French and Italian Islands in the Tyrrhenian SeaSail Corsica and Sardinia

The islands of Costa Smerelda and Maddalena in Sardinia are uniquely stunning Italian coastal escapes. Sail past wind-sculpted granite cliffs and swim ashore to sun-soak on white sandy beaches.

Explore Italian flavours, styles and history, and then sail next door to French Corsica. Fall in love with Bonifacio, Lavezzi, Port de Cavallo and Porto Vecchio. These towns put on a summer explosion of culture; wander local markets, sip coffee in the piazza (town square), catch a local band and taste local food and wines.

Spend 14 days sailing aboard one of a small flotilla of hand-picked yachts and experience this ancient, welcoming paradise from its best angle – the water. Soak up the colours, sounds and scents of this unique sailing destination.

Yacht Rally - Small-Group, Guided Tours

Small Group ComfortYou’ll sail in comfort on your chosen yacht, as part of a shared boat of up to 7 other travellers, or as a crew of friends on your own yacht. Sail together in a small flotilla of up to 6 yachts, supported by your Australian guide and a local technician. Along the way, you can join in fun races, explore on land and relax completely at reserved marinas, stunning bays and when visiting restaurants, you’ll be treated as old friends.

How do I join?Bring friends, include a skipper as an add-on if needed, or sail yourselves and we can

help you do the paperwork. If you’re a couple or single we can match you with other like-minded people on a shareboat.

How do I get there?The best most direct way to reach the start of the rally is to fly from Rome to Olbia on Sardinia. Mariner Boating Holidays works closely with travel specialists who are experts at creating tailored flight solutions. Contact us for further details.

Life on BoardYour yacht offers the perfect space to unpack and unwind. It’s modern and comfortable, with areas to relax both

below and on deck. Throw down a cushion, curl up and read a book, or dive off into the azure crystaline waters to cool off.

Your travelling companionsEvery group is different, but typically you’ll find your co-travellers will be aged between 40 and 65, who enjoy keeping active, love the ocean, have a sense of adventure, love fine foods, an occasional glass of wine, and a good chat.

Here’s how it works

Corsica and Sardinia

No sailing experience is necessary. Singles, couples and crews can shed the stress of organising everything and savour an adventure of a lifetime.

Your yacht, guide and local technicianChartering a yacht for an international holiday and skippering with friends can be fraught with disappointment, stress and, sometimes, unexpected costs.

So often, its not what you know, its who you know. Getting help from someone who has 30 years experience chartering yachts, has some great benefits. Local knowledge, long-standing connections with charter operators, first-hand knowledge of the yachts and what to expect, are among the perks of getting great sailing support.

Choose from a hand-picked selection of yachts with a range of sizes and prices to suit your crew and budget. Reach out to our ground crew for yacht specifications and prices.

Your guide and technician are hand-picked by us, using our preferred charter partners. They are consumate professionals, whose job will be to make sure that you are as comfortable as you can be on your journey.
