On 18-19 July 2024, BOAT International hosted an exclusive two-day summer event in Sardinia for members of the Owners’ Club and distinguished VIP guests. Featuring a beach party at Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda and brunch at Romazzino, a Belmond hotel, the event was sponsored by Sardinia Yacht Services, Camper & Nicholsons, Love Brand and Wajer.
Day one: beach party
On Thursday, the afternoon beach party unfolded on the Costa Smeralda at Nikki Beach, a hidden gem accessible only by water, which was exclusively privatised for the event. Guests were greeted with a selection of wine, including Soliànu Vermentino and M de Minuty, provided by Sardinia Yacht Services, and Marchese Antinori's Tenuta Montenisa Cuvée.
Guests spent the afternoon soaking up the sun and enjoying an afternoon with fellow yacht owners. Nikki Beach’s renowned chefs provided a curated menu of fresh seafood and other Sardinian specialties. There was also a cocktail masterclass where guests made a signature Aperol Spritz and Nikki Beach Mojito. A resident DJ set the tone with relaxing tunes.
Later on, guests kicked back in the private cabanas, soaking up the stunning beachfront views and enjoying the handmade Sardinian sorbet, Sa Carapigna, also known as the ancient ice cream for Sardinia.
Day two: brunch
On Friday morning, guests were treated to an exclusive brunch at the newly renovated Romazzino, a Belmond hotel. The resort’s 1960s-style architecture by Michele Busiri Vici, with its whitewashed walls, cream tones and curved architecture, creates a peaceful, retro-chic ambiance.
The resort’s beach grill, Entu e Mari, provided a relaxed atmosphere for the brunch just a stone’s throw away from the sea. Guests were welcomed with mimosas and bellinis before tucking into a vast spread of brunch specialities.
