Ready to drop anchor in some of the Med’s most legendary waters? Here are 6 tips for sailing crews + my personal favs (and fails) from this season’s Sardinia & Corsica loop:

1. Don’t get trapped in Porto Cervo – Overrated & overpriced. Unless you’re docking next to a superyacht for the ‘gram, move on.

2. Skip Bonifacio at mid-day – Gorgeous, yes, but painfully crowded. Hit it at sunrise or off-season.

3. Under-the-radar gem? Cala Gonone (Sardinia) – Perfect base to dinghy out to secluded caves & beaches like Cala Luna.

4. Pro tip: Always provision in Olbia – great markets, local cheeses, and solid wine at a fraction of the marina prices.

5. Sail north to Cap Corse (Corsica) – Wild, rugged, and totally underrated. Minimal crowds, maximum vibe.

6. Weather watch: The Mistral hits harder than you think. Don’t underestimate it – check forecasts religiously.

I’m about to share my top discoveries with you… 

Cities I like: Alghero (chill vibes + great seafood)

City I love: Ajaccio – Napoleon’s hometown, but way more than history. Sunset aperitivo heaven.

Place I dislike in peak season : La Maddalena – beautiful but chaos in peak season, and mooring fees are steep.

Beach I wanna explore: Spiaggia di Tizzano (Corsica’s wild side – no marinas, just anchor & swim)

Place I wanna visit again: Lavezzi Islands – raw, surreal beauty. Crystal water, granite boulders, absolute magic. Can’t wait to drop anchor there again.

See you out there, sails full & fridge stocked with Vermentino!

Stay tuned – I’m dropping it soon. 

Love, Biggi
