The Costa Smeralda was invented in 1962, when the Aga Khan bought a stretch of empty coast and built a resort with rules about what could be built on it. The rules held. The result is a shoreline of low stone buildings, unbroken maquis and water that gave the coast its name.
North of it lies the Maddalena archipelago, a national park of granite islands and pink sand where the anchorages are protected and the development simply stops. A week takes both ’ the polished and the empty ’ without a long passage between them.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read Sardinia; the rest we tailor to you.
