Step Aboard FORTUNA in Stunning Sardinia!

Make your summer yacht charter Sardinia the best yet with a trip to La Maddalena Archipelago, set in between Southern Corsica and Northern Sardinia. This magical national park is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Sardinia. The several beaches and coves of the archipelago are famous for their crystal clear waters. Cala Corsara is considered one of the bests; it is located in the isle of Spargi and famous for its fine white beach and clear blue sea. The Spiaggia Rosa (the pink beach), on the isle of Budelli, is the most delightful of the beaches, boasting pretty pink sand made from tiny broken shells and marine life.Screen-Shot-2015-04-17-at-08.26.54

Ile de Porquerolles – A Hidden Paradise

One of my favourite places on the French Riviera is the lesser known Ile de Porquerolles where the crystal clear waters, golden sand and dream-like bays are more akin to somewhere found in the tropics.  This sensational paradise is the antidote to the hustle and bustle of St Tropez – a tranquil haven in which to relax and unwind whilst enjoying the stunning scenery. Together with the island of Port-Cros and île du Levant, Porquerolles belongs to the îles d’Hyères Archipelago, also knows as the îles d’or (Golden Islands). The biggest of the three islands of the archipelago, Porquerolles is shaped like a croissant and is seven kilometers long by three kilometers wide.

The UAE Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai took delivery of a brand new luxury 40m San Lorenzo super yacht at this years Dubai International Boat Show. The spectacular 40 Alloy model is an aluminium designed superyacht with a planing hull. It was handed over to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, and Dubai Ruler on the 9th March at the Dubai International Boat Show.

The Sheikh’s super yacht took just one year to come to fruition at San Lorenzo’s shipyard in Italy. It was then shipped to the Middle East via special cargo transport from Genoa, before passing through the Suez Canal where it entered the Red Sea. The yacht finally arrived in Dubai after about 15 days transit.

So what can you expect from this luxury super yacht? On the lower deck, there are two double and two triple cabins, which can accommodate up to ten guests in lavish surroundings. Her crew quarters can accommodate 6, as well as the capatain. Two MTU 2775 HP engines provide guests with great performance and comfort whilst on board, with a cruising speed of roughly 25 knots.
