Embark on a journey to the heart of Italy with a sailboat charter in Sardinia, more precisely in Arbatax, a port village located in the province of Ogliastra. It is a picturesque port of call with its fishermen's houses, its lively and friendly harbor and its wild coastal landscape of strangely red rocks emerging from the turquoise sea.
The Port of Arbatax
Yacht charter in Arbatax is greatly facilitated by the range of services offered by its port: water and electricity, toilets, harbor master's office, pharmacy, gas station, etc. In addition, the staff can assist you with mooring.
You can also carry out maintenance tasks in the port, for example in the event of a breakdown. The port has a rolling gantry crane capable of supporting a boat of up to 127 mastheads.
In addition to these many advantages, it is possible to veer off to various water sports or to take an excursion to the magnificent beaches of the Gulf of Orosei.
things to discover in Arbatax
Before setting out to sea from Arbatax, take the time to explore this village, which is full of marvels. One of the must-see visits is to Rocce Rosse beach. You will be amazed by its scenery of white cliffs and large red rocks. These colored stones have become the symbol of Sardinia and have inspired an internationally renowned festival, the «Rocce Rosse Blues» celebrated every year on site.
If, instead of swimming, you prefer to immerse yourself in the history of the village, take a detour to the Saracen Tower, also known as the San Miguel Tower. Sardinia was occupied by the Arabs in the 16th century and to defend the kingdom, they erected watchtowers along the coast. Arbatax, which means fourteen in Arabic, was built on the site of the fourteenth tower. Exhibitions are regularly organized there, with the added bonus of a breathtaking panoramic view.
