    Sardegna 7days

    Globe Sailor was very helpful in organizing our trip. Our advisor answered all inquiries very quickly and was extremely thorough. I would definitely recommend an extra day on either end of an excursion to visit the town of Olbia.
    All the scheduled stops were very beautiful and because mid September there weren’t too many crowds. I would have preferred to do more sailing than motoring to destinations but of courses that was weather dependent. Meals on board were great. I would suggest that the itinerary should have at least one night in a port that dinner is not included on the boat so you are able to sample the local cuisine. Our experience with globe sailor was very positive.

    Traumhafte "karibikähnliche" strände, netter und lustiger skipper,

    Wir haben 1 Wochen Sardinien Nordostküste + Korsika gebucht und es war ein sehr schöner und extrem erholsamer Urlaub. Für alle die Ruhe vom Alltagstrubel suchen, das Meer, Sonne und Baden lieben ist das der beste Urlaub, den man nur machen kann.

    Der Skipper war sehr nett und lustig, der Koch verstand sein Handwerk und zauberte trotz der eingeschränkten Möglichkeiten immer leckerer Sachen.

    Eigentlich alles perfekt, für 5 Sterne hätten aber noch folgende Dinge besser laufen müssen:
    - 2 Stunden Verspätung am 1 Tag. (20 Uhr statt 18 Uhr), ärgerlich, weil man sowieso schon nur sehr wenig vom Tag hat. An der Marina war man wohl überlastet mit allen Charter-Crews und die Lebensmittel waren nicht rechtzeitig da.
    - Das Boot war gepflegt, aber schon etwas älter (2007 glaub ich) - es gab immer wieder technische Problem mit der Elektrik und Wasser. Der Skipper hat es zwar immer irgendwie hingebogen, aber es war trotzdem manchmal etwas lästig.

    Costa smeralda in catamarano

    Ottimo skipper e cuoco veramente bravi e proattivi risolvendo ogni nostra esigenza ottima barca anche se un po datata, tour ottimo bellissimi posti.
    Un po di sofferenza con l'aria condizionata
    Unico aspetto negativo asciugamani forse nuovi non asciugavano e pochi, copriletti con odore di mare non forse puliti ad ogni weekend e frigoriferi che hanno bisogno di un decongelamento e profonda pulizia
    Tutto sommato bravi bellissima vacanza grazie

    Crociera da sogno, con qualche problema di prenotazione

    La crociera proposta dal charter è stata bellissima, skipper e hostess hanno risposto positivamente a tutte le nostre esigenze e non abbiamo avuto nessun tipo di problema. Inoltre siccome viaggiavamo con nostra figlia di 2 anni sono anche stati molto premurosi e l'hanno accolta e coccolata al meglio.
    Fortunatamente, dopo aver saputo del ritardo sulla disponibilità della barca e aver insistito con globesailor per non annullare il viaggio sono riusciti a trovare questa ottima soluzione, con una barca più piccola ma con meno persone con cui viaggiare.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is everyone on board English-speaking?

    Please note that this cruise is not exclusive to English travelers. It is quite common to meet people of various nationalities on board as we offer cruises to international clientele - encouraging curious and enriching exchanges for both passengers and crew.
    Crew members are multilingual and qualified to offer multilingual service.
  • Who takes care of my air transport to Sardinia?

    Your plane tickets can be booked by the GlobeSailor team. All you need to do is specify this to your adviser when booking your cruise.
  • How are my transfers between the airport and the marina organized?

    Your transfers are not included in your cruise package. If you wish, your GlobeSailor adviser can help you organize them. Do not hesitate to ask him for more information.
  • How does a crewed cruise (with skipper and hostess) work?

    All the skippers we offer are declared and have the necessary professional certificates. They speak English fluently. The skipper is in charge of navigation and your safety on board. Do not hesitate to take part in manoeuvres with him, he will be happy to teach you the basics of navigation. Regarding the organization, the skipper and the hostess/cook sleep on the boat (either in the saloon or in cabins).
  • Does the boat operate only with the sails?

    It depends on the weather. When the winds are strong, the skipper will use the sails to sail silently. On days with calmer winds or to reach the stopovers on schedule, the skipper may need to use the engine. The engine is also used when entering and leaving the marinas. We cannot guarantee a minimum time of using the sails. The skipper will do their best to use the sails as much as possible and involve passengers in manoeuvres.
  • Are the menus adapted to special dietary requirements?

    We strive to offer the best possible services on our cruises and providing special dietary options are part of this. Please inform your charter advisor of any dietary restrictions or requirements well in advance of the cruise, so that the crew may be informed and make the necessary adaptations to the menus provided.
    Please note that the preparation of adapted menus adds a certain level of complexity for our hostesses/cooks, who will prepare meals for 12 guests on board. Sourcing good quality substitute products also incurs additional costs. It is therefore necessary for us to charge a supplement, in order to guarantee that all our guests on board receive the same level of quality service.
  • Can I bring alcohol on board?

    No passengers are allowed to bring bottles of alcohol on board.
  • What does on-board cash box include?

    The on-board cash box includes the following elements:
    Payment of taxes in national parks
    Tourist taxes and landing in the islands
    Anchorage and mooring fees at certain ports of call
    The costs of any additional supplies of fresh water, fuel, gas, fresh produce, etc.
  • What do I do to confirm my reservation?

    To confirm your reservation, you must inform your GlobeSailor adviser who will make an option for you while collecting your deposit. The reservation will only be considered final once your deposit has been received (by bank transfer, Paypal or credit card), of 30 to 50% of the amount of the reservation. A 100% deposit will be required for any reservation within one month of departure. The balance will be due no later than 45 days before the boarding date.
  • What happens in case of cancellation?

    In the event of cancellation, you must notify your GlobeSailor adviser as soon as possible. Whatever the cause, the following cancellation fees will be due: up to 90 days before departure: 30% /// from 89 to 60 days: 50% /// from 59 to 30 days: 75% /// 29 days until departure: 100% of the amount of your reservation.
