Luxury sailing, catamaran and yacht blog

The Western Mediterranean basin is composed of a large triangle of sea between Syracuse to Genoa and Gibraltar. This of course includes Corsica, Sardinia and the Balearics Islands. For those interested in History, this area saw the rise of the Roman Empire and also witnessed the Phoenician merchants and the Greek sailors founding trade counters 3000 years ago.

We are delighted to confirm that S/V Curanta Cridhe will be based in the Med for the summer of 2017. This is great news for the charter guests who enjoyed their vacations on-board Curanta Cridhe in the Caribbean and would like to repeat their luxury vacations in a totally different environment. It is also a wonderful opportunity for everyone who is interested in spending some amazing times in this unique part of the world.

After more than eight weeks of intensive maintenance work at IMS-300 Shipyard, S/V Curanta Cridhe was finally put back into the water. Her summer season in the Med coupled with a strict maintenance program imposed a lot of work on the boat.

Curanta Cridhe is primarily a great cruising boat. She has been designed with blue water circum-navigation in mind and can certainly cruise with style in luxury. But today, we may add more qualities to this superb sailing vessel. We won first place in our multihull class at the 2016 BVI Spring Regatta! What an amazing week we had racing against other catamarans in the beautiful waters of the British Virgin Islands...

Curanta Cridhe, as her name suggests, really has a Brave Heart and she kept on sailing against the NW winds and the ferocious waves with courage and determination. Despite the fact life was pretty hard going, the crew kept a superb morale and maintained safe watches on board.
