like a fjord. Southeast is Cala Brigantina,
a narrow bay protected by the rocks. South

BONIFACIO
Gods couldn't make a
better present to Corsica than Bonifacio! A
white vessel ready to leave the country and
sail to the sea. The charm of its narrow
streets leading to the Citadel.
Fascinating is the entry to the harbour,
from far it seems like a split in the white
limestone cliffs, inside the fjord, there is
a meander, where boats stop if the harbour
is full. After it Bonifacio!
Remember you will be in France and you can
find the “baguettes” and the “crêpes”.
North Sardinia Sail tip: go up to the
Citadel, especially in the windy days.

ISOLA DI BUDELLI
Budelli is part of
the Maddalena Archipelago, is famous for the
legendary “Spiaggia Rosa” (“Pink Beach”).
The coral sand colour, the colour intensity of
the sea and shape of granite rocks that
surround the set it are an unique spectacle
in the world, a natural monument to be
observed in religious silence.
The “Spiaggia Rosa” of Budelli was
immortalized by filmmaker Michelangelo
Antonioni with a long sequence in the film
"Red Desert” |

island of La Maddalena, there are many small
bays with transparent water, among them Cala

Genovese name of its narrow alleys, which

the port town around which has developed
throughout the town. In town you can find

PEVERO
It’s a beautiful bay, just behind the marina
of Porto Cervo. It is covered from Mistral,
so when it is blowing, the marina can be
full. The landscape is a fable, two
beautiful sandy beaches, on the hill the
famous Costa Smeralda’s villas with their
green gardens.
With an hour sailing you can reach Portisco
and the Gulf of Cugnana. |
Sea, luxurious, nightlife
Porto Cervo today is the
symbol of the Costa Smeralda, of luxury tourism and VIPs,
of trendy cafés, restaurants and yachts, but also as a
privileged place of where you can watch the
international jetsetters.
The coastline of Sardinia is an
extraordinary sailing destination with hundreds of
secluded bays, idyllic beaches and dramatic rock
formations. Sardinia boasts an attraction for many by
the diversity of its coastline; from the dunes of the
Costa Verde to the green bays and spectacular cliffs of
Cala Gonone.
Striking at the fantastic Costa
Smeralda are the magical beaches and a system of
villages built according to a detailed urban plan. The
area is a luxury tourist destination where very wealthy
European and Arab VIPs visit in the summer.
Weather and wind conditions
in the North of Sardinia are the most constant. That
means that most sailors come to the Costa Smeralda. The
Costa Smeralda is also an excellent base for exploring
the famous Maddalena Islands on the way to the French
island of Corsica.
There are two winds that are
responsible for the stunning sailing conditions; the
Sahara wind and the Maestrale. The Maestrale blows
mostly along the West Coast, and for a few days can
bring very powerful W to NW winds. While along the East
Coast a S to SE wind dominates.
Seasons Sardinia:
In March the spring begins turning in May to early
summer and in June you can enjoy summer daytime
