Sun, Sea, Sand and Splendour – August Yachting is Sublime
Yacht Charter in August
It's peak summer in Europe and the bright, balmy weather makes August the pinnacle for sailing in the Mediterranean. Stuffed to the rafters with regattas, now is the time to book a yacht charter to escape the heat on land and make the most of the parties that enrich the continent. With hidden coves aplenty, long pleasurable lunches and fine vintage wines to uncork, yachting rarely gets better than this.

In summer, Sardinia worships but one god: the sun. Locals hit remote beaches like Cala Mariolu, a show-stopping crescent of bright-white sand on the east coast, by rib. Or they bronze themselves on Cala Giunco next to a lagoon of flamingos. August is also regatta season. Charter a yacht for Prosecco and parties at Porto Rafael for the Trofeo Formenton or sail to Porto Cervo for the YCCS Members Championship.

Charter a yacht in August for early evening aperitivo, sun-baked medieval architecture and the hubbub of summer.
