I LOVE it when water is clear enough to see a boat's shadow on the bottom. What a beautiful place.
🤤 Oh man, you’re so right… that is truely the best! 🙌
Clear enough to see all the golf balls in depth.. It's a shame!
I used to live there...!!!!!! WOW. The US Navy used have a submarine tender at Santo Stefano which is probably where you were talking about at the end. My family and I were stationed there from May of 86 until May of 88...my youngest daughter was born in the hospital at La Maddalena. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.😊😊😊
Wow -- this is INCREDIBLE!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this personal story of yours! Does that mean your daughter can get citizenship?! Also, if you don't mind me asking, what were you stationed there for? (if its not classified info of course!) 🤗
@@KristinasTravels I sent you an email to the Lighthoue account. Have a wonderful week and see you next time..😘
Beautiful story I’m from La Mad I remember when American people lived in my Island now I live in San Diego
I literally couldn't help but smile watching this 🤗
Cheers Braxton 😀 How did your electronics work go?! 🫶
Hi! Just wanted to drop a line and say that your channel has become my go-to source for all things sailing! Your content is absolutely top-notch, and the videography is like something out of a dream. Seriously, you guys are great. sailing TH-cam - pure cinematic magic! Keep it up, and I can't wait to see what adventures you take me on next! All the best from Newcastle upon Tyne!
Beautiful people, beautiful boat, beautiful places
Chuckkkkss! 🥰 Thank you so much, means the world. And when I said we are here because of your support, I truly meant it. Wouldnt be doing this without you! ❤
What a gorgeous spot! Never heard of it ... thanks for bring us along 😊.
Cant wait to see more. Travel safe.
Amazing! Yes, so unique right!! I hadn't heard of them either -- we always hear about Rome, Venice... the Amalfi Coast.. but never these islands!! 🙂
My Parents are from Sicily and my Father served on Sardinia in the Carabinieri in the late 1950's. Two of my cousins went to the carabinieri training academy on Sardinia. My Family & I visited in 2018 it is so beautiful & La Maddalena is a paradise!
We are sailing there in the summer, your video is the best primer for what to expect. I look forward to the next episode. Thank you!
You guys really should have gone for a walk on the Maddalena island, it was one of the most magical places i've ever been!
Its super touristy during the day but if you anchor for the night and go walking on the island at sunset there is no-one around.
Your channel has become one of my favorites. Beautiful scenery and enjoy your interaction with the locals and how you give a brief history of the locales. Positive vibes galore. Thanks for taking us along.
Somebody just had to show us this lifestyle! Lovely
Thanks guys! 😊
Cheers Trev! 🙌
Glad to see your back with the Vlogs - Enjoy them so much - living the dream through you guy's ...... lol
It’s so nice to be back too! We had such a nice little break over the Christmas period it was great, and we were able to see family too which just warmed our hearts 💕 Thank you for being patient with us over that time 🙏 Really grateful! Cant wait to show you more of Italy, and then France - 🇫🇷 Wooohooo!
@@KristinasTravels heading to France in 2 weeks, French Rivera, Nice and Paris. Is that where you're headed... French Rivera???
Wonderful filming and editing , well done, much love from England
Thank you!!! Working on the next edit now :) Ohh.. to live in England.. you're so close to all these INCREDIBLE spots! Very jealous! Lots of love, KC xx
I live in US but I'm originally from Sardinia, one of the best places on earth. Thank you for making me travel back home, beautiful shots and video craftsmanship! I look forward to seeing your experience at the majestic Tavolara island in your next episode, so many wonderful childhood memories :)
I just read somewhere the J55 has a bigger cockpit than most catamarans!!! AWESOME video guys!!! I really enjoyed it :)
This is truuueee! Hard to believe hey!! Cheers legends!! We LOVE your videos too!! The best xxx KC
The pizza run looked awesome. Loved the underwater shot with the super clear water.
It truly was STUNNING!! So very clear, the visibility was insane. And yes.. that pizza.. I still dream about it haha! KC x
I love watching you guys! From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
My favourite part was the town at the end.
Truly!!!! We totally agree! 🥰🍕 KC x
the site is multilingual (5 languages), on top right you can chose the Language, moreover the permit is paid with Credit Cards.
John & Kristina: La Maddalena was special, however quite busy with wake chop and anchoring, etc.. So nice to visit this paradise with you. Kristina's pizza look magnificent, so full of veggies. Your cinematography, editing and content is the best on Utube. We are so fortunate to view Italy through your eyes. Bon Appetite!
Love that you guys go off the path to find local grub and not just find the easy tourist food.
That was awesome. Pizza and wine with a view. Wish I was there
Hi Kristina & John, I just came across your channel and must say I truly enjoy your videos.😊
I also totally agree with you: You can learn any skill at any stage of your life if you really want it. I just learned sailing last summer and I know, for me, it's a passion for life.
I'm wishing you an amazing time on your next travels.⛵
When I travel, I always ask a local where they go as a family after church on Sunday. It has never failed for finding a great place to eat.
🙌🙌 that’s awesome! 😍✨
That Pizza and wine looked glorious.
Hit the spot for sure!! 🥰KC x
Thank you much❤❤❤
Another awesome video thanks for allowing us to enjoy your travels
Always enjoy your videos…love seeing the landscape,the locals and your commentary is great
Great video guys! Something to consider, the yacht cost $600k to rent. That amount does not include provisioning, fuel, marina fees, and any other incidentals- also don’t forget the 15-20% crew gratuity. So by the time you are done, you are probably talking a total cost of $1 million. I have hit golf balls off the back off 😂my friends boat, but we never had to retrieve them as they were made out of fish food. I hate to say this, but the marina fees are going to be going nowhere but up- there has been such consolidation of marinas ownership worldwide. I know by m all the former family owned marinas were all bought up by a huge corporate entity.
Exactly. If your actually using a yacht a good deal and/or putting it up for charter part time as owner it can be better to purchase. If your an infrequent user and go in as a group then it's best to share the cost of a charter.
Your videos are always fantastic to watch
Thank you - so glad you’re enjoying them! Sorry I take a while to edit them, I wish I could put them out sooner, but they take me a couple weeks to edit each, with many hours finessing, so thank you for your support and watching - so grateful! ☺️
I just realized what a nice boat you have. what a great way to tour those islands. All the best.
Very very lucky to be onboard!! Super lucky that Jeanneau put their faith in us 😄 55ft is our biggest boat to date - and she’s niccceeee! A little nervous at first, but feeling right at home now 🥰🙌❤️
Luv these episodes Kristina your narration ya Aussie ways it’s bloody beautiful fun entertainment to turn in as every episode ya never know was what Aussie mischief your going to get ya selves into good on ya all g li ad you are enjoying your adventure as I am enjoying watching luv to ya all
That was beautiful scenery, Yeah and the pizza looked amazing!
Liked this video, showed the trials and tribulations of sailing between islands. 😊
First time seeing a video of yours and i love your vibes!Greetings from Greece!
Thank you so much Jordan!! Appreciate the support - EFADISTO POLI! 🥰
Great video Kristina looks even better than ever (smile) best wishes from Jomtien beach, Thailand
Stunning water, views and the pizza looked delightful! ❤
Palau was the main ferry point from the main island of Sardinia to La Maddalena. The emerald coast is what I remember it being called. Gino's was a popular spot for espresso and fabulous Spaghetti Al tonno. Try some before you leave. Best wishes.
Damn it I’ve a bloody nose and headache from that golf ball ❤❤❤. Nice video and clear blue waters and landscape. Thanks.
Haha 😝 Just trying to wake you up incase you were getting to comfortable 🤣😅🤓⛳️🏌️♀️ x
LOVE the vids , keep them coming 🙂
Thank you!! Working on the next episode now, can't wait to share it with you 🤗 KC x
I think the dive was phenomenal
Awwww!!! YAYAYYYYY!! Thank you SO much! I feel like I've definitely come a long way in the past year haha! Thanks for watching x
The real Mistral passes through the Rhône Valley. It is a natural gorge between the Massif Central in central France and the Alps (Rhone Alps) to the east. With a certain wind direction in the gorge, the excelerating wind is sent from north to south across Provence and the Camarque to the Mediterranean. In winter, it can be a freezing wind that makes even Provence freezing cold. In summer, if you bike south and you're in the middle of it, you can easily reach 50 km/h.
Another great travel video. Thanks
Thank you Bassin! 🙌🙌
Such a spectacular place👌
Loving your videos also you are aussie. I lived in Australia for 32 years and i came back to the Netherlands 7 years ago to be close to my family and to explore Europe. Unfortunately i had an accident and my life has changed completely. So instead of following my dream boat, I enjoy watching your videos instead. Keep them coming. I’m loving them.
Favorite part is your beautiful boat!
I loved to watch your video have fun together ❤❤❤
❤️🥰 feeling the love! So glad you enjoyed it! Working on the next one now 🙂 xxx
Gorgeous boat.
🙌❤️ such a beauty!!!
Another fantastic episode... PERIOD!
Thanks so much Scott -- really appreciate the support friend!! 🥹❤️ Keep the love coming! You've made my day!
Great video, informative and entertaining. Thanks
at 1:16 you are in front of my house, Tavolara Island ! southwards of Maddalena .. hope you enjoyed there as well
Great episode Kristina, lots of fun and... Parli molto bene l'italiano!
Thank you Corrvision!! :) Nice Italian -- you must be practicing your language skills !!
Wonderful episode. Love you both.
Always enjoy these adventures with you...get Kelley on camera more often we barely know she's there sometimes ...she's awesome
My goodness, what a gorgeous view, mouth watering.
Truly!!! This place is AH-MAZING!!
Enjoying these.
Always loved your videos, it will be amazing experience to divine into clear water 🌊💦 You all are having great days to spend your time with nature ❤ Have an Awesome Trip Ahead ❤
John, Google Translate has the option to use your phones camera, so you don't need to type lots of text :)
Great vid btw
Go guys, looks like your having fun 🙂
To sail this region is definitely a dream come true! I think it would be better to visit during the shoulder season next time though - pretty busy is some of those anchorages despite the need for permits and a limit on visitors ☺️
Hi guys! Just subbed! Great boat, great videos, super great people :-) ❤️ Good luck with all your adventures!!!
I lived there for 2 years, it was cool
Wow - incredible!! How lucky are you to have had that experience! 🙌
Wow amazing islands and am now planning my next holiday back to Italy 🇮🇹🍕❤️
Gorgeous - simply stunning! And yes, do it!! Can’t wait to hear more about your travels! Keep us posted 🙌🙌
Great video!! Enjoy Italy!
Thank you so much Jim 🙌 Can’t wait to show you what we get up to in Italy 🇮🇹
My Island ❤
❤️🔥
Thank you for sharing.
Welcome!!! :) Great to have you here x
@9:01 From what I understand, most, if not all, of those large luxury yachts use biodegradable fish food golfballs when the owner or guests practice their golf swings. They don't collect the balls later.
I'm glad to hear that. I thought it was just rich people being wankers, and not caring about the rubbish.
You should take a look at the Cruising Kiwis and what happened to them when free diving. Their son blacked out doing what you were doing. He was an Olympic NZ rower so fit. They also have a follow up video with a world class free diver to review how they should have done it
Looks beautiful!
excellent edit and vid, thanks for sharing. Wish I had the resources and knowledge to do a trip like that. Curious what the water temp was ?
I really enjoyed that; all of it😃
that place looks amazing and that pizza- yum
Every pubblic site Is in italian and english many time ,also spanish and german.
What do u like better?
the boat you're on now or the Cat you hired in the Bahamas.
First tip on diving, try to avoid bending your knees. Try to stretch your body from finger tips to toes.
Some good tips there Mark! Working on it 🤗
What is your ride? Beautiful boat!
Great video, thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the love and support mate. Lots of love, Kristina x
It was great!
W0W!
How cool. Watching from N. California
Hey, Tacana crew. Really enjoyed that! If your J55 really has more head room, I must see about getting one! I'm 6ft2! Enjoyed seeing the sights on your walks around the Island. Weird with that golfer. I enjoy a round of golf, but would not go so far as to practice like that! But... only in La Maddalena! Fair winds.
I think you’d have plenty of head room! 🫶 John is slightly under 6 foot if you’d like to compare in episodes.
Yes, only in La Maddalena! 😂🤣 haha! Fair winds ✨
You know guys, this sudden wind happened to us more in the Balearics and Western Med, but not so much in the Ioanian. This is why we are hesitant to go to Sardinia again, they get crazy storms! Plus, let's be honest, Italian sailors definitely have a different sense of personal space when anchoring... Plus every family has a small motor boat that swarm anchorages during the day, making it super hard to find a spot and relax once at anchor... It's a shame as we LOVE Italy.
Go in a different part of Italy, maybe Apulia
Haha your Italian at the end 🤣🤣 Molto bene
Haha!! Awww you heard it!!!!!! Thank you :) Working on it! 🥰 KC x Ciao!! xx
Love watching tham
Thank you Jarrod! 🙌 Legend mate! We appreciate the love and support! This place really was a dream to experience, film and share with y’all ❤️
Comment for your efforts! Great job.
Cheers legend! That means so much, you have no idea 🙏🙌❤️ Much love, Kristina x
Nice work guys
Чудесные, стройные девушки, яхта - цвет парусов, ну и усы конечно .
As you dive off the boat, keep your knees straight. And extend your toes, point your feet.
Haha, that’s a lot to remember 😅 but us woman can multitask right?? That’s what I’ll keep telling myself, I’ll get there ☺️🙌
you are living dream life
OMG 😱 guys, just a great episode. First, love the 55‼️💕✌🏻️ Second, love how you explore and share whet you are and the people of where you are. My bride and I are look I ng forward to our turn cruising......soon. Third, curious why you film so little of your girl-friend on board with you? She seems nice. See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
Hey Joe! Glad you love the boat and enjoyed the islands - they’re beautiful aren’t they 🙂 Congrats on your upcoming cruising adventure! How exciting. What are your plans?
Kelly is lovely!! You’ll see more of her as the series progresses 🙌 Have a great weekend and thank you always for leaving us a comment, we love chatting to you!
Are you sailing back home to the US or where now? Both video quality and content are TOP !
Thanks legend! Our latest episode wraps up the series and our next episode will be an update on our lives and where we're at :) Thanks so much for being here with us Emanuele 🥰
Amazing video guys ps another phone with google translate looking at it will translate whole screen useful trick
Such a fantastic feature!! 😀😀 And thank you so much for watching 😍🥰🙏 Have the best weekend x
omg, im laughing already because when we were there we had a fire on the beach and got caught by the coast guards but they actually let us finish our BBQ but had to take the dinghies off the beach! oops! lol
Omg guys!!! That’s CRAZY!!!!!!!! Tag the episode here please and I’ll pin it on this feed for people to watch x
Your brother is good at free diving.
Getting better everyday 🙂🫶
What camera gear do you use for your videos?
GoPro, Canon R6 and a DJI Drone, oh, and sometimes our iPhones 🙂🙂
more vlogs to come sugar
Having a name on the boat helps when I am in the helicopter looking for those in need of medical help. In Australia, it is also becoming a requirement, along with larger REGO number on the transom.
Wow!! That’s SUPER interesting! Thank you so much for sharing that info with us all and thank you for your service 🙂🤩✨ Legend! I’m sure you have some interesting stories 😍
@@KristinasTravels Top tips.
1) Don't rely on a desalinator.
2) keep small water bottles filled and stored. Water tanks can become toxic by pollution/salt fast/leak etc(all eggs in one basket).
3) Bad teeth/tooth can become a cardiac emergency fast.
4) Snap rolls on catamarans, too many assume a cat will never heel. When they do, dislocated arms/broken limbs.
Have a grab bag and full water bottle.
Loose sole boards make people abandon the boat in heavy seas. Wood boards flying around are bone breakers.
Have your name on a vessel.
Only use an EPIRB with GPS built in. Up to 8 hour detection time difference if you don't.
dont have the safety tether lines going all the way to the transom.
Have lifting gear ready so the weakest person can lift the biggest out of the water and onto the deck.
Never allow a sole person on deck without being tethered. (People go for a pee and fall over the side. No one knows.
Don't be scared to crawl on the deck if windy.
Keep your EpIRB in the grab bag and not mounted onto the yacht (Like most of us do)
Plot long voyages onto paper. Good skill and useful when all fails.(Fine print on some insurance policies, Including mine... says paper charts must be available)
Use a blanket or sheet to move an injured person. Roll them onto it and drag. Think what are we trying to achieve and dont try and use lessons in a first aid class.
Have a plan as to how people can be moved if injured. For example, If i am injured whilst in my engine room, a line is attached to my ankles and the crew hoist me out. Sounds bad, but now people can do SPR or whatever once i am on flat ground. I have it written as an instruction so no one can be blamed if they drag me out.
Just a few common ones. :)
So proud of you Kristina and John. Well done!😊What’s the deal with your Italian crew member Kelly’s beautiful. ❤”Having your head on a bit of a swivel” some fancy aeronautical jargon?😂 Happy Days 🎉Always with you guy’s.😊A super yacht which costs six hundred thousand a week! This has literally done my head in Kristina. Why on gods green earth would you spend that kind of money with virtually nothing to show for it at the end of the week.😮 well it’s a muggy hot southerly buster here at Redland Bay QLD your not missing anything.😅
Been therre , done that :)
