Virginia is a 2022 Bali 5.4 catamaran based at Marina di Portisco in Golfo Aranci, offering an ideal platform for exploring Sardinia's crystalline waters and hidden anchorages. With five spacious cabins and ten berths, she comfortably accommodates families, groups of friends, or multiple couples seeking a week of seamless Mediterranean sailing. The 16.8-metre catamaran's generous beam and dual 80 HP engines ensure stable cruising and effortless manoeuvrability, whether you're navigating narrow channels between granite islands or anchoring in secluded coves.

Life aboard Virginia balances comfort with authentic sailing. The saloon features air conditioning and a television for quieter evenings, while the cockpit becomes your living room—outfitted with plush cushions and speakers that set the mood as you drift between islands. Five en-suite heads mean mornings run smoothly even with a full complement of guests. The galley is well-provisioned with a refrigerator and a desalination system that transforms seawater into fresh water, eliminating range anxiety. Electric winches and an autopilot reduce physical demands, allowing you to focus on the experience rather than the mechanics of sailing.

From Portisco, a typical week unfolds across the Maddalena Archipelago and the Costa Smeralda's quieter shores. Days blend unhurried sailing with long lunches in sheltered anchorages, afternoon swims in turquoise shallows, and evening aperitivos as the sun descends behind distant headlands. The catamaran's stability and shallow draft open access to anchorages that monohulls cannot reach—pristine beaches, wind-protected bays, and granite-framed lagoons where few other vessels venture. Whether you're anchored off Budelli's pink sand, exploring the underwater caves near Caprera, or sampling fresh seafood in a quiet fishing village, Virginia provides the freedom to shape each day entirely on your terms.

Imagine seven nights unfolding across sapphire waters, waking to the gentle lap of wavelets against the hulls, and ending each day with sundowners at a different anchorage—each more memorable than the last.
