After crossing the open sea, we reach the north coast of Sardinia. We explore the spectacular Maddalena Archipelago with its bizarre granite rocks and Caribbean beaches before heading via the Costa Smeralda to our destination port of Olbia.
The Mediterranean lifestyle with its delicious cuisine, friendly people and relaxed atmosphere will accompany us on this route full of contrasts. This voyage combines adventure, a real crossing, relaxation and the beauty of the Tyrrhenian Sea into an unforgettable sailing experience with breathtaking landscapes and cultural diversity.
For those collecting miles for their next sailing certificate: As we cross the open sea on this voyage, plenty of nautical miles will be added to the logbook. Of course, at the end of the trip we will issue you with an official mileage confirmation.
The area between the Balearic Islands and Sardinia offers varied conditions. While the coastal sections of Mallorca and Menorca charm with picturesque bays, the crossing to Sardinia offers genuine bluewater sailing. In June, ideal conditions prevail with plenty of sunshine and pleasant water temperatures. The north coast of Sardinia with the Maddalena Archipelago is considered one of the most beautiful and varied sailing areas in the world.
In June, the sailing route between Mallorca and Sardinia offers ideal conditions for a varied voyage. The winds are stable and calms are rare, especially in the afternoon when thermal winds set in.

What tasks does the crew have?
Everyone can, if they want, help with sailing, also steer the ship once, or simply enjoy the beautiful nature and the day. In addition, everyone is jointly responsible for the crew’s well-being. That means everyone takes turns preparing breakfast or taking care of dinner. Usually the hobby cooks on board quickly emerge and those who are not so into cooking simply hold back and do the dishes. When mooring and casting off, everyone usually lends a hand according to their abilities and after instruction by the skipper. The boat is to be kept clean by the crew members during the trip. However, the final cleaning is done by the marina staff.
What does boat fund actually mean?
All crew members (except the skipper) pay a jointly agreed amount into the boat fund. This fund covers all common costs incurred during the trip (e.g. diesel, harbour fees, deposit insurance, transit log, visitor’s tax, national and nature park fees, service pack for the provided bed linen, final cleaning, gas, marina fee for the first and last night in harbour etc.). According to old seafaring tradition, the skipper is provided with meals by the crew during the trip.
What does cabin charter mean?
Cabin charter is the best option for anyone who wants to experience sailing life. No prior knowledge or sailing experience is necessary. But perhaps you have already gained some sailing experience, completed sailing training and want to deepen it? – Then the skipper will give you the opportunity to try yourself and help you gain future confidence. The crew can help shape the course of the trip and your wishes will be heard, subject to safety and weather. On such a trip you meet like-minded people, can make new nice acquaintances and have an experienced skipper by your side who takes care of all nautical matters. The cabins on the yacht are usually equipped with different but very similar cabins. The berths are allocated by the skipper taking into account crew wishes. Entire cabins can be chartered by individuals, couples or families. Payment is per person and you don’t have to worry about anything else.
We want to make sailing more sustainable and environmentally friendly. On our GALINI we test innovative products to combine a great sailing experience with the smallest possible ecological footprint. Our small team of experienced skippers looks forward to experiencing real sailing adventures with you. Our base is on Poros, Greece – from there we explore the most beautiful cruising grounds in the world.
