Sardinia is an Italian island in the Mediterranean that lies south of Corsica and north of Sicily, due west of Naples on Italy’s mainland.
The island is famous for its long stretches of craggy coastline, which encompasses the world-renowned Emerald Coast and the Maddalena Archipelago National Park and Marine Reserve. Though it also offers plenty of white sandy beaches and delightful hidden coves where you can relax under the glowing Mediterranean sun. And inland, you’ll find modern-day culture alongside historic ruins, traditional architecture, and glamorous beach towns, with boutique shopping in exclusive Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo.
Charter a yacht in Sardinia today to experience a luxurious Italian vacation specifically tailored to your interests and desires.
Sun worshippers will especially enjoy Sardinia’s Emerald Coast, also known as the Costa Smeralda. And the high level of service and substantive display of wealth lure many of the world’s most impressive megayachts.
Here, endless stretches of white, sandy beaches sit beneath spectacular mountainous landscapes that tower above the protected aquamarine waters. And on shore, you’ll find plenty of opportunities for luxury golf, polo, and world-class dining – complete with private jet and helicopter service.
For fans of boat racing, charter a yacht in Sardinia at the time of the Sardinia Cup regatta to watch teams of top-notch sailors from around the world going nose-to-nose around the markers at top speeds. The regatta’s host in the Yacht Club costa Smeralda, a gateway to the town of Porto Cervo, where the luxury marina includes a village center with shopping.
The picturesque seaside town of Porto Cervo blends the Mediterranean’s finest natural beauty with limitless opulence to create a truly elite vacation space. With fewer than 200 permanent residents, the town is committed to serving affluent pleasure seekers and yachting enthusiasts.
Every street is lined with architectural marvels such as the Stella Maris church, which melds modern design sensibilities with traditional Sardinian style. After strolling through the town, head over to Cala Granu Beach to relax on soft sands by calm azure waters under the glowing Italian sun. And for a dash of sporting excitement, pick a spot to watch the Annual Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup or Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta.
Many yachters pair their Sardinia yacht charter with destinations in Corsica, known as the ‘scented island’ for its fragrant maquis flowers.
Cruise to Corsica’s historic southern city of Bonifacio, a must-see old destination atop a cliff with an incredible stone façade. Take a trip to Ajaccio to visit Napoleon’s birthplace (now the Maison Bonaparte Museum), witness endangered species at the Scandola Nature Reserve Natural UNESCO World Heritage Site, and dive into the crystal waters to swim amid the recovering red coral.

The best time to charter a yacht in Sardinia is between May and October.
The peak season is from June to September, when the seas reach the ideal swimming temperatures and you can enjoy supreme weather and sailing conditions.
But if you prefer quieter crowds and cooler weather, consider booking in May or October instead.
Sardinia tends to have fairly strong winds.
For new yachters, it’s recommended to charter a crewed yacht. But for seasoned sailors, these conditions are highly desirable for an engaged and exciting sailing experience.
Powerful winds also make Sardinia a top spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing.
Depending on when you charter a yacht in Sardinia, you can expect to pay mooring fees of €20-€100 a night for a 39 ft yacht. Be aware that prices tend to be higher on the weekends.
If you’re looking to save on marina costs, there are plenty of bays to anchor in. Some of the better anchorages also offer mooring buoys that are cheaper than mooring in a marina.
One week is the perfect length of time to spend sailing in Sardinia.
However, many yachters also combine their Sardinia luxury yacht charter vacation with a trip to Corsica. To experience all the culture, attractions, and opportunities for relaxation that these places have to offer, we recommend a yacht charter vacation in Sardinia and Corsica of at least two weeks.
