It is a sad fact that every spring, shortly after launching, many boats moored safely at the quay then sink, and turn what can be the most beautiful time of the year into a fiasco.

Although sailing uses the energy of the wind, every trip leaves an ecological footprint. Every sailor, be it on his own boat or on a chartered boat, can reduce this footprint with just a few small changes.

Arriving: the location - Sardinia is big: the island is 140 nautical miles long and 75 nautical miles wide. After a circumnavigation of the island, there would be 450 nautical miles in the logbook. So it's better to choose one side of the island and focus your cruising there. And for the majority of people, it's quickly decided: they head for the north-east of the island. The wildly rugged coast, frequented by the rich and famous with their superyachts, together with the offshore islands offer postcard-perfect close-up destinations by the dozen.

Arrive, unpack, enjoy, leave – nice! If only it could be like this at the beginning of a charter trip! But before you can relax into your holiday, it’s important to check the boat thoroughly and instruct the crew.

Dogs and cats are often considered full family members, so why not take your furry roommates with you on the trip?
