June 26 – July 3, 2027 · Cannigione, Sardinia
Sail Sardinia
with the Newloves
Seven days on the most gorgeous water in the Mediterranean. Your own boat, your own pace — and the people you love most never more than a harbour away.
Big birthdays call for big adventures
Tanya and Myles are both turning 50 in 2027, and they're celebrating the way they do everything — with people who feel like family, somewhere absolutely beautiful. Top of the Year of Adventure list? A flotilla through Sardinia with their favourite humans. That means you.
This isn't a stuffy charter trip or a race to anywhere. It's a week of turquoise water, Italian wine, spontaneous swim stops, and the kind of evenings that turn into stories you'll still be telling at 60.
First things first
So… what is a flotilla?
Imagine a group road trip — but everyone gets their own car (boat), you pick your own music (playlist), and every stop is a postcard-worthy Italian harbour. That's a flotilla.
You charter your own yacht with your own crew of friends or family. You sail together in a loose group, arrive at the same gorgeous spots, then split up or hang together however you feel. Total freedom, zero loneliness.
Your own boat
Your yacht, your cabins, your people. No sharing with strangers — just the crew you chose.
Easy daily sails
1.5 to 3 hours of sailing each morning between gorgeous ports. Short, scenic, and genuinely fun.
Group swim stops!
All boats raft up together for mid-passage swim stops in crystal-clear Sardinian water. The kids will lose their minds.
Happy hours on deck
The whole flotilla reconvenes for sundowners in the evening. Drinks, snacks, and the best sunset views in the Mediterranean.
Afternoons are yours
Explore the village, nap in the sun, find the best gelato. Or just float in the harbour. Nobody's keeping score.
Skipper on board
Every boat comes with a pro skipper — so zero sailing experience required. Just show up and enjoy the ride.
We need at least 2 boats to make it a flotilla, and we can fit up to 11 boats in our group. So grab your people and claim your spot — this one will fill up fast.
Life on board
A typical day in paradise
No alarms. No agendas. No one waiting on you. Here's roughly how the magic unfolds.
The vibe
Your space. Our adventure.
This is the thing that makes a flotilla so perfect: you get the group experience AND your own private retreat. Here's how it actually works.
Your boat = your world
Sleep, eat, and live on your own yacht. Your schedule, your menu, your kids' bedtime. We don't knock unless invited.
Friends who feel like family
Tanya and Myles have carefully curated this crew. Everyone on this flotilla is someone they adore. You're in good company.
Kids absolutely welcome
The boats are safe, the water is calm, and kids on a flotilla are the happiest kids alive. Instant best friends, endless adventures.
Group swim stops
The best part of every day — all the boats anchor up together in a secret cove and everyone jumps in. Pure joy.
Group happy hours
Every evening starts with everyone on the dock or rafted together. The golden hour, good drinks, and no agenda.
Alone time when you need it
Want a quiet night on your own boat? Nobody will guilt you. This is a holiday, not a military operation.
Choose your yacht
Pick the boat that fits your crew
Every boat comes with a professional skipper — so you don't need sailing experience, just a group of people you like being stuck at sea with. First, figure out which type of boat is right for you.
Monohull
A traditional single-hulled sailboat — the classic shape you picture when someone says "sailboat." It has one hull that cuts through the water, and when the wind fills the sails, the boat heels (leans) to one side. That tilt is part of the magic! It's the real sailing feeling — exhilarating, dynamic, and genuinely fun once you embrace it.
✅ You'll love a monohull if…
- ⛵ You want to feel like you're really sailing
- 🌊 You love that leaning, gliding feeling
- 💰 You're watching your budget — monohulls cost less
- 👨👩👧 Your crew is 4–8 people
⚠️ Good to know: The boat will lean while sailing. Most people love it — but if you're prone to seasickness, take note!
Catamaran
A catamaran has two hulls connected by a wide deck — think floating platform rather than traditional boat. Because of that wide stance, it barely tilts at all. It sails almost completely flat and steady, even in choppier conditions. It also has an enormous amount of living space — wide decks, big saloon, and two separate hulls to spread out in.
✅ You'll love a catamaran if…
- 😌 You get seasick or have limited sea legs
- 🧘 You want a rock-steady, flat ride
- 🏠 You want maximum space and comfort
- 👨👩👧👦 You have young kids or anyone who gets queasy
💚 Sea legs optional: The cat stays level even when sailing hard. It's the most comfortable way to be on the water.
Tanya's honest take: If your crew is totally new to sailing or anyone gets motion sickness easily — go catamaran. If you want that proper sailing adventure where the boat heels and you feel the wind — a monohull is pure magic. Both are incredible. You really can't go wrong. 🤍
