Tall, white, and beautiful! She has seduced a tall, dark, Norwegian captain.
Fiords, adventure, camaraderie, and treasure islands (well maybe!) all await
you when you set sail on the Sorlandet, the oldest functioning full-rigged
tall ship in the world, captained by Jarle Flatebo.
Superyachts are awesome but a traditional tall ship is as equally inspiring,
evoking images of Christopher Columbus exploring days. A glimpse of the
billowing square sails flapping on the three masts of the Sorlandet, a full
rigged ship built in 1927, will have your heart pounding for the old days
when Russell Crowe Master and Commander types sailed awesome ships and swift
clippers through treacherous seas for Royal navies or traded in exotic
merchandise from foreign lands.
With the desire nowadays to find more unique charter vacations, a step down
the historical lane to the days of true &ldquo... (more)

Mediterranean waters, the regatta goes on until November 14th.... (more)
Once upon a short time ago a French man named François Spoerry had a unique
and watery vision for his yacht. His wish was to create a beautiful home
where he could moor his boat in the backyard – the visionary Gallic was
an avid sailor as well as being a creative architect. And lucky for an elite

Sanremo, an hour’s sail from the French border and a mere 20 miles east
of fairytale Monaco, it is the perfect stop for those who crave the richness

Porto sole! Sanremo boasts a modern and old port, a stylish casino,
magnificent palazzos (including the renowned Nobel Villa), lush green gardens
and an old town that is a haven for artisans. Its night life promises the
best entertainment; you can start by learning the art of the a... (more)
