An iconic destination for luxury yachting, Sardinia has been attracting an international clientele for decades, drawn to sail in its exceptional waters. A jewel among Italy’s islands, it boasts some of the most beautiful anchorages in the entire Mediterranean. From the Costa Smeralda and its prestigious ports to the pink- and emerald-hued islands of Budelli and Spargi, and the secluded channels of the Maddalena Archipelago, Sardinia offers a diversity of seascapes that few coastlines can match. Whether you’re staying in a villa on the Costa Smeralda or arriving directly by sea from Corsica, Corsica Yacht Charter will tailor your sailing experience to your desires. We plan every experience down to the smallest detail, so that your only concern is enjoying every moment.
A family-owned business based in the Mediterranean since 1959, we have been sailing the waters off the Sardinian coast for three generations. Sardinia is part of our home, and this connection is reflected in the quality of every trip we organize.
Which yacht should I rent in Sardinia?
Every trip in Sardinia is different. Our fleet offers a wide selection of yachts, from large, luxury vessels to more compact models, to suit your every need.

Spacious and equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, these motor yachts can accommodate up to twelve people and are designed for week-long cruises along the Sardinian coast, with a crew dedicated to ensuring your comfort.
The captain, hostess, and chef make up a crew selected for their professionalism and discretion, and their services are fully included in our package. Their knowledge of the Sardinian coastline opens the door to the most secluded anchorages, far from the busy routes of the high season.
Several sleeping cabins are available for your group, while the outdoor areas and sun decks invite you to fully enjoy the Sardinian sun.

Their shallow draft allows them to access coves and channels that larger boats cannot reach.
Paddles, snorkeling gear, and swimming equipment are available on board so you can extend each stop with a water activity.
Depending on your experience and the yacht model, you can entrust the helm to a professional skipper or set sail on your own along the itineraries of your choice.

Sailing in Sardinia on a yacht
Sardinia is one of Italy’s most sought-after destinations in the Mediterranean. It’s an ideal destination for a week-long yacht charter in the summer. Its northern coast, dominated by pink granite cliffs, is home to some of the most beautiful anchorages in the inland sea.
Departing from Porto Cervo or Olbia, the route winds past a succession of private coves and pristine beaches before opening up onto the straits of the Maddalena Archipelago. Between the islands of Budelli, Spargi, Caprera, and Santa Maria, the shallow, exceptionally clear waters offer some of the most beautiful swimming conditions in the Mediterranean. A journey worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime.
Heading north, the Strait of Bonifacio marks the natural border between Sardinia and Corsica. This legendary passage, renowned for its winds and currents, is one of the most memorable sailing experiences these waters have to offer to those who cross it aboard a yacht.
To the south and east, the Gulf of Orosei reveals a wilder side of the island, with its limestone cliffs plunging straight into the sea and its caves accessible only by water.

The Most Beautiful Places to See in Sardinia
Some destinations in Sardinia can only be explored by sea. Here are the anchorages our skippers recommend most often—both while underway and at anchor—from the north to the south of the island.
Far North
The Maddalena Archipelago
Seven main islands and a scattering of islets, including Budelli, Spargi, and Caprera. The turquoise waters and light-colored sandy bottoms make this one of Italy’s most beautiful anchorages. Plan on a full day to explore the area, with a swim at each stop and some quiet time in a sheltered cove.
Northeast Coast
The Costa Smeralda
Italy's most famous coastline, stretching between Porto Cervo and Cala di Volpe. Prestigious marinas, secluded coves, and white-sand beaches line the shore for about 30 kilometers. In the summer, it is the hub of Mediterranean yachting.
East Coast
The Gulf of Orosei
On the east coast, limestone cliffs plunge straight into the sea and are home to caves accessible only by water. Cala Goloritzé and Cala Mariolu are among the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean.
Northwest
Asinara National Park
Off the northwest coast of Sardinia lies an island that has remained off the beaten path for decades and is now protected. Nature there is untouched, and water sports can be enjoyed in waters of rare clarity. A unique journey, far from the most popular tourist destinations.
These four stops can be combined into a single week-long vacation around the island, or visited separately on day trips. Our skippers tailor the itinerary to the weather, both in summer and early in the season.
Extend your stay in Corsica
Sardinia and Corsica offer exceptional sailing conditions. If you’d like to extend your sailing trip to the coast of Corsica, explore our fleet and services dedicated to yacht charter in Corsica.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Sardinia?
Our yachts are available starting at €980 per day for compact models such as the Chris Craft 32 Corsair, with prices increasing for larger yachts with a full crew. The final rate depends on the size of the boat, the length of your stay, and the season you choose. For a one-week crewed cruise, the price is customized based on your dates and itinerary. Contact us for a quote tailored to your plans.
When is the best time to charter a yacht in Sardinia?
The sailing season in Sardinia runs from May to October. June and September are particularly popular for their mild sailing conditions and peaceful anchorages. In the summer, during July and August, the high season is in full swing on the Costa Smeralda, with a livelier atmosphere in the island’s prestigious ports.
Do you need a boat license to rent a yacht in Sardinia?
Yachts with a skipper do not require a license. For self-crewed sailing, a coastal or offshore license is required, depending on the model you choose. On certain models, such as the Pardo 38, you can take the helm without a skipper, provided you have the necessary licenses. Our team will help you choose the options that best suit your needs.
From which ports can you charter a yacht in Sardinia?
We’ll arrange for your yacht to be available at the Sardinian port closest to your vacation destination—from Olbia to Porto Cervo, including Porto Rotondo and Cannigione—whether it’s a secluded marina or a prestigious port on the Costa Smeralda. For trips that combine both islands, we also organize the connection from the Corsican coast.
How many people can a yacht accommodate in Sardinia?
Our compact yachts can accommodate 6 to 8 people for a day trip. The larger motor yachts have four to six cabins and can accommodate up to twelve people for a week-long vacation, with a full crew. The price depends on the model chosen and the time of year.
Is it possible to organize a custom cruise in Sardinia?
Every sailing trip we organize in Sardinia is unique. Our advisors will work with you to create a customized itinerary, tailored to the weather, the length of your stay, and the areas you wish to explore—from the Maddalena Archipelago to the wild coasts of western Sardinia.
