Choose Sardinia for Your Unique Yachting Experience
Sardinia (Italian: Sardegna, Sardinian: Sardìgna/Sardìnnia) is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after Sicily. It is an autonomous region of Italy, located in the Western Mediterranean. Its capital and largest city is Cagliari.
To the west of Sardinia is the Sea of Sardinia, and to the east is the Tyrrhenian Sea, both units of the Mediterranean Sea. The coasts of Sardinia which strech for 1850 kilometres are mostly high and rocky, making it a stunning yachting adventure, with long stretches of coastline, wide, deep bays, rias, inlets and various smaller islands off the coast. A number of large, shallow, salt-water lagoons and pools are located along the coastline.
Sardinia is well known for its linguistic diversity - the indigenous Sardinian language and the other minority languages such as Sassarese, Corsican Gallurese, Algherese Catalan and Ligurian Tabarchino are all spoken on the island.
