About this experience
The special thing about a catamaran is the generous amount of space. Whether comfortably on the trampoline nets or together with the skipper on the flybridge. Perhaps if you prefer to sit in the cockpit with a view of the wake, the trip to the anchorage will already be extraordinary. In the bay there are several options to choose from, whether swimming, snorkeling, trying the stand-up paddle or great conversations on board in the sun or in the shade. We experience a day of great impressions and don't look so closely at the clock on the way back.

Detailed itinerary
1
From the old city harbor we start our trip along the docks of the ferries and cruise ships as well as countless mussel farms. We pass 'La Isola Bocca' with its landmark, the lighthouse of Olbia.
The Gulf of Olbia is now opening up giving us the opportunity to open the sails
2
If a departure from Olbia is not possible or if we wish to see dolphins, we start in Golfo Aranci
3
Should the wind not allow a pleasant trip to the Golfo Di Marinella, we will sail south, past the Isola Tavolara. The island with a length of six kilometers and a width of one kilometer is known as the smallest kingdom in the world. With a height of 560 meters, this island is also very popular for climbing enthusiasts.
4
We pass the 'Isola Di Molara'. This island with a size of around 10 km² was inhabited from ancient times up to the 20th century.
5
The Capo Coda Cavallo is pure nature with long white sandy beaches. An ideal place to take a swim and stop for lunch. Here, too, other activities such as stand-up paddle, kayak or snorkeling can be practiced.
