Detailed Itinerary by days
Day 1Olbia - Porto San Paolo
From Olbia's busy dock to Porto San Paolo, where Sardinia's untamed heart meets the sea, float south following breakfast on deck. Drop anchor amid liquid turquoise in a bay surrounded by hills with juniper-scented frames. Spend your afternoon snorkelling over Cala Girgolu's seagrass meadows, then observe local fisherman dragging bottarga (cured fish roe) onto battered wooden boats. Eat grilled octopus at a family-run trattoria while stars show up, the lights of Tavolara Island flickering like far-off fireflies.
Day 2Porto San Paolo - Tavolara Island
Hoist flies near the limestone behemoth of Tavolara, its cliffs glistening in morning light amber. Swim coast at Spiaggia Spalmatore, a crescent of powdered sugar sand where wild goats munch rosemary plants. Climb the secret road to Tavolara's "royal cemetery," indeed, this micronation once had kings! then freedive in the afternoon to see barracuda dashing through underwater stone cathedrals.
Day 3Tavolara - Golfo Aranci
Sail north past Molara Island, the granite domes rising like old sea turtles. Dock under striped umbrellas in the elegant harbour of Golfo Aranci. Aperol spritzes clink here. Hunt sunset cocktails at Rosa dei Venti, where boat crews trade stories of secret grottoes; snorkel the Secca di Capo Figari, a submerged mountain bursting with neon nudibranchs.
Day 4Golfo Aranci - Porto Rotondo
Coast into Costa Smeralda's playground, where yachts of billionaires bob next to Spanish watchtowers from the 16th century. Anchor off Spiaggia Ira, a pink-granite cove with melted peridot-shining water. Under Pietro Cascella's marble "Circle of Life," steal a kiss under the stage-set of ivy-clad villas, Ashore, roam Porto Rotondo's piazzetta.
Day 5Porto Rotondo - Portisco
Sail west to Portigo, a protected bay with strong smells of myrtle. Spend the day beach-hopping: plunge into Cala di Volpe's celebrity-frequented seas, then flee to Cupaccia, a secluded cove just reached by gentle. Join Sardinian guitarists at La Sorgente for culurgiones—herb-stuffed pasta—and throaty a tenore harmonies as evening falls.
Day 6Portisco - Porto Cervo
Slide into Porto Cervo, the most glamorous Med port. Play spot-the-superyacht while drinking champagne at Phi Beach, then sail to Cala Granu — a Robinson Crusoe bay where you will swim alone in waters so pure they defy science – away from the glitz. Come back at dusk to see oligarchs in the geometric marble maze of the Piazzetta.
Day 7Porto Cervo - Olbia
Sail to Caprera's Cala Portese for your last morning; Garibaldi's ghost prowls wind-twisted pines there. Before one last swim at Cala Coticcio, the "Tahiti of the Med," snorkel the Spargi Shipwreck, whose cannons have coral crusted on them Go back to Olbia as the sun bronzes Monte Limbara, salt in your hair and Sardinia's fierce soul carved on your bones.
