Experience the ultimate Mediterranean escape with our exclusive sailing tour to the protected Asinara National Park, departing from the charming village of Stintino. This 8-hour adventure invites you to step aboard 'Mastro Pasqualino,' a stunning 10-meter vintage wooden gozzo. Handcrafted with traditional techniques using mahogany, fir, azobé, and Sardinian oak, this vessel offers a unique, authentic way to navigate the breathtaking northwest coast of Sardinia.
Your journey begins in Stintino, where you will set sail through the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Asinara. Our young, expert captain, a skilled shipwright, will share fascinating stories about the sea and the history of the island as he guides you toward Cala Reale. Upon arrival, you will have the opportunity to explore the wild beauty of Asinara Island for approximately one hour, uncovering its hidden secrets and untouched landscapes.
After your land exploration, it is time to indulge in a true Sardinian feast. We serve a delicious, abundant lunch directly on board, featuring a selection of typical local cold cuts and cheeses paired with fresh Sardinian bread. The main course includes authentic gnocchetti with a rich Sardinian sausage sauce, accompanied by seasonal vegetables. To complete your culinary experience, enjoy wine, water, coffee, a traditional digestif, and, of course, delightful Sardinian desserts.
Following lunch, the voyage continues with refreshing swim stops. You will have the chance to dive into the pristine waters at Li Giorri or the famous natural pools of Fornelli for about half an hour of pure relaxation. The boat is fully equipped for your comfort, featuring a bathroom, kitchen, awning for shade, a freshwater shower, and a ladder for easy access to the water.
This sailing trip is more than just an excursion; it is an immersion into maritime heritage and natural splendor. The vessel’s tiller steering system even allows guests to try their hand at navigating under the watchful guidance of the crew. Whether you are a nature lover, a history enthusiast, or simply looking for a relaxing day at sea, this tour offers an unforgettable perspective on one of Italy’s most protected gems.
