The captain we hired was great, took us to great places in North Sardinia, such as Maddalena, Caprera and also to Bonifacio in Corsica. A good captain, as of course a good boat, are certainly the main issues on a rental, as he should be always helpfull and know the best spots in the region you would like to know.

We recommend to visit Molara and Tavolara as well as the Cala Giroglu. We had lunch at Tavolara which was a bit expensive but definitely worth the money.

We visited Olbia, La Madalena, Porto Cervo, Bonifacio, Isole Piana. Bonifacio and Porto Cervo are the highlights. Also, several bays around La Madalena are really nice, and several beaches besides Porto Cervo. Make sure you stay docked in Bonifacio and visit and have dinner in the city, it is really nice there.

Golf of Olbia have different beautiful places and beaches, less people and not so crowded like the more famous sites. Perfect for relax and enjoy the sea. From the granitic coast of Capo Ceraso until Capo Figari and Cala Moresca, cristal water fishes and fantastic cliff of limestone. More then 20 beaches in 10 miles.
