On the northeast tip of sweet Sardinia, the island of Figarolo is named after its fig trees and is famed for scuba diving. Experienced divers can dive down to the wreck of an old merchant ship that sank in 1900. This steep island appears almost like a pyramid rising out of the sea and is made from limestone rock, pine forest, and islets that can only be reached by boat. As the granite meets the water, it creates submerged caves brimming with black corals, sponges, gorgonians, urchins, and other saltwater characters.
The beautiful island of Caprera is known as the place where Giuseppe Garibaldi retired until his death in 1882, his home now a museum and the island a national monument. It is sparcely populated and is a heavily protected national park of astounding beauty!
A dazzling delight on the northern Sardinian coast, the Isola Santa Maria is the poster child of paradise. Bleached white sands meet milky blue, sapphire, and tantalizing turquoise shades on the soft whispers of a shoreline. While it’s a popular spot with day trippers and visitors, you are sure to find the warm waters a delight for snorkelling and swimming before climbing back aboard your yacht for a lazy sunlit lunch on deck. Active charter guests can take a stretching stroll to the nearby lighthouse or explore further the National Marine Park of La Maddalena. The National Marine Park stretches for more than 20,000 hectares across the sea and swallows 60 islands in its wake. It’s a whirlwind of remote shoes, pink sands, and sublime dive sites. Flocking with wild birds and sea turtles, this is one of the most evocative archipelagos in the Med and Santa Maria is no exception.
A mystical island in Sardinia's La Maddalena archipelago, Razzoli is undoubtedly one of the most rugged and beautiful. Home to old-world lighthouses, mythical tombs, soaring granite cliffs, and crystalline waters, Razzoli is a rare gem. While the isle itself is small, at 1.5 km, it is also completely uninhabited, making it a peaceful place for dropping anchor, exploring, swimming, and snorkeling. The main beach of Razzoli is Cala Lunga with its verdant green foliage, fine white sands, and access only by sea.
Beautiful Budelli is one of the most charismatic sights in the Archipelago of La Maddalena. With its turquoise waters and pink sands of the Spiaggia Rosa, charter guests are sure to swoon for the chance to sunbathe and swim on this beach - despite access to the sands being prohibited. A part of the wild lands of the national park, Budelli is a rare gem and almost glows with its rose pink hue. For the last century, the island was protected and privately owned before being taken back by the state. It is still under protected status, but charter guests can admire it from the deck of their yacht before exploring the beautiful coves and islets close by.
Cala Di Volpe, situated in the heart of the Costa Smeralda, has all of the glitz and glamour that this stretch of Sardinian coast has to offer, but with a touch more tranquility, as it is less developed than some of its more popular neighbours. An old fishing village at heart, Cala di Volpe features pastel-colored homes and a classic Mediterranean port, all set against the beautiful backdrop of the mountains of Golfo Aranci and Isola Tavolara. You'll also find picture perfect beaches with a laid back vibe, perfect for one of your quieter charter days.
Olbia is the gateway to Sardinia, with its large port and international airport. While it may be a little more industrial than other sides of wild Sardinia, this dynamic and fun city is filled with fascinating history and plenty of things to see and do. Recent renovations mean there's a trendy waterfront to explore, and the marina is filled with fabulous restaurants, bars, and shops all lining the pedestrian walkway. Authentic, energetic, and letting charter guests sample a true taste of Sardinian city life, a visit to Olbia is more than worth it. Explore the old town and the archeological museum, see the tomb of the Giants Su Monte ‘e S’Abe and Pedres Castle, and join the throngs of summer locals who love to queue for ice cream at midnight.
