Italy - Sardinia - Portisco

Portisco base is located in the beautiful "Costa Smeralda" (Emerald Coast), between Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo, only 10 minutes from Olbia Airport. Marina di Portisco, which is a natural green cove, is ideal for sailing tourism and it offers a variety of services in a warm and hospitable environment. Departing from Portisco, you can sail to large number of destinations: Madalena Archipelago is a natural park scattered of unique beaches, among which the famous pink beach (spiaggia rosa) in Budelli. The wild Corsica lies on the other side of the "Bocche di Bonifacio". The northern coast of Sardinia as far as the beautiful and untouched island of Asinara and the eastern coast as far as the gulf of Osorei, which is the preferred habitat of the last populations of "foca monaca" (monk seal). During these trips you can easily find well-equipped shorelines; you can enjoy a lifetime holiday in a exclusive environment. Carloforte is the only populated area in San Pietro Island, part of the Sulcitano Archipelago, which consists of small islands and islets on the southwest of Sardinia. The island's irregural coasts offer many amazing natural landings. In these uncontaminated places it is still possible to witness "la mattanza", the old-fashioned way of tuna fishing. Our yachts are moored in the harbour of Carloforte that intergrates with the caracteristic town. From Carloforte you can follow two main routes, one along the western coast of Sardinia as far as Stintino and one along the southern coast as far as Villasimius. Each route offers various different options, ideal for both those who seek untouched corners of nature with cobalt and turquoise waters, and those who prefer a fashionable vacation. You can hardly find such variety anywhere else. Roman and Phoenix ruins of the towns of Nora and Tharros lie along with exotic vegetation, romantic coves and well supplied shorelines. Being a cultural and geographic bridge to North Africa, Carloforte is also the ideal starting point to Tunisia, which is only 110 miles away.
