Where to Go on Your Sardinian Yacht Charter?

Where to go on your Sardinia yacht charter depends entirely on the type of yacht you choose, as different speeds allow for different itineraries. Most of our Sardinia yacht charters start in the northeastern corner, also known as the Costa Smeralda, either in Olbia, Porto Cervo or Porto Rotondo. From here it is only a short 25 nm cruise north to the famous Maddalena Archipelago, and not much further to reach the southern tip of Corsica.

Glamorous Costa Smeralda

The Costa Smeralda is Sardinia’s most exclusive luxury yacht charter destination, known for its glamorous marinas, high-end beach clubs, designer shopping, and pristine anchorages. The main hubs are Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo, both home to world-class marinas that attract some of the largest superyachts in the Med.

Phi Beach and Billionaire Porto Cervo are top spots for nightlife, while fine dining at Cipriani, Il Pescatore, and Quattro Passi al Pescatore offers gourmet experiences with stunning views.

The Maddalena Archipelago

The Maddalena Archipelago, located on the very northern tip of Sardinia in the Strait of Bonifacio, is one of the top charter destinations in the area. With islands like Caprera, Maddalena, and Cala Santa Maria, located close together, it is a perfect focus for a Sardinia catamaran charter.

Isola Maddalena is the hub, with a lively port and local restaurants, while Caprera Island is a highlight, home to Cala Coticcio (“Little Tahiti”), known for its unreal turquoise waters. Cala Santa Maria boasts some of the softest white sand in the region, and for those heading further north, the Lavezzi Islands offer top-tier snorkeling and diving.

Sardinia – Corsica Yacht Charters

For those wanting to extend their itinerary, a Sardinia and Corsica combo is a fantastic option. Just 10 nautical miles north of the Maddalena Archipelago, Bonifacio is a must-see, with its dramatic limestone cliffs and historic citadel. From here, you can explore the Lavezzi Islands, a protected marine reserve with incredible snorkeling, and Porto Vecchio, a lively port town with excellent restaurants and nightlife.

If you’re combining both Sardinia and Corsica, we recommend a 10-14 day yacht charter to fully enjoy both islands without rushing. Whether you choose a catamaran for a relaxed island-hopping experience or a motor yacht for speed and luxury, this itinerary gives you the best of both worlds.

Yacht Charters to South Sardinia

With a motor yacht charter, you can cover far more ground, and take the opportunity to explore the south of Sardinia. We recommend a motor yacht that cruises at 14 knots or more. The south offers famous spots like Cagliari, Villasimius, and the Capo Carbonara Marine Reserve, known for its clear waters and vibrant marine life.
