Top luxury yachts in Northern Sardinia – get the inside track for summer 2014

Northern Sardinia offers some of the best scenery in the Mediterranean, crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches and there’s only one way to see it all…by boat of course! This is why Sardinia has become our fastest growing Mediterranean destination. Tom and Charles have recently returned from inspecting yachts for next summer (or earlier if you wish to beat the crowds!) so that we propose only the best to you. See below for our top picks below.

A view of the famous Costa Smeralda

SAFRA is our first recommendation, she is a gorgeous and sporty Azimut 86S. A top speed of 45 knots ensures that even the most demanding thrill seeker will be kept entertained! But don’t be mislead by her speed, SAFRA is spacious and extremely comfortable, she has 4 spacious staterooms to accommodate up to 8 guests in total comfort and luxury.

Captain David and his fantastic friendly crew will welcome you on board and look after you so that you can relax and enjoy your holiday on this beautiful yacht in a truly beautiful place.

Stunning SAFRA

LADY CAROLA is our other top pick for Sardinia. Her berth is on the gorgeous La Maddalena island, a protected paradise just North of mainland Sardinia, easily accessible from Olbia. La Maddalena is the perfect place to start your charter from before heading south towards Cagliari,stopping off at the tranquil and breathtakingly beautiful port of Cannigione.

Captain Gianpaolo is one of the friendliest Captains Tom and Charles have ever met, his passion for the sea and for LADY CAROLA were clearly evident as he showed us around, he even let us sample some of his fantastic Italian cooking from his extensive menu full of fresh local ingredients!

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

AUSTRALIS – a Boatbookings favourite from Monaco Yacht Show

Many boats stood out this year as a charterer’s dream, but our visit to AUSTRALIS was one that stood out from the crowd. Resting at anchor outside Port Hercule, she looked at home among even the largest of super yachts. This Oceanfast 48 was originally released in 2010, and following a thorough contemporary re-fit in January she was introduced to the Mediterranean charter market in Summer 2013. She’ll be spending this winter in SE Asia and will be available for charter in the Maldives and Thailand.

The re-fit has provided the boat with a wonderfully warm and inviting interior, with a comfortable but contemporary edge. She also has a whole new inventory of equipment, toys, linens and water-sports. Her all-new crew, including experienced and relaxed British captain Mark provide the perfect charter boat for families looking to relax whilst remaining active! The British chef lived and worked in Italy for 10 years meaning she provides authentic Mediterranean cuisine but can cater for all tastes. Perfect for winter charters in SE Asia and next summer in Mediterranean. Contact us for more information.
