Sardinia Yacht Charters

• Comfortable Mediterranean climate
• Short passages and quiet towns
• Numerous harbours

Experience level

Sardinia is both wild and imbued with the trappings of the rich and famous, quiet yet boisterous, subdued yet exciting as its seemingly opposite personalities join to create an adventure under sail. A sojourn ashore at the chic and sophisticated resort harbors of Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo on Sardinia’s Emerald Coast ushers sailors into the heart of one of Europe’s most exclusive vacation destinations. Modern marinas and resort amenities are of the first order.

The Maddalena Islands reveal the Old World side of Sardinia. The rocky cliffs and craggy heights of the coast, the wind-swept beaches of the islands, the secluded bays and coves, it’s as if the passage of time stopped in the 19th century. This is as a Sardinia yacht charter should be – stimulating and indulging, a balm to the spirit difficult to find anywhere else.

Sailing a Yacht in Sardinia

Situated at the northwestern edge of the Tyrrhenian Sea, an arm of the Mediterranean that spans 475 miles in length and 60 miles in width, The Moorings marina in Cannigione is a prime location for the start of a Sardinia yacht charter . 

Sardinia has a very pleasant 6 month Summer, hot and dry from May to October. You’ll likely experience calm winds from the northwest which average between 8 and 12 knots, though they are often stronger in the Strait of Bonifacio between Sardinia and Corsica. The winter months are mild with a good amount of sunshine, particularly in March and April when the flowers are in blossom. 

Sailing conditions are very similar to Sicily and Procida which means a Sardinia yacht charter is a great place to set sail if you have basic skills in coastal navigation. Take a look at our sailing requirements for Italy yacht charters for more information about expected skills and experience.

Why charter a yacht in Sardinia?

A Sardinia sailing vacation unfolds in a wondrous part of the Mediterranean . 

Both the archipelago and the main islands are enchanting cruising grounds regardless of the length of your Sardinia itinerary. They blend the boutique shopping, fine dining, and lively nightlife of chic ports such as Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo with the quiet and scenic beauty of the largely uninhabited Maddalena Islands. Most of all the sailing in these waters is splendid, with good winds an almost everyday occurrence.

Sardinia’s clear waters, rocky coastline and islands offer great scuba diving for the novice through to the seasoned diver. Alghero, on the North West coast is a good base for year round diving in deep sea with many caverns to explore. Diving in warm waters of the Mediterranean during a vacation is definitely the way to have a go! Dive equipment contact information can be requested through the base in the event the client would like to pre-book their scuba diving excursion.

Aside from its incredible scenery, stunning waters and fantastic diving opportunities, Sardinia is also the place to be if you love history! It’s one of the most unique islands in Italy as it’s been populated since the neolithic era so is home to a blend of interesting architecture, archaeological sites and historical landmarks! Many people have questioned whether Sardinia was home to the lost city of Atlantis, a legend created by Plato, a Greek Philosopher from Athens . While this is unlikely to be true, you can make your own mind up as you explore this hidden gem of an island.

Whether you’re a sailor looking for brilliant sailing grounds, a couple wanting to vacation in a beautifully romantic setting or a family who love scuba diving, Sardinia is the perfect place for a yacht charter!

Cannigione Yacht Charter – 7 Day Itinerary

Our Sardinia sailing itinerary takes you to Italy ’s stunningly beautiful Maddalena Archipelago National Park and Marine Reserve and the world-famous Emerald Coast, well known for its superb beaches and myriad of coves and bays. 

On longer cruises you can sail northward to the island of Corsica, France, or transit the Strait of Bonifacio and head south down the northwestern side of the island of Sardinia, where it’s a little less expensive than on the Emerald Coast and much more laid-back. Typically, though, sailors focus on the exquisite cruising in the Maddalena Islands and the bays and harbors of Sardinia’s Emerald Coast, with upscale Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo as the centerpiece. 

The Tyrrhenian Sea has so many incredible wonders to discover, with many islands being very easy to get to. From Sardinia. A short sail north from Sardinia is the Maddalena Archipelago National Park and Marine Reserve, comprised of seven main islands:

• Santo Stefano
• Santa Maria

Across the Strait of Bonifacio in Corsica, France, which is also very easy to get to!

The duration of your Sardinian adventure entirely depends on how much exploring and sightseeing you plan on doing. Whether you spend a week in Sardinia before exploring other parts of Italy, or you take a couple of weeks to relax and soak up the sun on some of Sardinia’s divine beaches, it’s your choice.

Our Sardinia itinerary is based on a 1-week yacht charter which gives you plenty of time to explore islands, ports, beaches, coves, archaeological sites and also relax on the golden beaches. If you follow our itinerary, you will visit:

• Porto Cervo
• Porto Rotondo
• Mortorio Island
• Caprera Island
• Maddalena Island

Want to discover what else Italy has to offer? Take a look at our Procida itinerary and Sicily itinerary .

While you are in Sardinia take the opportunity to visit these breathtaking cultural attractions:

• The Gulf of Arzachena, which reaches so deeply into the mainland that it seems like a fjord, ends in a sensational lagoon that is well worth the visit
• Go scuba diving or snorkeling in the exquisite turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. In order to save you from carrying extra luggage, The Moorings provides snorkeling equipment: flippers, mask and snorkel for your use. The equipment is stored in the office. Just ask the customer service representative for the sizes needed for you and your crew. Learn more about our water sports options .

• The Nuraghe Palmavera is a fascinating archaeological site containing a cluster of large limescale structures, dating back over 3,500 years. Offering you a slice of history, you can learn all about the Nuragic civilization

Sardinia also offers numerous opportunities for fishing either inland on the countless lakes and rivers, or on the coast off the rocks and jetties. You can even see the locals catching octopi and taking them home for dinner!

Some hotels in the north of the island offer trips on The Poseidon, a 14m sport fishing boat with excellent equipment, a very comfortable cabin and sundeck. Inland near to Mandra Edera Farm is Lake Omodeo with stunning scenery and coarse fishing. There is also fishing on the lakes and lagoons that surround Oristano on the west coast. In the south there is excellent fishing at Cala Carbonara where there is an abundance of marine life.

The sailing season in Sardinia runs from April-October, with the best times to visit and channel your inner sailor generally considered to be April-May and September-October.

Most Sardinia yacht charters begin in the popular superyacht marina of Porto Cervo in the north west of the island or nearby Porto Rotondo, a slightly quieter marina compared to its illustrious neighbor. After a short stay here, popular charter itineraries tend to make a beeline north to the beautiful Maddalena Islands where the yacht can spend a day or two in a pretty sheltered anchorage while you and your guests take to the Carribean-blue waters for a spot of diving and snorkeling. 

From here, the world’s your oyster. Sardinia has numerous must-see destinations and you will be hard-pushed to fit them all in. From the lush archipelagos of the north to the wild, untamed beaches found in the south west of the island, and from the glamorous superyacht havens on the north east coast where you can indulge your every whim to the rich historical treasures found in the south, you’ll be spoiled for choice. 

Another popular option is to set off from the Amalfi Coast on Italy’s mainland or Corsica in the north and then cruise down through the Bonifacio Strait. It’s simple enough to begin your superyacht vacation in a neighboring country before heading to Sardinia. For more advice please speak to your yacht charter broker .

Sample itineraries

Most yacht charters tend to finish in Porto Cervo or Porto Rotondo. As well as the vibrant superyacht lifestyle, these places also offer their own bevy of beautiful beaches and scenic beauty, making these the perfect spots to end your memorable Sardina luxury yacht charter. Alternatively, for longer charters you can finish up in one of the neighboring destinations mentioned above. Speak with your yacht charter broker who can advise you further.

• Marina di Porto Cervo - A well-protected marina with its renowned eponymous village offering a prime superyacht hub replete with numerous amenities and attractions. This marina is home to an impressive 700 slips and can accommodate yachts up to 100 meters in length
• Marina di Olbia - Affording beautiful views of the Golf of Olbia, this charming sheltered marina located on Sardinia’s north-west coast offers plentiful cafes and restaurants all within a short walk from the port. With 270 slips, the marina can accommodate yachts up to 80 meters LOA.
• Marina di Porto Rotondo - Also located in Olbia, this round-shaped marina enjoys an impeccable reputation amongst its international Jet Set clientele, with bespoke VIP services and luxury hotels adding to the allure. Porto Rotondo can host yachts up to 80 meters in length and has 652 yacht slips available.
• Portus Karalis Cagliari - Only a champagne cork’s pop away from the Sardinian capital’s town center, this marina is ideal for those looking to explore the region’s historic treasures, glorious beaches and hidden gems. Close to all major transport links, it offers 140 slips for yachts up to 100 meters in length.
• Porto di Alghero - located in the beautiful province of Sassari, this destination is renowned for its beautiful emerald waters and secluded beaches making it a prime stop-off for those looking for an idyllic retreat away from the main hubs. This marina can accommodate 380 yachts with slips available for vessels up to 50 meters LOA.
• Cala Luna - A beautiful curve of sand with magical caves and astonishing clear blue waters abound in this paradisiacal setting. It does get busy in the peak summer months, but after 7pm all the crowds depart, leaving a stunning anchorage to park the yacht and watch the setting sun, cocktail in hand. 
• Passagio della Pelosa - Often likened to a lagoon, this beautiful sheltered cove is considered by some as one of the best anchorages in the Mediterranean, where charterers will be dazzled by the Caribbean-blue waters reflecting the sandy seabed below. This anchorage is an ideal jumping off point to the protected marine reserve of Stintino, with convenient restaurants and shops located nearby in the village and marina.
• Porto Liscia - A pretty peninsula of golden sand beach with cobalt-blue waters and scenic views. The anchorage is well protected and is a popular hangout for superyachts, which means it can get busy.
• Spiaggia di Campulongu - Situated on Sardinia’s south coast, a short hop from Cagliari, this anchorage offers a beautiful calm bay with lots of space and clear waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling from the back of the yacht. There is a convenient marina close by with all the usual amenities, as well as a short walk into town.

With its A-lister appeal, rich cultural history and bevy of world-class beaches, Sardinia is one of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean. Therefore, we advise you to book your yacht charter well in advance of your trip to secure your perfect yacht on your preferred dates. If you leave it too late, the selection of yachts at your disposal will be reduced and you may not be able to explore the destinations you have your heart set on. Plus, finding dates when everyone in your charter party is available can be tricky; the longer you leave it, the more challenging it will be. 

Your yacht charter broker will also need plenty of time to tailor an itinerary to suit you, and enough time to book ahead for the nights you wish to spend in marinas. We recommend booking up to 3 months in advance to give your broker the optimum time to organize everything down to the last detail.

Sardinia Yacht Charter Q&A

Some important things to consider before booking your yacht;

• Marinas tend to get quite busy during peak summer months, so you need to consider that when deciding on what night's you wish to spend in a slip. Ideally, find a yacht that is comfortable with ample leisure and entertainment facilities onboard. 
• Mistrals are quite common during the shoulder months of May and October, so check with your charter broker about the best anchorages and itineraries if you intend on traveling during these months.
• You should also be aware that certain zones in Sardinia's waters are restricted to protect the sea grass, which may impact on where you anchor the yacht. This is something you can discuss with your yacht broker, or yacht captain when deciding on your itinerary.

Due to its popularity during the Mediterranean Season, there should be a wide selection of yachts to choose from, so there is sure to be something that suits both you and your budget.

Why not visit our yacht charter fleet page for a comprehensive look at all yachts available for charter around Sardinia .

Alternatively, you can reach out to your preferred yacht broker , who will be sure to help you find your perfect yacht and itinerary around the dates that suit both you and your guests.

The optimum time for yacht charters in Sardinia is between June and September, with average temperatures in the mid to high 20s, clear blue seas and endless days of glorious sunshine.

You should note that Sardinia's peak season is in July and August, so expect both higher charter fees and crowded marinas during these months.

Most Sardinia yacht charters begin in the glamorous superyacht marina of Porto Cervo in the north west of the island, with popular charter itineraries including the breathtaking Maddalena archipelago, the pretty sheltered anchorages and charming villages found along Sardinia's east coast  and the island's capital Cagliari, awash with historical treasures and rich cultural heritage. 

The island is also renowned for its protected marine reserves and beautiful clear waters where snorkeling and diving are the favorite activities for yacht charters. where the yacht can spend a day or two in a pretty sheltered anchorage while you and your guests take to the Carribean-blue waters for a spot of diving and snorkeling. 

Another option is to begin your yacht charter on Italy's west coast only a short hop across the Tyrrhenian Sea. Alternatively, charters can begin on the spellbindingly rugged island of Croatia in the north, separated only by a narrow strait famed for its sailing.

Once you have decided on your perfect yacht, your yacht broker will then draw up the necessary contract; a legally binding agreement between you and the owner of the yacht. At this point, based on the type of contract, you will be required to pay 50% of the cost of the yacht up front, with an additional 25-30% of this base rate to cover additional expenses you and your guests are expected to incur whilst on charter.

For more information about the costs of chartering a yacht, please read our helpful guide: Yacht Charter Costs Explained , which describes the fee structure in more detail.

The best things to see and do on a Sardinia yacht charter holiday

Yacht charters in Sardinia offer many experiences, from exploring stunning beaches to immersing yourself in rich cultural heritage. Here are some of the best things to see and do on a Sardinia holiday and along the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea and Mediterranean Sea :

Visit Costa Smeralda

Explore the glamorous Costa Smeralda, known for its pristine beaches, luxury resorts, and upscale boutiques. Don’t miss the stunning beaches of Porto Cervo and Cala di Volpe.

Discover the Maddalena Archipelago National Park

Take a boat tour to the Maddalena Archipelago, a group of picturesque islands with crystal-clear waters, secluded coves, and breathtaking views. Visit La Maddalena town and enjoy the charm of its colourful streets and historic buildings.

Explore Historic Sites

Charterers can discover Sardinia’s rich history by visiting archaeological sites such as the ancient ruins of Nora, Tharros, and Su Nuraxi. Explore the medieval town of Alghero with its well-preserved Catalan architecture and historic city walls.

Relax on Beaches

Sardinia is renowned for its beautiful beaches, and guests will be spoilt for choice. Relax on the powdery white sands of Spiaggia della Pelosa, enjoy the turquoise waters of Cala Mariolu or discover hidden gems like Cala Luna and Cala Goloritzé.

Hike in Nature Reserves

Avid adventurers can explore Sardinia’s natural beauty by hiking in scenic nature reserves such as Gola Su Gorropu, Monte Arcosu, and Parco Nazionale dell’Arcipelago di La Maddalena. Discover rugged landscapes, ancient forests, and stunning panoramic views.

Sample Sardinian Cuisine

Indulge in the flavors of Sardinia by sampling traditional dishes such as culurgiones (Sardinian ravioli), porceddu (suckling pig), and pane carasau (crispy flatbread). Try local cheeses like pecorino sardo and sweets like seadas (fried pastries filled with cheese and honey).

Cocktails in Cagliari

As the capital city of Sardinia, Cagliari boasts a lively nightlife scene with a wide range of entertainment options. Head to the historic district of Castello for trendy cocktail bars and rooftop lounges offering panoramic views of the city.

Watersports and Activities

Take advantage of Sardinia’s crystal-clear waters by snorkelling, diving, or scuba diving along the coastline. Enjoy windsurfing or kiteboarding in popular spots like Porto Pollo and Spiaggia di Chia. These activities are ideal for those on a family yacht charter in Sardinia.

Experience Local Festivals

Immerse yourself in Sardinian culture by attending traditional festivals and events. Witness colourful processions, folk dances, and music performances during festivals like Sagra del Redentore in Nuoro and Cavalcata Sarda in Sassari.

Motor yacht charter vs sailing yacht charters in Sardinia

Choosing between a crewed motor yacht and a sailing yacht for your Sardinia adventure depends on your preferences, budget, and the experience you’re seeking.

Motor yachts offer several advantages that appeal to many travellers. They provide greater speed and agility, allowing you to cover more distance along Sardinia’s coastline in less time. With their luxurious amenities, spacious interiors, and onboard chefs, motor yachts offer unparalleled comfort and indulgence. Their stability in choppy waters and ease of handling make them suitable for guests who prioritize a smooth sailing experience or have limited sailing experience.

On the other hand, sailing yachts offer a more authentic and serene sailing experience. With their reliance on wind power rather than engines, sailing yachts provide a quieter and more intimate atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty of Sardinia’s coastline. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and romance with their classic designs and billowing sails, appealing to travelers seeking an authentic maritime adventure. Additionally, eco-conscious travellers often prefer sailing vessels due to their lower environmental impact and reliance on renewable energy.

Ultimately, choosing a motor yacht or a sailing yacht for your Sardinia adventure depends on your preferences and desired level of comfort. Both options offer their own unique advantages and can provide an unforgettable journey along the breathtaking coastline of Sardinia.

Sailing yachts for charter in sardinia, frequently asked questions, where is sardinia.

Sardinia is an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, a part of the Mediterranean Sea, southwest of the Italian Peninsula and just south of the French island of Corsica. It is an autonomous region of Italy and boasts over 1,850 kilometers (1,150 miles) of coastline, featuring stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic cliffs. Sardinia is surrounded by smaller islands and archipelagos, such as the Maddalena Archipelago to the northeast, offering additional exploration and discovery opportunities on your own private yacht charter. These islands often have secluded beaches, hidden caves, and charming villages to explore.

Sardinia’s coastline boasts miles of superlative beaches and secret grottos only accessible by boat. Porto Cervo is at the region’s main center, home to Costa Smeralda. This area has become increasingly desirable for luxury yacht charters because of its remote location and exclusive atmosphere. South of Porto Cervo, you will find forested mountains, medieval villages, and stunning seas. Another recommended site is La Maddalena National Park, a marine reserve that offers opportunities for secluded anchorages and overnight stays. Spotted with seven main islands and many islets, La Maddalena offers crystal-clear waters for an afternoon snorkel and access to the beautiful pink sand beach named Pink of Budelli. Sardinia’s coastal cuisine differs from inland; the seafood base and pasta dishes pay homage to the sea and further contribute to the laidback yet luxurious atmosphere of the island.

Spring (April to May) and autumn (October to November) are great options for Charter guests who prefer fewer crowds.

Yacht charter & sailing holidays in sardinia.

Experience some of the finest sailing in Italy with a yacht charter in Sardinia. A heavenly combination of white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, impressive national parks and world-famous cuisine, makes Sardinia one of the top destinations for sailing in the Mediterranean. 

Italians have long-since flocked to the shores of the Costa Smeralda or Emerald Coast of Sardinia to find their little slice of paradise close to home. The dazzling sandy beaches and azure waters have you questioning whether you are in fact in the Caribbean rather than the Mediterranean. 

As soon as you set sail on your yacht charter in Sardinia from Marina di Portisco, you will be met by a stunning stretch of coastline, dotted with chic towns where the beautiful piazzas are a hub of activity. Soaking up the bustling atmosphere whilst enjoying the delicious local food is a memorable experience in itself.

Continue your sail north into La Maddelena National Park, a marine park scattered with islands and sandy beaches, including the famous pink beach "spiaggia rosa" on Budelli. Visit the delightful harbour at La Maddelana, a fishing village with harbourside restaurants which is incredibly popular during the summer months. The seven main islands of La Maddelena National Park offer peaceful anchorages and an idyllic setting for your sailing holiday in Italy. There is a small overnighting charge for the mooring buoys provided by the park authority.

Take the opportunity to combine the flavours of Italy and France on this sailing holiday. Bonifacio on the French island of Corsica is within easy reach and the dramatic entrance through the narrow opening in the cliff, the “Bocche di Bonifacio”, is not be missed.

These months also fall within the UK school summer holidays, the perfect time for a family holiday, with lots of opportunities for the children to make new friends. Why not try one of our  family-friendly flotilla holidays ? 

For easier sailing aim for the end of the summer when the winds are less intense making for more relaxed sailing conditions.

Shoulder Season

April and October benefit from smaller crowds as well as cheaper flights, great yacht availability and reduced costs.

April - June are the perfect months for those looking for a quieter yacht charter. The winds are milder, the weather is warm and the islands are in full bloom. With the reduced crowds it allows you to enjoy them to the fullest! Autumn Sailing in Greece

Choose the autumn months to avoid the tourist crowds, enjoy the calmer winds and take in the natural beauty of the islands at a leisurely pace.

What is the weather like in Greece?

May & September

The weather is warm but not too hot with average temperatures around 25ºC (77ºF) and the crowds are lower than the peak summer season.

Late May & June

The crowds are still relatively low but the temperatures have started to rise (average 28ºC / 85ºF) and the waters begin to get warm enough for swimming.

July to September

This is when the waters are at their warmest and it is also the peak tourist time due to the school summer holidays. This is a great time for a sociable family holiday - why not try one of our family-friendly flotilla holidays?

This is the end of the main sailing season and a good opportunity to take advantage of lower prices and lighter crowds. The weather is on average 21 - 23ºC and the waters are still warm enough to enjoy a spot of swimming.

Where are the best places to visit in Greece?

Our most popular sailing destination in Greece is the South Ionian due to its easy sailing conditions and endless bays to visit; this collection of islands (Lefkas, Kefalonia, Ithaka, Meganisi, Kalamos & Kastos) is perfect for beginners and families but has a charm that keeps our guests returning year after year.

You can also set sail in the Ionian from well-connected Corfu which has great options for sail-and-stay to combine your holiday with one of the island's highly-rated resorts. When on a yacht charter from Corfu, you can also explore Corfu Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, as well as picture-perfect Paxos.

What are the sailing conditions in Greece?

In general, the best sailing conditions are from April to October when you can enjoy warm waters, clear skies and reliable winds. 

The Ionian is great for year-round sailing however the best conditions are late spring to early autumn. The Ionian has hot, dry summers with calmer winds but stronger gusts can occur in the afternoons.

The Aegean Sea

The Meltemi winds provide reliable sailing in the summer months perfect for more experienced sailors looking for a more challenging charter.

The Rainy Season

Typically the rainy season is from November to March and sailing conditions are not always ideal.

How much is a yacht charter in Greece?

The cost of your yacht charter depends on several factors:

The type and size of the yacht you book will dictate the price. A 1 week charter on a 2 - 3 cabin monohull starts around £900 in low season whereas 1 week on a luxury catamaran with a skipper in high season could be upwards of £10,000. These are the 2 extremes of the scale for a 1 week charter and we offer plenty of choices in between.

Charter duration

1 week is a popular choice amongst our sailors and makes the perfect getaway however, a longer charter will give you more time to explore all the Greek islands have to offer. We have a range of 1 and 2 week flotillas, as well as custom bareboat bookings which can be tailored to your timescale.

Time of Year

Lower-priced yacht charters are available in the off-season of April, May, September and October with prices starting to rise in June before peaking in July and August.

Don't have any sailing experience? No problem! We offer several skippered and crewed options so you can enjoy the yachting lifestyle without the stress. From a simple skippered yacht to fully crewed options, we can arrange a charter to suit your needs.

Flotilla vs Bareboat

Flotilla yacht charters are more expensive than a bareboat charter, but for the extra cost, you are getting the assistance of a lead boat with an experienced crew who are ready to help if you need assistance on your voyage. The flotilla lead crew also arrange social activities and lead you on a carefully curated itinerary. Flotillas are great if you enjoy the social aspects of sailing and are perfect for families, especially during school holidays. Children enjoy making new friends, while adults can unwind and connect with like-minded sailors.

If you are experienced and prefer to discover the islands at your own pace then a bareboat charter is the perfect choice for a relaxing holiday in The Med.

Lower-priced yacht charters are available in the low-season of June to the end of October with prices starting to rise in November before peaking from December to April.

What are the mooring fees like in the Caribbean?

The mooring fees in the Caribbean vary depending on your sailing destination. There are very few marinas compared to sailing in the Mediterranean so most nights you are on anchor in a bay with a classic Caribbean white sand and palm tree beach.

In areas such as the British Virgin Islands, many locations have laid buoys which cost around US$30/night and give you a safe mooring within minutes of sailing into the bay.

What qualifications do I need to sail in the Caribbean?

Although useful to have one, a sailing license, certificate or qualification is not required for a Caribbean yacht charter, however, our partners will need to see a complete sailing resume.

The sailing resume for a Caribbean yacht charter must demonstrate experience as a skipper of a similar type and size (within five feet) of the yacht as the one you are looking to charter. The experience should also be recent and the company will look for experience within the last five years. 

How long does it take to sail the Caribbean?

A 1 - 2 week charter will give you the optimum time to explore the Caribbean islands, from the palm fringed white sandy beaches to the hidden coves and underwater paradise. Our knowledgeable team can assist you with a custom charter to suit your needs.

We have various 1 and 2 week sailing itineraries for bareboat sailing holidays in the Caribbean that have been personally tried and tested by our team.

Do I need air conditioning in the Caribbean?

The Caribbean islands experience warm temperatures year-round, averaging 28-32 o C.

The majority of yachts have fans onboard to keep you cool when below deck and the majority of our clients find this to be sufficient.

Some yachts also provide air conditioning. Our experienced team can advise you on which yachts have air conditioning if this is a priority for you.

Sardinia Sailing Journal by Hannah, Nautilus Yachting

This was my first time sailing in Italy and I was beyond impressed with not only the fantastic sailing winds but also the variety of jaw-dropping scenery. As a crew, we were pleasantly surprised by the manageable sailing distances between a range of daytime and overnight anchorages and ports, which easily allows for itineraries taking in multiple stops or covering some longer passages.

While it is a more expensive destination compared with Greece, for example, it is definitely rewarding for those looking for a challenge and a change. A week is never enough to explore everything on offer in this region but the amount you can sail and see in that time makes this a perfect destination to combine a week’s charter with a week onshore relaxing, biking, or kitesurfing, all popular options for twin-centre holidays in Sardinia.

Day 1 - SATURDAY - Arrival in Portisco

The taxi from Olbia airport to Marina di Portisco was about €55 for two people with luggage and took 20 minutes. There is provisioning in the marina minimarket, this is small but has a reasonable selection to stock up including speciality items for BBQ and a fantastic deli (as to be expected in Italy). The fresh fruit & veg selection was not great but this may be due to arriving late on a Saturday afternoon. It is also quite expensive as there is no other option nearby and there are no niche items eg. gluten-free, vegan etc. There is no delivery service but you can easily push the trolley back to the boat. I would probably recommend pre-provisioning for a large crew or late arrival.

After a busy day, there are two restaurants in the marina plus some snack bars/cafes. Food is reasonably priced and you can always just have a pizza for the cheap option!

Day 2 - Sunday

Heading South! The full and thorough area briefing by Sergio on Sunday morning is not to be missed. Full of great local information about procedures, safe harbours, and hazards. Due to the strong winds north of the harbour on our first day, we decided to head south and take it easy. Moresca (lunch stop)

This was a pretty little bay but a bit too close to a fish farm and also busy with local “day boats” from Olbia because of the weekend.

Tavolara (overnight)

A great anchorage with lots of space, a nice sandy beach and impressive scenery. There are mooring buoys but these are for the stylish Italian speed boats so are expensive and unnecessary, holding is good for anchoring and free-swinging. I would suggest avoiding the weekends as you get a lot of day trip boats from Olbia, but they usually leave between 5-7 pm so it is very relaxing overnight. Two restaurants in the bay (one casual, one upmarket), most of their trade comes from the day trip people at lunchtime so they are not always open for dinner in the low season but if there are enough yachts they will.

Day 3 - Monday

Exploring La Maddalena

Setting off early we navigated around the eastern end of Tavolara to keep a clear heading north towards La Maddalena National Park. The permit for which is easily purchased in advance online. We perused many of the potential stops on route to our final destination for the evening.

Porto Cevro – Pop in

This is a very tight and exclusive marina for upmarket superyachts and elegant classic vessels. There wasn’t much going on in the early season but I am sure the atmosphere in July & August is great if you are looking for a night out in the Monaco of Italy. You can also moor on the quay or floating pontoon in nearby Porto Vecchio for a quieter (and cheaper) night.

Caprera, Porto Palma

This is a very "nice" bay, nothing overly special but the approach is easy without too many hazards, the water is good for swimming and there is lots of space and it is well protected from nearly all wind directions. You can take a buoy or anchor.

Cala di Villa marina, San Stefano

This is a tricky rocky little bay but it offers great shelter and scenery if you can get a space, it is suitable for lunch or overnight. The sculpture of Garibaldi in the rockface on the cliff is not to be missed!

Maddalena Town, Maddalena Island

This looked very large and busy so we avoided it as we were already fully stocked with food and water so there was no need for a pit-stop yet. It would be great if you need shelter as there are lots of harbour options with 4-5 different marinas/quays!

Palau, Sardinia  – this looks cute from a distance, not as large as Maddalena town but still with a good number of berths and is very close/accessible for an overnight if you are struggling to get in elsewhere.

Cala Corsara, Spargi Island

At the South end of the island, this is a great lunch stop or overnight anchorage with a great beach and some fantastic scenery. All of the “day boats” and motor yachts leave around 5-6 pm when it becomes very peaceful and the local pigs frolic on the beach!

Day 4 - TUESDAY

Fantastic sailing to Bonifacio, Corsica  The journey from La Maddalena park area to the southern tip of Corsica is a sailor’s blue moon with the right angle and amount of wind for a perfect passage. We set off first thing and arrived by lunch to enjoy the afternoon sightseeing.

Bonifacio is incredible and definitely worth a visit. You should definitely pre-book a mooring online in advance (a few days should be sufficient) as we nearly struggled to get a space in May. The cost with power and water was approximately €70 for a 38ft monohull.

There is plenty to do, see, eat and drink in town. You can stock up on French pastries and wine but you will need to break out your French! When it's warm I recommend catching the tourist train up the hill into town and then walking back down later. There are several walking trails around the down with fantastic views so if you prefer exercise then definitely take a stroll out of town.

Day 5 - WEDNESDAY

Lavezzi Island, France  We left Bonifacio late and full of croissants so opted for an easy afternoon and overnight anchorage in nearby Lavezzi island en route back to Italian waters. While from a distance this island does not appear to offer enough shelter overnight, once inside the bay we were well-protected and comfortable. Navigation around the many rocks is a little hair-raising but quite manageable with a good look-out and there is plenty of space and good holding. As usual, the day boats disappear before sunset leaving just sailors and seagulls.

Day 6 - THURSDAY

Cala Coticcio & Cala Portese Fantastic sailing again across the straits of Bonifacio, downwind this time, as we watched on in awe as a regatta of high-performance and classic sailing vessels steamed past us with ease. Stopping at Cala Coticcio for lunch is one of the most popular beaches in the Maddalena Archipelago. It is a gorgeous spot but does get quite busy and is not great for an overnight anchorage as the hills create some interesting wind gusts throughout the evening and overnight as the temperature changes. Heading just south to Cala Portese is the popular option recommended.

Day 7 - FRIDAY

Cala do Volpe & Portisco Marina  We spent a lazy final day ambling down the Sardinian coastline and anchoring for lunch in Cala di Volpe, a huge bay with long beaches and a perfect pit-stop before returning to Portisco marina for check-out and departure.

What better way to mark a special birthday than sailing with a group of  your closest friends.  We could not have chosen a more stunning, glamorous destination.  Sailing from Sardinia with Boomerang Charter over to Corsica and back.  

This heady mix of uniquely Sardinian & Corsican cultur e ,  language, wine and food delivered a celebration beyond our expectations.

Incredibly, in eight years of sailing this was the most amount of time we have spent under sail covering 149 miles and broke 8.8 knots!

Day 1 - Portisco

A short 20 mins transfer from Olbia airport to the base at Portisco and straight onboard  our Sun Odyssey 490 ‘Aurora’.

It is for good reason that the Boomerang team are consistently one of our top rated fleets in mediterranean.  

‘Aurora’, as we would expect, was in immaculate condition.  Boomerang maintain and clean their yachts to the highest standards but it is the thoughtful touches they provide that sets them apart especially for a special occasion.  The abundant fruit basket and sparkling wine were very much appreciated.

A friendly and thorough show around the yacht and a briefing of the area was given by Sergio; useful tips, highlights and hazards all pointed out.

Our pre-provisioning was delivered by Gusto Cambusa.  As a largish crew it was a good idea to have the heavier items brought straight to the yacht.  A top up shop was then required in the adequate supermarket within the marina to top up with fresh fruits, salads, deli meats and cheeses.

Some obligatory bunting strung around the cockpit for the birthday boy ! and then we were lucky to be able to take advantage of our   early embarkation  a nd set sail .

All in all an early morning flight and a long day so we moored up not far away from Portisco and cooked a lovely meal onboard.  Let’s get the party started.

Day 2 - Arzachena Bay

Early morning and the weather looks to be fair for our  first dip in the ocean followed by a hearty breakfast

The plan had been to sail to the north side of the Maddalena National Park however a squall mid passage caused us to double back.

These things happen and we found shelter in ‘Arzachena Bay’ with its impressive Neptune sculpture where we were quickly joined by dolphins to lift our spirits

There is a nice restaurant here which looked to be p opular  despite the weather but we decided to cook onboard and make our own fun.  

Day 3 - Maddalena National Park

A beautiful sunny day to wake up in the wonderful Maddalena National Park is nestled between Sardinia and Corsica.

We made a brief stop at Gavetti Marina to enjoy a wander around the so pretty, venetian style streets with pastel coloured buildings.   We enjoyed b outique style shopping  and there were some wonderful bars and restaurants.  There is also an excellent fish market right in the marina and a whopping supermarket just on the outskirts of the town.

Skipper Tim was happy that we finally managed to secure a basil plant for the cockpit.

Back on track we had a fun afternoon at Cala G Marino, a beautiful bay between Isola Razelli and Budelli. Paddleboarding, diving competitions, water hammocks and a friendly visiting Seagull. 

While it is necessary to obtain a permit to visit the Madalenas in mid and high season. During our visit in early June it was not possible to advance purchase one and the authorities, although visible, did not charge us.

Like many people we had been under the impression that this exclusive area,   playground of the rich & famous ,  would be pricey and this is undoubtedly true in the high season. However, by eating onboard (not every night !) and choosing our moorings carefully we managed to avoid costly marina fees and permits.

It was so lovely here we decided to stay overnight. More great food and hilarity and a stunning full moon.

Day 4 - Corsica

 And we head to Corsica !

Up and coming captain Gus was put through his skipper skills today! Sailed to Cala di Zeri on Ile Cavello for lunch and afternoon anchorage.  An equally stunning location with fabulous holiday homes discreetly nestled amongst the rock face.

Lots of relaxing and swimming.  As the afternoon progressed a flotilla of jet skis came through to dramatic effect.

Our overnight anchorage at Baie de Rondinara.  There is a restaurant here that is open until around 6 o’clock. In the mornings they also provide french pastries for breakfast - mouth watering pain au chocolat, pain almond and croissant; all at such reasonable prices it would be rude not to!

Day 5 - Bonifacio

Bonifacio! has to be high up the bucket list of destinations for any sailor and a place I have been longing to visit for many years.

An epic sail along the rugged coastline escorted by pods of dolphins, to the jaw dropping cut in the cliffs where the old town teeters above and leads to the historic town of Bonafacio.  The entrance only visible when you are right on top of it winds it way  i nto this charming, bustling harbour. 

Here you will find yourself   neighbours with some of the world's largest superyachts.  Watching ‘‘Cocoa Bean’ mooring at the far end of the harbour with her crew of around 25 was a sight to behold.

Being early June we paid 85€ for our 49 footer which was pretty reasonable   whilst this is likely to be more in the high season i s  worth every euro and  d efinitely not to be missed.

Climb the steep steps up to the old town to experience incredible views where you will find} plenty o f  restaurants and bistro’s offering delicious french cuisine; corsican mussels, wild boar (sanglier) followed by an icecream down at the harbour to finish off the evening nicely.

Day 6 - Spargi and La Maddelena

The next morning some of the crew walked up to the cliff top again to take one of the nature trails - the left hand fork this time away from the town   rewards you with   unbelievable views of the ocean.

A good day sailing to Isola Spargi, Cala d’Alga; a relaxing lunch onboard and then an afternoon swim ashore.  We were surprised  and  delighted to see a wild boar frollicking on the sands.

We then headed back to La Maddelena to explore this delightful town and have the obligatory team pizza night. It’s worth booking Gavatta Marina ahead of your visit as it is understandably popular, we hadn’t but found a  new ish marina ‘di Punta Nera’  just a short walk over the hill into the main town.

The   marina crew  were very friendly and charged just €60   and the   small bar serving sundowners and snacks was our perfect pre supper Sundowner spot.   For a group meal we can highly recommend the rustic pizzas and jugs of very good house red wine at Il Curciareddhi - simple but delicious and well set up for larger groups.

Day 7 - Back to Portisco

A good day under sail  back to Portisco excellent winds - 8.8 knots made it good fun for all of us . Just a couple of yachts ahead of us on the fuel pontoon then a guide was sent to bring us back to the Boomerang jetty.

Day 8 - Farewell

Our return flight was mid afternoon. The lovely Boomerang staff were happy for luggage to be left and we were given directions to the nearest beach, a short stroll over a hill. We whiled away a few hours at the f a bulous beach bar enjoying a leisurely brunch before heading back to say farewell to o ur  great f riends  at the base and jump in our minibus transfer back to Olbia Airport.

 Arrivederci  ( and  A u Revoir! )

Sardinia is famous for its designer boutiques, exclusive bars, quaint cafes and laid-back lifestyle. It’s an island rich in culture, history and natural beauty.

The uninhabited island of Mortorio makes for an idyllic location for an overnight anchorage.

On a Sardinia yacht vacation, you will also discover ancient towns and hilltop villages.

The Sardinian language, Sardo, is still spoken on the island along with Italian as well as several other local dialects.

More about a Sardinia Charter

A charter in Sardinia, Italy is quite an experience. Sardinia is a universe unto itself. It's an island of Italy, where the local language is incomprehensible to all other Italians. An island with one of Europe 's most stunning coastlines; it's waters teem with fish; it's golden sands disappear into oceans of blue; it's rugged mountains are covered with flocks of sheep producing cheese so pungent, your palate will never forget.

Sardinia is completely unique and the perfect place for a yacht charter holiday that mixes excitement with the exotic. During the summer private boats flock to Sardinia. With an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, concentrated from April to September and warm winds off the African continent, the Sardinian climate, can be quite delightful and not quite as hot as other yacht charter areas in the Mediterranean.

You'll find that the Sardinian ports and harbours compare very well with the Mediterranean’s other chic hot spots on the French Riviera or Italian Riviera . Summers tend to attract lovely warm days and crowds of millionaires, supermodels and luxury yachts, especially to the prestigious Yacht Club Costa Smeralda at Porto Cervo , near Olbia .

For those whose interests are a little more adventurous, Sardinia's humble bays and ports will allow you to explore some sheer and stunning terrain. A good start is the Grotte di Nettuno (Neptunes Caves) on the beautiful Capo Caccia to the north.

The Sardinian yachting scene has increased in popularity and gone from strength to strength of late, and the types of luxury charter yachts available are all the main types, including motor, sailing, skippered, crewed yachts, catamaran, power boat, sailboat, luxury yachts and the ever more frequent superyacht charter.

As with other parts of the Mediterranean and Italy, the Sardinian yacht chartering season generally runs from April to the end of October. The summer season in July and August is the hottest and tends to have lighter winds. This is also the high season as far as yacht charter goes.

Plain sailing with all the wind you need

Sardinia has a typical Mediterranean climate with three main winds to ensure great conditions for sailing: The powerful Maestrale - from the north down along the west coast, the strong Ponente - offshore west wind breezes through each season, and the warm Scirocco prevailing on the east coast.

Diverse landscape and geography

Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean. The island is 270 km from north to south and 145 km from east to west. It’s 190 km away from the Italian mainland and 12 km from Corsica . It has an interesting geography with mountains over 1,800 m. The rarely seen rain comes mainly in the winter and autumn.

The gorgeous Sardinia marine coastline

There are hundreds of private coves and stunning beaches along the coastline that beckon you to explore and plunge into. Find mysterious solitude in the myriad of hidden bays and large salt-water lagoons and pools.

With a Sardinia yacht charter, you’ll enjoy gorgeous crystal clear turquoise waters varying in all shades from green to blue.See the dramatic rock formations in the north and mesmerizing dunes on the west. Check out the relaxed sophisticated ambiance of the famous Emerald Coast . There are endless opportunities for exploration, relaxation, and pleasure on a Sardinian yacht charter.

Sardinia has a strong environmental ethos

Over 25% of the island's territory is protected - with three national parks – Asinara, Arcipelago di La Maddalena , and Gennargentu . There are also 60 wildlife reserves, 5 W.W.F oases, 25 natural monuments, and a Geomineral Park, preserved by UNESCO. There are many marine reserves and the best way to experience this natural bounty is by boat.

The island has laws prohibiting new building activities near natural and cultural sites. Wind and solar power have increased noticeably in recent years. Carlo Rubbia, Nobelist in physics, is creating an experimental solar/ thermal energy using Jatropha and Colza oils.

Rare native animals and plants

Sardinia is home to the Mediterranean Monk Seal, the Giara horse, the Albino Donkey, the Mouflon, the Sardinian Long-eared Bat, the Sardinian Deer, the Sardinian Fox, the wild boar, and the Maghreb, a skink that can reach 30 cm in length, and the Great Spotted Woodpecker.

The Famous Mediterranean Sardinian Cuisine

Sardines, rock lobster, squid, tuna, scampi, bottarga, and other seafood are predominant in Sardinian cuisine. This is fresh and simple Mediterranean seafood at its best. Also, wild boar and suckling pig are spit-roasted or boiled in bean and vegetable stews, thickened with bread. Your personal chef on your yacht will be able to gather fresh local Sardinia ingredients and create Sardinia inspired cuisine to your taste, as well as any other cooking styles your request.

Rich cultural customs still alive

Sardinians remain enthusiastic warm-hearted hosts. The native language is widely spoken on the island, as well as Italian. Sardinia is home to one of the oldest forms of vocal polyphony, known as Cantu A Tenore, which Frank Zappa and Peter Gabriel have found irresistible.

Sardinian culture is alive and well, and young people are actively involved - with carnival costumes and a unique three reed-cane instrument. Sardinia has produced notable jazz musicians such as Antonello Salis, Marcello Melis, and Paolo Fresu. Goat and sheep rearing are still important for cheese making. Crafts include rugs, jewellery, textile, lacework, basket making, and coral.

Intriguing ancient history with fascinating remnants

Sardinia has a unique heritage dating from 4000 BC - including the Phoenician sailors, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Saracen raiders, Spaniards, and African Berber pirates, famines survived on wild ferns and weeds, kidnappings, and political subversion. Much of this history is apparent from remnants and influences on the coastline and can be seen from your boat. Some of the best sites, however, require a shore trip and you can ask your captain or charter broker to organise this for you. Here are a few fascinating remnants: • Giants' Tombs – at Aiodda near Nurallao-Nuragus and Coddu Vecchiu • Nuraghe – megalithic round tower-fortresses such as at Su Nuraxi di Barumini - a UNESCO World Heritage Site • Castle - 13th century,  at Acquafredda near Siliqua • Necropolis - Anghelu Ruju • Temple - Antas • Romanesque church - of Santa Maria del Regno • Catalan Gothic church - 16th century, at Assemini • Ghost villages and industrial architecture – at Argentiera • Paintings from the 15th century – at Benetutti church • Fascinating cave – at Bonu Ighinu

Sardinia has strong traditions in darts, football, and car racing. Sassari has the Mores Raceway and Cagliari has hosted Formula 3000 racing. Olbia has hosted the Rally d'Italia Sardegna in the FIA World Championship - held on narrow, twisty mountainous roads around the glamorous town of Porto Cervo.

Of course sailing is big here! Cagliari hosts regular international regattas, such the RC44 championship, the Farr 40 World championship, and the Audi MedCup. Several America's Cup contenders have been attracted here, and part of the Louis Vuitton Trophy was held in the Maddalena archipelago in 2010. Porto Pollo is popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers by virtue of a western wind that accelerates between Sardinia and Corsica. In 2005, Aglientu, hosted the Kitesurf World Cup.  Sa Istrumpa, also known as Sardinian Wrestling, is a traditional Sardinian sport, officially recognized by the Italian National Olympic Committee.

Sardinia is perhaps one of the most well-known places for yacht racing and superyacht regattas and the annual sailing events include the Sardinia Cup , The Pendennis Cup , the Dubois Cup , the Superyacht Regatta and more.

Inland transport

The best way to get around on a Sardinia holiday is by sea, on your own bespoke luxury private crewed charter yacht. For those who do venture inland a driver and car can be organised to pick you up from your yacht. Sardinia has a system of dual carriage freeways that connect the main towns and transport infrastructures with a relaxed speed limit of 90 km/h. The secondary inland and mountain roads get narrow with many hairpin turns. With a low population density, the smallest territories are reachable only by car. Trains also connect the whole island.

Your Sardinia yacht charter vacation – with yacht rental or crewed yacht – can take you anywhere around this jewel of the Mediterranean. A wide range of superyachts, luxury yachts, and charter yachts is available to suit your needs.

About Sardinia

Why is Sardinia a good sailing destination?

With its enchanting mix of crystal-clear waters, dramatic landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture, Sardinia makes for an unrivaled sailing destination, and Yachting.Rent is here to help you discover why.

Sardinia’s coastline is one of the most varied and spectacular in the Mediterranean. The island is known for its stunning array of secluded coves, pristine beaches, and charming harbors. The famous Costa Smeralda, or ‘Emerald Coast’, is renowned for its turquoise waters and beautiful sandy beaches, while the archipelago of La Maddalena boasts some of the best anchorages in the region.

The island’s winds also make for exciting sailing. The mistral wind from the northwest is most common and offers a consistent breeze for great sailing, while the thermal winds in the summer make for calm and relaxing cruises. Whether you’re an experienced sailor looking for an adventurous journey or a novice seeking a tranquil sailing holiday, Sardinia’s waters cater to all.

But the delights of Sardinia are not just restricted to its waters. Step ashore and explore the island’s diverse landscapes, from rugged mountains to dense forests and tranquil lagoons. The island is also steeped in history, with numerous archaeological sites to discover, including the ancient stone towers known as nuraghi.

Sardinian culture is as captivating as its landscapes. The island boasts a unique culinary scene, featuring local specialties such as bottarga, pecorino cheese, and mirto, a berry liquor. The local festivals, or ‘sagre’, offer another glimpse into Sardinian traditions and are a must-visit.

With Yachting.Rent, exploring the charms of Sardinia has never been easier. Experience the beauty of this extraordinary island at your own pace, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Sardinia

At Yachting.Rent, we are passionate about helping you experience the thrill and beauty of sailing in Sardinia, one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Offering a stunning combination of crystal-clear waters, breathtaking landscapes, and a rich history, it is a paradise for sailing enthusiasts. The question is, should you choose a sailing boat or a catamaran for your journey?

Sailing Boats Sailing boats offer an unparalleled sense of tradition and connection with the sea. With their sleek design and powerful performance, they are perfect for those seeking an authentic, hands-on sailing experience. Sailing boats are ideal for navigating through Sardinia’s smaller bays and harbors, and offer a more exhilarating ride when the wind picks up.

Catamarans Catamarans, with their dual-hull design, provide a unique blend of space, stability, and speed. They are an excellent choice for groups and families, thanks to their roomy interiors and wide decks that are perfect for sunbathing or enjoying meals alfresco. The stability of a catamaran means less rocking, which is especially beneficial for those who are new to sailing or prone to seasickness.

At Yachting.Rent, we offer both sailing boats and catamarans in a variety of sizes and styles, all maintained to the highest standards of safety and comfort.

1. Professional Guidance : Our experienced team can help you decide between a sailing boat and a catamaran based on your group size, sailing experience, and personal preferences.

2. Wide Range of Options : From compact, agile sailing boats to spacious, luxury catamarans, we have options to suit every type of sea adventurer.

3. Qualified Crew : If you prefer, we can provide a skilled and knowledgeable crew who can handle the vessel while you relax and take in the stunning Sardinian vistas.

4. Customized Experience : We can tailor your sailing adventure to your needs, whether that means finding the best spots for swimming and snorkeling, guiding you to hidden coastal gems, or simply ensuring you have the most comfortable journey possible.

5. Safety : All our vessels are equipped with top-notch safety equipment and maintained regularly to ensure you can focus on enjoying your sailing adventure with peace of mind.

A Rugged Island in an Emerald Sea

Take a sailing journey along the pink granite coastline of this fascinating Italian island: relax and explore, enjoy the mouth-watering cuisine and excellent wines, and learn about Sardinia's 4000-year history and traditions. Sardinia with its many offshore islands is a place of dazzling white beaches and sheltered coves backed by rugged hills and farmland cultivated through the ages and all surrounded by emerald green waters.

For years Sardinia has attracted recreational sailors for its steady breezes that make yachting a popular sport on the island, and it's increasingly one of the Mediterranean's 'go to' charter holiday sailing destinations. There’s a well-developed sailing industry infrastructure, with many modern marinas around the coast. Alternate your overnight stops between the convenience of tying up in town and the freedom of dropping anchor in one of countless beautiful coves, and have a very special Italian summer holiday.   

A yacht charter in northern Sardinia can also include a part of France, with the equally enticing Corsica lying just to the north. 

Spoiled for Choice in Planning a Sardinia Sailing Charter

Sardinia is well served by yacht charter bases. Your first challenge is to decide your point of entry and where, among all the choices, you want your charter to take you. Airports at Olbia and Cagliari provide regular services from Europe, with Alghero in the west another option, particularly if combining your charter with a road trip.

Northern Sardinia is the most popular sailing charter destination, with its Costa Smeralda, Maddalena Archipelago and proximity to Corsica. Towns with charter bases include Olbia, Cannigione and Portisco, to name just three, any one of which is worth spending some time in and around before you set sail.

You’ll want to spend some time exploring La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, where visiting with your own boat/accommodation gives you a huge advantage over day travelers. These islands are simply charming, despite their popularity, where you can enjoy days of excellent sailing and holiday fun.

Back on the mainland coast, cruise the Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) and call in at Porto Cervo at the heart of this wealthy part of Sardinia, used for centuries as a meeting point for sailors from near and far. The beaches are the main attraction along tis coast, but there are numerous options for excursions and other activities if looking for adventure as well as holiday relaxation.

Just 20km north of La Maddelina National Park is the French island of Corsica and the port of Bonifacio. This stunning "City of Cliffs" is not to be missed if travelling in the area!

Southern Sardinia is considered a separate cruising ground on a seven day charter - the island stretches some 250km from top to bottom. Marinas at Cagliari (Sardinia’s largest city and capital) and the island municipalities of Carloforte and Sant'Antioco provide options for sailing the region, an equally enjoyable - and quieter - alternative to the north. Exploring the coastline around Chia, with its picture-perfect sandy beaches.

Arbatax on the east coast opens up further options, particularly for an extended cruise north and south. 

Our client reviews about charter sailing in Italy

Rating: 5 / 5 Well, back home now, but what a fantastic trip we had! Two weeks is way better than one, plenty of time to relax and enjoy what the Cilento coast had to offer. We went as far as Isola di Dino, just south of Maratia. Everisto from Star Sail was most helpful in giving us the heads-up on the best spots to go, and even booked a restaurant at Marina di Camerota for us for my wife’s birthday! In my opinion way better than the Amalfi coast, fewer people, and fewer tourists. There are many beautiful bays and grottos with clear, clear deep-blue water. The marinas tend to be pretty small, so not a lot of space, but at this time of year we could get in everywhere we wanted. (Marina) prices for the Cat ranged from E200 per night, to E125. Marina di Camerota has a free tourist wharf for 48hrs. There is a lot of national park along the coast, with marine reserves. You can’t anchor in them, but they provide mooring buoys for use. All in all a great trip, and one that I would recommend. October 2024 Nigel, New Zealand, Oct 11th, 2024

.carousel-cell { width: 50%; /* full width */ } .sc-carousel, section .sc-carousel { margin-top: 0; } Rating: 5 / 5 The boat was in excellent condition - only a couple of years old. All equipment and facilities worked faultlessly. I would not choose to see the Amalfi Coast any other way than from the sea - especially during the busy season. The scenery was truly breathtaking, and the number of people travelling to and from and around the major towns was remarkable. We chose to seek out the quieter spots for anchoring, and they certainly exist, allowing for public beach access via our tender to visit and explore at a more leisurely pace. For the most part everything just seemed to line up as planned. With a long lead time to our holiday communications sometimes fell a bit quiet - but that's because there was not much to say. The wheels all turned, the boat was ready and waiting and lived up to our expectations. Nothing was overlooked, and our trip ran very well indeed. David, Australia, Sep 22nd, 2024

Rating: 4 / 5 The boat was as expected for a 2018 catamaran. The only issue was with one of the two toilets. Amazing place with so many anchorage options. A great 2 weeks with nature and small villages. We loved it! (Your servise was) Perfect as usual! I can't wait for us to work again together for another destination. Your advices and reliability are priceless :) Thanks again to Sue and Robert! Eric, Canada, Aug 20th, 2024

We had a great time in the Aeolian Islands, and I highly recommend them as a destination. The beauty is that the islands each have a different character and are close to each other. The longest ‘passage’ is about 10 miles, and some are a lot shorter. Two of the largest islands, Vulcano and Lipari, are only 800m apart, but very different! The marinas are well located and were reasonably priced (€70-100 per night) and at Panarea there are only moorings but for €70 you also get a 24/7 water taxi service which was perfect. We found mid / late July to be superb. David, New Zealand, Aug 16th, 2019

Rating: 5 / 5 We found the boat to be nicely designed and very comfortable. The sails were near new and a treat to sail with. The highlight destination was Capri where because of unsettled weather we stayed in the marina. We found a brilliant restaurant in Ana-Capri and enjoyed strolling the narrow streets. San Michelle villa was delightful. Service was 10/10. Mario at the marina went out of his way to help us with ideas advice and making sure we wanted for nothing. Peter, New Zealand, Oct 24th, 2018

Rating: 5 / 5 The cat performed well with everything working as expected. The only issue was batteries not lasting a night and having to run an engine both in the morning and again in the late afternoon when sailing and not motoring. Sails were easy enough to hoist and the electronics worked well. Lipari was a great spot to stop with a nice town to explore. But the nicest island I found was Panarea. Less tourists with very friendly locals. James, Australia, Jul 22nd, 2018

Rating: 4 / 5 The Aeolian islands are a beautiful part of the world with many highlights. The standout was watching Stromboli erupt at night from nearby offshore. Sail Connections service was as always excellent. Russell, Australia, Jul 16th, 2018

Just a quick note to say we had a fabulous holiday and fantastic charter. The boat was perfect and the skipper Salvo and hostess Lucia were excellent could not fault anything. Salvo took us to some amazing places, always had our comfort and safety in mind, and was a lovely guy, Lucia was an amazing cook we ended up having most of our meals on board she was so good, also great company and very friendly and helpful. Everyone at North Sardinia Sail were also helpful and very friendly. Tony, Australia, Aug 31st, 2016

Among the trip's highlights will be the Maddalena Archipelago, a group of islands resting off the coast of northern Sardinia, easily accessible from Porto Cervo. Here, Caprera Island itself is a must-see, as it is a natural reserve for wildlife, making for a peaceful spot to watch the waves and sunset surrounded by the sounds of nature. Next, be sure to visit Isola Budelli and Isola Spargi, two spectacularly beautiful islands and a great introduction to the region's famed tranquil beaches and diving possibilities.

To enjoy a longer sailing holiday, you must go for a Sardinia luxury yacht charter. You can rent with a small group and get a chef to also cook for you! This would make your Sardinia boat trip into a resort-like vacation with various sailing destinations.

Some must-see beautiful beaches in Sardinia include Cala Brandinchi, Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Spiaggia della Speranza, and Spiaggia Capriccioli. Some of these beaches are rocky while others are sand-based. Spiaggia di Tuerredda is one of the best snorkeling areas on the islands as well as Spiaggia Capriccioli.

While in Sardinia, on top of taking private boat tours, you can also partake in water sports, taste delicious Italian food, and explore the bluest blue sea that will leave you dying for more. So what are you waiting for?

When is the best time to go?
