Luxury Toys- Sardinia







In Arizona where I grew up, a large boat was about 40 feet and was intended purely for wake boarding. Since our first day in Sardinia I've seen four out of the top twenty largest yachts in the world. Eclipse (number one), Pelorus, 'A', and Le Grand Bleu. When one of these is nearby it makes the cluster of 100-200 footers look like little baby boats. Le Grand Bleu has a sailboat and motor boat resting on the top, usually the tenders are stored inside the boat, but that's hard to do with a mast. There are usually a few helicopters circling somewhere nearby ready to land with new guests.
While smaller than these titans, we've seen some very impressive sailboats as well. They are computerized and can change sails with the push of a button. My favorite is the sleekly styled Swan.
