Discovering the Beauty of Sardinia on your Luxury Yacht Charter! – Part 4 – The Emerald Coast.

Sounding like something out of Peter Pan, the Emerald Coast possesses all the beaches, coves and deep blue waters of Never Never Land, (though thankfully no longer pirates or errant Indian tribes) – enough to provide guests with a once in a life time charter. Indeed, the locals are many times nicer and are happy to show off their beautiful island to tourists.

The Emerald Coast is a 55km long stretch of coast in North Eastern Sardinia with the Port of Cervo as its epicenter. It is celebrated as a play ground for the rich and famous, but is known as such for a reason. Featuring 80 gorgeous bays, replete with unique granite formations, and the white sands of its beaches backed with scrub land perfumed with wild herbs, there is no better way to appreciate this natural beauty than in your very own yacht! The main beaches to visit include La Spiaggia Liscia Ruia, La Spiaggia del Principe and La Spiaggia Romazzino.

Porto Cervo itself sports a delightful array of cafes, bars and restaurants offering typical Mediterranean delights such as Pane Carasau, local hams, Pecorino cheese and home made pasta. Why not stop off in this historic port for a glass of famous Sardinian wine before visiting its large parks and elegant boutiques.

Boatbookings recommends the Sunseeker Predator 82, accommodating up to 8 guests in 4 cabins she has a modern and stylish interior as well as a breath taking top speed of 48 knots! Sunseeker are renowned for building the finest performance yachts and this one is no exception. With a fantastic spacious fly deck you can best appreciate your beautiful surroundings!

DEFIANCE, your ideal Luxury Charter Yacht around Miami and the Bahamas!

Thursday 14th February marked a very special day. Not only was it Valentines Day, but it was in fact the opening day of this years Miami International Boat Show. Spread over 4 venues, this years show brought together the latest marine technology, insurance and clothing, as well as some of the leading luxury yachts from prestigious marks such as Benetti, Riva, Sunseeker and Overmarine. Our Charter Director, Mimi Andain recommended that we should go visit DEFIANCE, a luxurious Mangusta 72, which combines stunning aesthetics with exhilarating speed and comfort.

We were very impressed by this 2007 model, which has just undergone a refit in 2012. She has a very fond owner and this is apparent from the detail throughout. The use of soft wood and light fixtures and fittings make this feel extremely spacious for a 72 foot yacht. The decks on board DEFIANCE offer ample space for at least 3 guests on her bow and 2 on the aft deck to enjoy the glorious weather of Miami and the Bahamas. With the Sunshine state having so many fantastic places to visit, how do you decide which ones to head to? We have put together a four day sample itinerary for Miami, which will show the city at its best!

Enjoy a Luxury Day Charter Around Ibiza!

Ibiza is without a doubt one of the best known holiday destinations! But there’s more to Ibiza than just the nightclubbing – the island offers plenty of natural beauty and culture, along with over 50 fantastic beaches! So, if you’re planning to visit Ibiza this year, why not spend a day of your vacation out at sea? Here is the itinerary for a typical day charter from Ibiza.

Starting in Ibiza town, either Marina Ibiza, Ibiza Magna or Marina Botafoch, you can cruise along the beautiful coastline of the island, enjoying stunning landscapes, clear turquoise waters and small caves along the coast to explore. You will see the silhouette of the castle of the old town, Dalt Vila as you start your charter for the day, before heading past the famous beaches of Ibiza, Playa d’en Bossa, Es Cavallet and las Salinas. Stop off at Playa de ses Illetes in Formentera, where you can swim, sunbathe or just wander around to your heart’s content!

Pay a visit to the natural harbour of La Savina, Formentera Port, one of the main gateways to the island, before settling down to enjoy some lunch. We would highly recommend Juan Y Andrea, Tanga or Molí de Salt for a choice of restaurants, where you can enjoy amazing meat or fish dishes, including the paella which Spain is so famous for. You can relax and eat on the sandy beaches, and indulge in a short siesta after lunch; when in Spain do as the Spaniards do!

If you’re really looking to indulge, try out the natural mud baths in Spalmador, which you will find at the far end of s’Alga beach; this 40,000 sq metre wide salt plain, with liquid mud right in the centre – a perfect substitute for a spa! Towards the end of your charter, head to Salinas – here you can dance to music from the very best international DJs, and enjoy a drink or two with your friends. To finish the day off, visit Es Vedra, to watch the sun go down over the sea, before returning to port.

So, if you are interested in exploring Ibiza by yacht, one of our favourites is JAX OF IBIZA, a Sunseeker Predator 92 Sport. This sleek build from Sunseeker features a flybridge, offering even more space for you to sit back in the sun. With a walnut finish and cream furnishings, the interior oozes elegance, you may struggle to decide whether you want to spend time inside or out! Accommodating up to
8 guests in 4 cabins, JAX OF IBIZA is available to charter from €6,800 per day.
