Bonifacio

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
