Travel, Sport and Nature

Vertigo Blue combines otudoor activities with travel and discovery of amazing natural sites.

We organize sailing cruises in the Mediterranean Sea dedicated to sailing and climbing.

In small groups of 4 to 5 participants, we will set sail toward the most beautiful coasts of the Mediterranean Sea: A human-scale experience led by qualified and passionate instructors.

Our journeys are open to everybodies’ level: Freshwater sailors or aspiring salty-sea dogs, novice climbers or hardened mountaineers, occasional travellers or professional globetrotters…

Motivation and good mood are the only requirements to travel with us!

Merging Sailing and Climbing

Sailing and climbing are activities that complement each other perfectly and share common values:

cooperation and mutual support, overcoming the physical and mental self, sport in close contact with nature.

A different way of travelling

Living on a sailing boat and traveling with the wind. Getting in touch with yourself by climbing higher, only with your own skills.

Getting aware of the rhythm and constraints of nature to understand and play with it better.

Savouring the fulfillment of a face to face with wild landscapes on land and at sea.

Sailing as climbing hide the promises of a different journey.

Destinations

Sail with us in Sardinia, to discover the splendid Gulf of Orosei or the Maddalena Archipelago;

In Greece, for a taste of the gentle way of life in the Argolic Gulf, on the eastern side of the Peloponnese, and to climb the incredible Leonidio cliffs;

In Sicily, heading towards San Vito lo Capo and its exceptional natural heritage, with its turquoise beaches and impressive cliffs;

In Corsica, discover the incredible beauty and diversity of the island;

In Croatia, to play between the countless islands, enjoy the wind sheltered from the coast and be amazed at every moment by the wild beauty of the landscape;

To the island of Elba, a little jewel in the Mediterranean, unspoilt and wild, the perfect playground for outdoor activities.

Or to Marseille, where you can explore the Calanques and some of the small wild islands around there, a fragile environment of rare beauty.

Andrea Zecca

Born in 1985, Italian expat for a long time (in Germany, Spain, then in France). I discovered sailing and climbing more than 10 years ago, during my years of studies in Barcelona, and since then these two passions have not given up on me. It was at that time that I first imagined Vertigo Blue. I ended up giving up a scientific career after getting my Phd to go learn sailing in Corsica. Since then, I have multiplied the trainings (sailing, kayaking, climbing).

Sarah Marquina

Born in 1990, French. I studied cinema in Montpellier. I had dreamed of boats all my childhood but I didn’t really rediscover the sailing until 2015, during a course in Bonifacio. A year later, I quit my job to go learning sailing in corsica.
My fear of the void didn’t predestinated me to join a climbing project. But passion must be contagious, because I’m finally gone for!
