Sardinia Trip Report – Great Yachts and Itineraries for Summer 2014

The Boatbookings team have returned to the office today after an unforgettable trip, exploring Sardinia and inspecting yachts and crews for charter next year. We cannot recommend Sardinia’s coasts highly enough, they truly offer everything a charterer could ask for, whether you charter in the north or the south you are guaranteed to see beautiful unspoilt coastline and turquoise waters.

From the beautiful sights of Nora Beach on the south coast you will see stretches of golden beaches and island groups each with their own personality, perfect for anchoring your boat and enjoying the delicious Sardinian cuisine. Teulada is a beautifully quaint and quiet port boasting clear water as far as the eye can see and a great starting point for viewing the breathtaking beaches of Carloforte.

The north also gives you plenty of options of places to see and do, from the hustle and bustle of trendy Porto Cervo to the quaint alpine village of Cannigione. There you will see flat water resembling a tranquil lake and a sharp contrast between precarious rock formations and colourful coastal towns.

We couldn’t fault Sardinia, and we can’t wait to help you organise your charters there! Contact us, and look out for upcoming blogs on our favourite boats.christmas inflatables

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!
