Sailing in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Sardinia, the second largest island in the Mediterranean, aboard a chartered yacht provides a unique opportunity to experience the islands, beaches and bays of the exotic Costa Smeralda (The Emerald Coast) or the more tranquil Costa Verde. The idyllic beaches, craggy rock formations and deep green coves off Southern Italy beckon sailors from around the world to spend a few days or a few months cruising in the waters that harbor deserted stretches of coastline and interesting towns along with the beautiful people resident on 100 meter mega-yachts sharing these expansive waters. Your sailing adventure might take you to Caprera Island in the Maddalena Archipelago National Park, the foremost destination of Sardinian visitors. You could consider visiting the beach of Manto della Madona with its deep blue, crystal clear water.
