Do I need sailing experience to join the flotilla?

No previous sailing experience is required to join the trip. The skipper and crew manage the navigation and sailing of the yacht throughout the week. Guests are welcome to help with sailing tasks if they would like to learn more, but participation is entirely optional. Many guests simply relax and enjoy the journey while others enjoy getting involved with the sailing.

What type of yacht will we be sailing on?

The flotilla takes place aboard a Lagoon 52 catamaran, a large sailing yacht designed for comfortable cruising. Catamarans are known for their stability and spacious layout, making them ideal for group sailing trips. The yacht provides multiple cabins, shared living spaces, and wide deck areas where guests can relax during the journey between anchorages.

How are cabins allocated onboard?

Guests can book as individuals, pairs, or groups depending on their travel plans. Individual travellers may share a cabin with another guest or choose to book a private cabin depending on availability. Cabins provide comfortable sleeping areas with access to ensuite bathrooms. Shared indoor and outdoor spaces allow the group to relax together throughout the trip.

What does a typical day on the flotilla look like?

Most days begin with breakfast onboard before setting sail for the next destination. The yacht usually stops in a bay around lunchtime where guests can swim, relax, and enjoy lunch onboard. Later in the afternoon the group sails towards the evening destination which could be a harbour town or a quiet anchorage depending on conditions.

How are meals organised during the week?

Food and drinks onboard are usually organised through a shared boat kitty. This allows the group to purchase groceries for meals, snacks, and drinks during the trip. When eating ashore in towns or restaurants, guests typically pay individually depending on what they choose to order.

Where does the trip start and end?

The sailing trip begins and ends at Marina di Portisco in north-east Sardinia. Guests will travel to Sardinia independently before joining the flotilla at the marina. At the end of the week guests depart from the same marina before travelling back to Olbia Airport or continuing their travels on the island.

How do I get to the marina from the airport?

The nearest airport to the starting point is Olbia Airport. From there the marina can be reached by taxi or private transfer. Guests often coordinate travel times and share taxis with others arriving around the same time, making the journey to the marina straightforward.

Will we stay in marinas or anchor overnight?

The itinerary includes a mixture of marina stays and nights at anchor depending on the weather and route. Both options provide different experiences during the week. Anchoring allows guests to swim directly from the boat and enjoy quiet surroundings, while marina stops provide access to restaurants and town centres.

What facilities are available onboard?

The Lagoon 52 catamaran includes comfortable cabins, bathrooms, and shared living areas. Electric toilets and onboard showers are available for guest use throughout the week. The yacht also features air-conditioning, generators, and refrigeration which help keep the onboard environment comfortable during the trip.
