Highlights

Sardinia Yacht Charter
Sardinia yacht charters offer the freedom to experience the destination on your own terms. Each itinerary can be shaped around the way you want to travel, with the flexibility to move between time on the water, moments ashore and the simple pleasure of life on board.

Pristine Beaches & Turquoise Waters
Cala Brandinchi near San Teodoro earned the nickname Little Tahiti for water that shifts from pale turquoise to deep blue within a few metres of the shore, while Cala Goloritzè in the Gulf of Orosei sits beneath a 143-metre limestone spire and is reachable only by boat or a long hike. The Costa del Sud in the southwest offers a quieter, less developed alternative to the northeast’s better-known coastline. Clarity holds well into fifteen or twenty metres on a calm day.

Costa Smeralda & Luxury Lifestyle
Developed from the 1960s by a consortium including the Aga Khan, the Costa Smeralda turned a stretch of undeveloped granite coastline into the address most associated with Sardinian yachting, centred on Porto Cervo’s marina and the Piazzetta above it. Design rules imposed from the outset, low buildings, local stone, muted colours, still shape everything built along this coast today. The results feel more considered than showy, closer to a private estate than a resort strip.

Rich History & Ancient Heritage
Su Nuraxi di Barumini, a Bronze Age nuraghe complex inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, is the best preserved of more than seven thousand such fortified towers scattered across the island, a density found nowhere else in Europe. Cagliari’s old town layers Phoenician, Roman, Pisan and Spanish influence into a single hillside quarter above the harbor. Inland villages in the Barbagia region still keep traditions, from mask festivals to shepherding customs, that predate written Sardinian history.

Sailing & Marine Adventures
The nine islands and islets of the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, established in 1994, sit just off Sardinia’s northern tip and offer a full week of sheltered anchorages within a short sail of Porto Cervo. Divers head for the wrecks and caves off Alghero on the west coast, where visibility regularly exceeds twenty metres. Further south, the Gulf of Orosei’s limestone cliffs drop straight into deep water, ideal for slow cruising rather than fast passages.

Nature & Authentic Island Culture
Away from the coast, the Gennargentu massif rises to over 1,800 metres, and the Barbagia villages at its base produce some of Sardinia’s most distinctive food and wine, including pecorino cheeses aged in mountain caves. Vermentino, the island’s signature white, grows across the north and pairs naturally with the seafood served in almost every coastal town. The interior moves at a noticeably slower pace than the marinas, a contrast most first-time visitors do not expect.

Sardinia Charter Advices

Everything you need to know before chartering a yacht in Sardinia, from the best time to visit to where to drop anchor.
When's the best time to charter around Sardinia?

June through September gives the most settled weather and the warmest water, with July and August the busiest months around the Costa Smeralda. May and October extend the season with fewer crowds, though water in the Gulf of Orosei and along the west coast can feel cooler outside peak summer. The mistral and other strong northerlies can build quickly, so most captains keep a flexible schedule.

What are the best airports for a Sardinia charter?

Olbia (OLB), about 30 kilometres and a half-hour drive from Porto Cervo, is the main gateway for the Costa Smeralda and northeast coast. Cagliari (CAG) in the south and Alghero (AHO) in the northwest serve the rest of the island, useful when the itinerary focuses on the Gulf of Orosei or the west coast instead. Many charters fly into one airport and disembark from another to avoid backtracking.

Where should we anchor around Sardinia?

The La Maddalena Archipelago offers the widest choice of sheltered water within easy reach of Porto Cervo, while Cala Goloritzè in the Gulf of Orosei is dramatic, framed by a limestone spire and reachable only from the sea. Cala Brandinchi near San Teodoro suits calmer family days, and the Costa del Sud in the southwest gives a quieter alternative away from the northeast crowds. Mooring buoys are mandatory at several popular spots in peak season.

How many days do we need in Sardinia?

A week lets guests combine the Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena Archipelago with a couple of nights further south or along the west coast. Sardinia rewards a slower pace than some Mediterranean itineraries, since many of its best anchorages sit away from marinas and reward time spent swimming and exploring rather than moving on. Ten days to two weeks allows a fuller loop of the island without feeling rushed.

Can you land on the pink beach at Budelli?

No. La Maddalena National Park has prohibited walking on Budelli’s Spiaggia Rosa and swimming from it since the 1990s, protecting the coral fragments and shell debris that give the sand its colour. Boats can still cruise past on a day trip and guests can walk a path behind the beach, but stepping onto the sand itself is not permitted. Rangers patrol the area during peak season and fines apply for violations.
