Sardinia Yacht Charter
Sardinia is Italy’s showpiece cruising ground and one of our top sellers. Granite islands, turquoise shallows, and short hops between world-class anchorages – with the option to add Corsica in a single week. If you want the “Caribbean color” look with Italian food and class, this is the charter for you.
Best Time to Charter a Yacht in Sardinia: The yacht charter high season in Sardinia runs from May to October, with June and September often offering the best balance of warm water and fewer crowds.
Key Cruising Locations: The Costa Smeralda is superyacht central, packed with high-end restaurants and luxury resorts. But just a couple of hours of cruising to the north, you have the Maddalena Archipelago, a region of pure wild beauty. And a small jump further, you are in southern Corsica.
Don’t Miss: Porte Cervo, Cala di Colpe, La Maddalena Archipelago and Bonifacio
How to Get There: Most of our yacht charters start around Olbia / Porto Cervo for minimal transfers. Fly into Olbia (OLB), which has direct flights from many major European cities, including Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and Madrid.
Why Charter a Yacht in Sardinia?
1. The water really is that clear
The northeast coast and island groups (especially La Maddalena) are famous for shallow, sandy bays with visibility that reads “tropical” in photos—because it often is.
2. Easy, scenic cruising days
Most days can be 60–120 minutes underway, which means more swimming, paddleboarding, and long lunches—less “travel day.”
3. You can mix glamour and wilderness
One night you’re in Porto Cervo for aperitivo; the next you’re stern-to in a quiet cove with nothing but cicadas and starlight.
Costa Smeralda
(Northeast Sardinia)
The classic luxury coastline: Porto Cervo, Baja Sardinia, Capriccioli, Cala di Volpe. Great for guests who want beach clubs, boutiques, and Michelin-level dining access.
La Maddalena Archipelago
(National Park)
A chain of islands and lagoons: Spargi, Budelli, Caprera, Santa Maria—the “postcard” zone. Note: some areas use permits / buoy fields / anchoring rules depending on the bay and season, so planning matters.
Bonifacio & South Corsica
(optional add-on)
A highlight if conditions cooperate: dramatic limestone cliffs, protected harbors, and chic Corsican towns. The Strait of Bonifacio can see stronger winds—your captain routes around forecasts.

How Much Does a Crewed Yacht Charter in Sardinia Cost?
Sardinia is a high-end yacht charter destination, and most of the charters we book here reflect that.
In real terms, our Sardinia charters typically cost:
- €70,000-€250,000+ per week for a quality crewed motor yacht
- €50,000-€90,000 per week for larger, well-crewed sailing yachts
Plus expenses (APA), usually 25–35% of the charter fee, depending on cruising, fuel use, dining, and marina choices.
This is not an entry-level charter area. Guests coming to Sardinia generally:
- Choose larger, newer yachts
- Budget for premium wines and onboard provisioning
- Dine ashore at Michelin-listed and iconic restaurants
- Visit beach clubs and berth in prestige marinas like Porto Cervo
Lower-priced yachts do exist, but they are limited, book early, and often compromise on size, crew depth, or comfort.
We’ll always be upfront about what budget delivers the Sardinia experience most guests expect, and we’ll help you allocate spending so the yacht, crew, and lifestyle all align.
