Explore the Magic of the North Coast of Sardinia
Immerse yourself in an extraordinary maritime experience during a 7-day sea kayaking journey. Discover the northern coast of Sardinia while crossing iconic Corsican locations such as Bonifacio and the Lavezzi archipelago.
Each evening, you’ll be welcomed aboard a catamaran, transformed into a floating hotel to make your stay as comfortable as it is memorable. The prohibition of wild camping in the Maddalena National Park makes this option the ideal choice for those seeking an authentic sea kayaking experience while enjoying onboard comfort.
Our catamaran, mobile and flexible, joins us each night at a new location, offering an authentic exploration of these Mediterranean wonders. Moreover, its versatility proves invaluable in case of unfavorable weather conditions or if some participants simply prefer to relax during a stopover.
In case of unpredictable weather, seize the opportunity to learn the basics of sailing navigation from our experienced skipper. Take the helm and participate in maneuvers for an unforgettable open-sea experience.
The Venezia 42 catamaran provides all the necessary comforts for your stay, featuring 4 double cabins, 2 single cabins, and 2 bathrooms. The spacious upper deck allows you to stow the kayaks while enjoying breathtaking sunsets, stargazing, or simply listening to the gentle murmur of the sea against the boat’s hull.
Each night, rest in the same comfortable cabin but in a different location throughout your journey. At every stop, immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters before savoring a delightful meal made from local Corsican and Sardinian organic produce. A unique sea kayaking experience in an exceptional setting for enduring memories.
