your sailing area
The Bay of Naples is a stunning coastal area renowned for its breathtaking views, vibrant culture, and rich history. Surrounded by picturesque towns like Sorrento and Positano, it offers fascinating archaeological sites, such as Pompeii. The bays’ clear waters invite visitors to explore, making it a must-see destination in Italy. It’s well worth spending some time inland before you board Florette.
From: Naples
To: Olbia, Sardinia
Getting There
Naples, Italy
By Air:
The nearest airport is Naples International, which is about a 10-minute taxi ride to the marina.
Getting Home
Olbia, Sardinia
By Air:
Flight from Olbia Airport direct to London, Bristol, Birmingham or Manchester airports. The airport is about 15 minutes from the harbour.
The route will entirely depend on the wind, as Florette will make the best use of the weather to cross to Sardinia. The plan would be to spend a few days exploring the islands of Ischia, Procida, and Capri before making the crossing to Sardinia and then another few days exploring the beautiful coastline around Costa Smeralda.
The islands of Ischia and Procida boast vibrant, bustling, balmy waterfronts with a wonderful laid-back, easy-going island vibe. Procida is much smaller and quieter than its neighbours, offering stunning beaches, historic sites, and delicious local cuisine. Ischia, the largest of the two islands, is famous for its volcanic thermal springs, lush landscapes, and charming towns such as Ischia Porto.
Probably best known for its affluence and luxury boutiques, the island of Capri is also known for its rugged coastline, azure waters, and dramatic cliffs. Its vibrant atmosphere and Mediterranean cuisine make Capri a perfect place to anchor and explore.
Leaving behind the islands dotting the horizon, Florette will set course for a longer journey to the island of Sardinia. This open-water sailing will provide a great opportunity for everyone to hoist the sails together and relax into the rhythm of the sea. Our first stop is expected to be the coastal town of Costa Smeralda, where vivid turquoise waters meet fine sandy beaches—perfect for some relaxation after a day on the water.
Sardinia boasts over 2,000 kilometres of coastline, sandy beaches, and a rugged mountainous interior. The island is dotted with thousands of mysterious Bronze Age stone ruins shaped like beehives, making it worthwhile to explore once you’ve said goodbye to Florette.
Although you will be embarking on a sailing voyage and the emphasis will be on your enjoyment of the experience, you will be the vessel as a Voyage Crew Member.
Your role as a Voyage Crew Member will involve you learning about and participating in ship-board life. Allowances will be made for age and abilities. No previous sailing experience is necessary. The term "VOYAGE CREW" defines any persons coming onboard for pleasure and or as an active member of the permanent crew, trainee/ Mitsegler, youths or as a student.
Due to the nature of the ship and activities we require all Voyage Crew Members to be in good health and be fit. We want you to have fun!
Generally, we don't recommend this type of vacation to anyone who is 70 years or older. All seniors over 60 years during voyages in the Atlantic and Caribbean must have a letter of good health from a medical doctor stating they are fit to join the intended voyage.
Before all delivery voyages and Ocean sailings, we require all voyage crew to have an interview with Captain Ron Haynes to discuss if this type of voyage is suitable for you. Especially on longer voyages having a nice constellation of people on board is very important to us, as we will be living together in limited space for sometimes over a month.
The length of the voyage, the voyage crew constellation, and your age, experience and fitness will be considered. Of course, if you have sailed before with us you will be warmly welcomed on board.
