    I would suggest you move away from the fixation of always talking about expensive yachts, marinas and real estate. Sailing is for everyone and talking about how the 1% live might be good for click bait, however from your subscribers that have been here from the beginning its a shame that this is a focul point for the channel. You guys are awesome as you are and purely telling your story is more than enough to keep us all happy and enjoying for years to come. I hope you see this as constructive feedback and one you look into :)

    Stayed in a place there called Calla di Volpe there some years ago. Had to buy a T shirt from the store which cost $92.00 USD. The way you differentiated between the "small" yachts in the bay and the "large" ones, were that the "small" ones didn't have the helicopters onboard while the "large" ones all had at least one. It was however, a hell of a lot of fun....

    Here is a little story behind your little wireless remote from Raymarine. Dame Ellan MacArthur was solo around the world (c2005) and in fluky winds while at the top of the mast repairing something the boat (Trimaran B&Q/Castorama - Built in Sydney (central coast) Australia)) continued to gybe and gybe in hard mid ocean conditions, so, and on return to England, after the bruises had healed, she insisted B&G develop a wireless remote for the auto pilot. They did, originally it came out in B&G and also then in Simrad Yachting (B&G's parent) brands as a Bluetooth connected device, providing greater range than RF, hence Dame Ellen could easily climb the mast and control the boat in all directions and conditions, she could also take a mobile call while there if needed if running the Simrad unit! Great video. I'm not ever paying $800 AUD for a spot in the water!

    Hi and happy sailing. Porto cervo is expensive, what do you expect? In other marinas in Sardegna or Corsica for your boat in high season you will pay at least 200 Euro/night; however there are plenty of protected anchorages for free. It is better to go on anchor outside south of porto cervo and then enter only with the dinghy. Actually on the right side near the entrance there is a spot that once was available for anchoring. For sure the private marinas will tell you it is not allowed. Always ask the coast guard first. Bye the way, if you come in friday after 17 then I usually send an email to the coast guard asking for permission to stay on anchor if I or my crew is too tired to stay outside. if it is after 17 on fridays then the coast guard office is closed and will reopen only on monday morning. Don't miss La Maddalena , Bonfaccio and Porto Vecchio

    Next time, if you happen to be in Sardegna, you should know that not all marinas are that expensive, just a few km from there prices start to be affordable and with equally beautiful and pristine beaches. Also you could have gone to the Cote d'Azur (I prefer calling it like this instead of French riviera, because Nice, or Nizza, and the small towns close to it were Italian historically, France acquired them later) sailing the Eastern coast of Corsica, yes the route is a little bit longer but the sightseeing is incredible, and to spend some time in Italy you could have stopped in Tuscany, Liguria or Corsica (which despite being part of France, like Nice, it's more related to the neighbouring Italian regions in terms of culture and history and in this case even linguistically)

That Marina in Porto Cervo holly Sh** expensive or what wow. Could you have just anchored or did I hear on the video they charged for that also. Will be interesting to know how much Monaco charges as I know they can give Porto Cervo a run for the money and super yacht Marina's. Anyhow enjoyed this video like I already said and looking forward to next video Cheers be safe

    Hey there Jonathan, haha, that made me laugh, holy sh** expensive is the perfect way to describe it! I wish I could make the title of this video say that hahaha! Yeh.. you're not allowed to anchor in the bay.. police fine people. You have to somehow get on a mooring... which is probably almost impossible to get! ChatGPT just ran this out for me: Here's a list of some of the most expensive marinas in the world: 1. Marina Grande - Capri, Italy 2. Porto Cervo Marina - Sardinia, Italy 3. Marina di Portofino - Portofino, Italy 4. Marina Ibiza - Ibiza, Spain 5. Port Hercules - Monaco 6. Marina di St. Tropez - St. Tropez, France 7. Marina di Porto Rotondo - Sardinia, Italy 8. Marina di Porto Cervo - Sardinia, Italy 9. Yacht Haven Grande - St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands 10. OneOcean Port Vell - Barcelona, Spain These marinas are known for their luxurious amenities, prime locations, and high demand, contributing to their reputation as some of the most expensive places to dock a yacht in the world.
