Itineraries
Sardinia – a great place to go sailing:
In January and February the prevailing wind blows from the NW at 4-6 Bf. From March to May the wind is either the range of 2-4 Bf from the SE or 4-6 Bf from the NW. During the summer months it is usually light from the SE with good local sea breezes, or NW at 4-6 Bf. From October to December the wind direction is primarily NW to SE at speeds of 2-6 Bf.
Sardinia has a unique coastline with fantastic beaches, bizarre rock formations, caves, secluded bays and turquoise blue waters. During its long history, the coastal areas of Sardinia were visited and colonized by an amazing number of cultures from overseas (Carthaginians, Romans, Arabians, Spaniards) which form the basis of the unique Sardinian culture and its traditions.
A sailing holiday in Sardinia offers something for every taste. Swimming and relaxing on white sandy beaches, diving in crystal clear water, exploring the local cuisine at a large variety of traditional and modern restaurants, nightlife in glamorous bars and discotheques along the Costa Smeralda where the rich and beautiful meet – it’s all there within easy reach from the Boomerang charter base in Portisco.
Our main sailing area is the National Park of La Maddalena which is located literally just around the corner in the straight of Bonifacio on the north east coast of Sardinia, between Corsica and Sardinia. Founded in 1994 as a geo-marine nature park it includes all the islands that surround the main island of La Maddalena and covers an area of 15,000 hectares with a coastline of 180 km. The islands are very rocky and sport some of the most picturesque beaches in the Mediterranean.
Much of the Sardinian life revolves around food and its unique cuisine which is based on the wide variety of fresh local produce. Unlike in mainland Italy, more bread than pasta is eaten. The most popular bread is pane Carasau, the traditional thin, crunchy bread of the shepherds.. Just as the Sardinian culture itself, the cuisine differs much between the countryside and the coast. The mostly simple dishes of the country are primarily based on meat, vegetables, fruit, bread, milk, cheese, honey and herbs. On the coast the dishes are, not surprisingly, cooked from what the Mediterranean sea offers freshly every day. The ‘Recipes of the Sea’ are much influences by the many cultural influences from the past: The fish soup Cassola as well as the bread soup Mazzamorru by the Spanish. The Burrida made from cat shark, olive oil, garlic, vinegar and chopped nuts, originating from Genoa.
We look forward to welcoming you to our spectacular, friendly island!
