey's natural rhythm. Every stage can be refined around your dates, interests and preferred pace.

Day 1

Bonifacio, poised above the sea

Arrive privately in southern Corsica for a landmark stay, a gentle introduction to the citadel and dinner overlooking the harbour.

Day 2

Embarkation beneath the cliffs

Meet your crew and leave Bonifacio by water, following the limestone coast towards a first quiet anchorage.

Days 3–4

Lavezzi & the crossing south

Let conditions shape two days among sculpted islands, transparent coves and the open strait before entering Sardinian waters.

Days 5–6

La Maddalena, island by island

Move slowly through the archipelago, balancing secluded swimming, unhurried lunches aboard and an elegant evening ashore.

Days 7–8

Costa Smeralda, beyond the familiar

Follow the granite coast towards Porto Cervo, choosing discreet bays, exceptional tables and one final anchorage away from the busiest harbour.

Day 9

Disembarkation in Sardinia

Private transfer to Olbia for onward travel, or continue into a villa stay in the island's quieter interior.
