Boat charter in Italy · Bali 4.8 in Sardinia / Porto Rotondo / Punta Nuraghe — “Steno” — (2024)

Sardinia's Porto Rotondo is the perfect launch point for a Bali 4.8 catamaran, and Steno exemplifies why. At 14.82 meters, this 2024 model sits at the sweet spot for bareboat cruising: large enough to sleep thirteen guests across seven cabins with six ensuite bathrooms, yet nimble enough to reach anchorages inaccessible to monohulls. The twin hulls mean stability when at anchor in open bays, shallow draft when exploring beaches and rocky inlets, and genuine living space for families and groups who would feel cramped on single-hulled alternatives. On deck, the catamaran's beam delivers twin trampolines spanning the bridging platform—a social hub that defines catamaran life. The saloon and cockpit work as one flowing space, open to the sea and sky, while the foredeck offers a genuine working area rather than a cramped triangle. Below, Steno's cabin layout prioritizes privacy and function: each of the seven cabins connects directly to its own bathroom, eliminating the queues that plague larger charter boats. Heads and showers are properly sized, not afterthoughts. From Porto Rotondo, your week opens to the Maddalena Archipelago's turquoise anchorages, the Corsican coast's granite cliffs, and southern Sardinia's protected bays. The modern rigging—furling mainsail and roller jib—keeps sail handling straightforward. Steno strips away distractions, letting you focus on what matters: good sailing, good light, and good company.
