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.

Boating holidays are booming. In the well-known areas and tourist spots, the harbours are full and the crowds are heaving. No wonder, because more and more people want to spend their leisure time on the water. If you ask for a mooring in the Flensburg Fjord or around Rügen on the Müritz, the Frisian Lake District or marinas in Majorca, you get the same answer each time: everything is booked up!
