Here are a few suggestions for regions known for their fantastic foods!

A sailing holiday and good food practically go hand in hand, what a fantastic way to dip your toe into some of the Mediterranean’s gastronomic hotspots than by a sailing holiday? Imagine cruising from one port to the next sampling locally caught seafood, drinking locally produced wine, exotic fruit. Can’t get much better right?

With our hunger and rumbling tummies being at the forefront of our minds, we’ve put a few suggestions together which we think will you give some 'food' for thought..

Balearic Islands, Spain

One word - TAPAS! On a sailing holiday in the balearic Islands not only do you get to visit 5 unique Spanish Islands, you also get to enjoy their food and wine. Spanish food is famous the world over, but the ability to eat out every night in a different port, is just amazing. Add to this the ability to purchase fresh ham and meat products for lunch - just brilliant.  Click here for more about bareboat charter in the Balearic Islands...

Sicily, Italy

Sicily is often described as 'God's Kitchen'. Need I say more?! The many cultures that have conquered and ruled over Sicily have each brought with them their own influences to the cuisine of this island. This has resulted in a rich, full and vibrant menu in this area, making Sicily a gastronomers paradise. Click here for more about bareboat charter in Sicily...

Tuscan Islands, Italy

It may come as no surprise that two regions of Italy appear in this section, as Italian cuisine is famous the world over. Tuscany is the heartland of Italy with its foods reflecting the very best of Italy’s home cooking, it’s roots originating from 'peasant ' cookery. The Tuscans are well known for their superior yet simple dishes, which arise from using the freshest available products. Click here for more about bareboat charter in the Tuscan Islands...

Kornati Islands, Croatia

Croatia may not appear at the top of the list of culinary capitals but it is well worth a mention, not least of all because of its seafood, wines, and my favourite - the green pepper steak (try it if you can!). In fact many of the wine producers in one of the worlds wine capitals, New Zealand, have their family tree firmly rooted in Croatia. Seafood can be bought from the docks, and the fresh food markets are just fantastic. Click here for more about bareboat charter in the Kornati Islands...
