Sardinia & Corsica Sailing Adventure

Captain Fotis was incredible. He is a highly skilled sailor and exactingly minded the sails and winds. He also watched over everything like whether or not we had enough provisions and where it was safe to swim. Would travel with Intrepid again. Please also see my other positive comments about him & the trip.

Sardinia & Corsica Sailing Adventure

Adelle · Traveled July 2024
My girlfriend and I recently embarked on an incredible intrepid sailing tour through Sardinia and Corsica, and it was an experience we will never forget. Our skipper, Fotis, was nothing short of amazing. His dedication and passion for the job were evident in every aspect of the journey, ensuring we felt safe and well-guided throughout.Each morning began with a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters, an absolute highlight of the trip. Additionally, the sailing lessons offered were both educational and enjoyable, providing a deeper appreciation for the art of sailing.One of the standout features of the tour was our captain's impeccable recommendations for food in the ports where we stopped. Every restaurant and café he suggested was perfect, serving delicious local cuisine. We’ve decided that from now on, we won't go anywhere that doesn’t have Fotis’s seal of approval! Overall, this tour was a fantastic blend of relaxation, adventure, and culinary delight. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable sailing experience in one of the most beautiful regions of the world.
