Amazing Alghero kaleidoscopic history and architecture
The old city is closed behind thick fortress walls, interrupted only by solemn towers. The old city has a labyrinth of narrow car-free stone streets bordered by shops and interspersed with tiny piazzas (squares).
Human settlement began in the 4th millennium BCE with the Ozieri culture. This was followed by the Nuraghe civilization around 1500 BCE evidenced by some 100 remains in the neighbouring areas of Sant'Imbenia, plus a Phoenician necropolis and Roman remains near the airport. Later history features the Genoese, Aragonese, Catalans, Spaniards, Austrians, and bloody revolts!
The polychrome dome of the church of San Michele and St. Francis' pointed Aragonese tower dominate the cityscape. The Cattedrale di Santa Maria was built in Catalan-Gothic style and opened in 1593, but a Neo-Classical narthex was added to the façade.
Under-water caves and natural wonders famous in Europe
Alghero gets its name from the abundance of seaweed (alghe) in its surrounding waters. A limestone promontory nearby keeps geologists and biologists enthralled. There’s also rich flora and fauna, with trekking and climbing popular in the area.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
An Amazing Experience: My company is VIP Yacht Charter Group where I offer Glatt Kosher Yacht charters. I transitioned from day to term charters and was looking for a company and broker that I could trust. I reached out to Trina and explained to here that I have a client that was looking to do a week Glatt Kosher charter in the South of France. I knew from our initial call that she was the right person to work with. Trina is extremely knowledgeable in the charter world. The Yacht she recommended was Zeemar a 100ft, 5 stateroom beauty, and there couldn't have been a better yacht and crew for this client. Trina went above and beyond to make sure that everything went perfectly from communicating with the client to Captain and even provisioner. She was always available to talk no matter what time it was. I am so grateful to Trina that this charter went way beyond the clients' expectations.
To the Reverie team: We want to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for us on this trip. You are the best crew we have ever had on a yacht, hands down. Everything has been flawless. Keith’s food has been healthy, tasty, voluminous, and so varied. The toys and tenders were always ready for us when we needed them, and we loved having 3 Sea-Bobs, 3 efoils and 2 jet skis. Always charged and ready to go, from the moment we woke until we went to bed. Our rooms were cleaned so fast we often wondered if there were fairies who appeared and did it. Our washing was done and returned so quickly we wondered if we dreamed it. Service was perfect (thanks Megan and team!) - always nearby when we needed it, and invisible when we didn’t. We aren’t sure how we will survive at home, and there won’t be a drink, a cold towel and a smile waiting for us. Shane - you found us the best anchorages - exactly where we wanted to be - out of the way, out of the wind, but close to everything. We wanted adventures, and you went out of your way to source e-bikes, which ended up being a highlight. We know it wasn’t easy to find or to get them on and off the boat. The smaller things: remembering everyone’s names; the printed AllTrails maps; taking our kids jet skiing. They have all been noticed and appreciated. We know that it isn’t easy to build a team that can create such an exceptional experience. Congratulations to everyone on board - including those behind the scenes we don’t get to see as much. We would love to come back again next year - only if the crew is the same! Thanks so much!
Hey Trina, the charter was perfect! The crew was very professional but always kind and accommodating. Beautiful boat. The captain had the right hookups wherever we went, so it was an amazing trip all around. Highly recommend this boat to your clients. Magical trip!
