Sailing Boat Tour to Southern Corsica from Santa Teresa di Gallura
Crystal waters, wild coastlines, and a taste of two islands in a single unforgettable day
This sailing boat tour from Santa Teresa di Gallura to southern Corsica offers a rare chance to explore one of the Mediterranean's most unspoiled stretches of coastline aboard a classic Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49. Within thirty minutes of leaving port, you are already in a different world — one defined by turquoise coves, granite outcrops, and silence.
The Bocche di Bonifacio, the narrow strait separating Sardinia from Corsica, is renowned for its powerful currents and dramatic scenery. Crossing it on a sailing boat gives a perspective that no ferry or road can replicate. The skipper reads the wind and the sea, choosing stops that reward guests with the best conditions of the day.
Isola Piana and the Lavezzi Islands are among the designated stops on the itinerary. Both fall within protected marine areas, meaning the water here is exceptionally clear and marine life remains largely undisturbed. Snorkelling in these bays offers visibility that is difficult to find elsewhere along the northern Mediterranean coast.
The boat accommodates a maximum of twelve passengers, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and personal. Lunch is served on board and draws on local Sardinian and Corsican traditions, pairing fresh fish dishes with regional wine, fruit, and sweets.

Itinerary Overview
The tour sets off from the port of Santa Teresa di Gallura in northern Sardinia. Guests board the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49 and receive a safety briefing before casting off.
Approximately thirty minutes of sailing across the Bocche di Bonifacio strait brings the boat to the waters of southern Corsica. The skipper monitors conditions and confirms the day's stops.
One of the typical stops is the unspoilt Isola Piana, a small uninhabited island with shallow, transparent bays ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
An aperitif of typical local products opens the meal, followed by a first or second course of fresh fish, regional wine, beer, fruit, Sardinian sweets, and myrtle liqueur.
The Lavezzi archipelago, part of a protected natural reserve, offers dramatic granite formations and outstanding water clarity for an afternoon swim.
The boat sails back across the strait to the departure port. Total time on the water from departure to return is approximately eight hours.
