Life aboard the boat is an essential part of the adventure—immersive, social, and full of unforgettable moments. Think of it as your floating basecamp, where you rest, recharge, and prepare for the next day’s climbing and sailing adventures.
Guests stay in shared cabins featuring double-sized or bunk beds, designed for two people per cabin. While space is compact, it’s all about the experience—fall asleep to the sound of the sea and wake up ready for adventure.
Just like in the mountains, teamwork is key! After a day of climbing, some will help stow the gear, others will cook, and a few will take on dishwashing duties—creating a dynamic, communal atmosphere.
Food is fuel for adventure! Everyone takes turns preparing and cooking meals, making dining a social and rewarding part of the journey. Bring your favorite recipes and enjoy sharing meals under the open sky.
Like any true basecamp, resources are limited. Water and electricity need to be used mindfully, fostering a simple and eco-conscious way of living, fully connected to nature.
The boat is more than just a means of travel—it’s a place to relax, share stories, and restore your energy before the next climb or sail. Whether it’s stretching on deck, enjoying a sunset swim, or simply lying under the stars, life onboard is all about balance.
Life on a boat is fun, spontaneous, and incredibly rewarding. Be prepared to laugh, share stories, and create lifelong friendships with like-minded adventurers.
Wake up to the gentle rocking of the boat, surrounded by Sardinia’s crystal-clear waters, among the most stunning in the Mediterranean. Start your day with a refreshing dive, then enjoy a fresh coffee as the adventure unfolds.
With the wind in our sails, we navigate along rugged coastlines and towering limestone cliffs, the tallest in the Mediterranean. Sailing grants us direct access to some of the island’s most beautiful and iconic crags, unreachable by land. We move effortlessly from one climbing spot to the next, explore hidden bays, swim between climbs, and fully embrace the beauty of boat life.
After an epic climbing session, we return to the boat, where the sunset casts golden hues over the cliffs. From this privileged vantage point, we admire the landscape while sipping a refreshing Aperol Spritz, toasting to another unforgettable day. As we sail toward our next anchorage, sharing stories over dinner, you’ll feel the magic of Sardinia—where towering cliffs meet the sea in perfect harmony.
Sardinia is a playground for climbers, sailors, and lovers of unspoiled nature.
Sardinia is a geological wonder, offering a diverse range of rock types. While limestone dominates, the island also features granite and basalt, providing a unique variety of climbing experiences.
Expect top-quality limestone, ranging from compact gray slabs with pockets and crimps to steep yellow and red overhangs filled with jugs, columns and tufas!
Sardinia’s rock diversity guarantees an exciting challenge for every climber!
A good level of physical fitness is important for actively participating in daily activities such as rock climbing and hiking.
Our selected climbing crags offer a wide range of grades, ensuring that participants of all skill levels can enjoy and challenge themselves at their own pace. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber, there will always be suitable routes to match your ability and goals.
A professional mountain guide will be present throughout the trip to ensure safety, provide instruction, and support skill development. Less experienced climbers will receive expert guidance on technique, rope maneuvers, and outdoor climbing skills, while more experienced participants will have the freedom to climb independently under the guide’s supervision. This allows everyone to enjoy a safe, rewarding, and tailored climbing experience.
