Sardinia Yacht Charter

Sixty islands. The clearest water in the Med.

A Sardinia yacht charter is defined by the La Maddalena archipelago, short coastal passages, protected national park waters and a blend of wild coastline and Italian sophistication that few destinations match. From the celebrated shores of the Costa Smeralda to the uninhabited islands of the national marine park, routes are shaped around your pace, whether that means lively marinas and dining ashore or quiet anchorages and unhurried swim days onboard.

Princess curates each luxury yacht charter in Sardinia around your timing and preferences, carefully matching yacht, crew and itinerary to your group so the experience feels seamless from embarkation to return.

Why Sardinia remains a
charter favourite

Sardinia is one of the Mediterranean’s most rewarding cruising regions, where the La Maddalena archipelago means more time swimming, diving and unwinding at anchor in protected waters.

The contrast between the lively Costa Smeralda marinas and the uninhabited islands of the national park allows itineraries to move naturally between energy and calm. In peak summer, Porto Cervo fills quickly and the best anchorages are taken early, which is why local insight and thoughtful planning are essential.

Sardinia
1
Day 1
Porto Cervo to Baja Sardinia
Begin your charter on the Costa Smeralda, where the water shifts through shades of green and blue depending on the depth, with white sand and emerald cliffs behind.
2
Day 2
Baja Sardinia to Cannigione and Caprera
Arrive at Cannigione, one of Sardinia’s principal diving centres, before continuing to Caprera — a sparsely populated national monument of protected land and striking natural beauty.
3
Day 3
Caprera to La Maddalena
Cruise into the La Maddalena archipelago — 60 islands within a national marine park, with water transparent enough to see the seabed from the deck.
4
Day 4
La Maddalena to Spargi and Razzoli
Sail to Spargi, uninhabited and better for swimming because of it, then Razzoli — home to two lighthouses standing side by side and a tomb that has accumulated several competing legends about who lies within.
5
Day 5
Razzoli to Isola Santa Maria
Discover the national marine park at its most open — over 20,000 hectares of protected water, 60 islands, sea turtles and wild birds. Few anchorages in the western Mediterranean feel this far removed from everything else.
6
Day 6
Isola Santa Maria to Cala Spalmatore and Palau
Experience a sheltered morning swim at Cala Spalmatore, then Palau — where climbing Bear’s Rock puts the full spread of the last five days’ sailing into view at once.
7
Day 7
Palau to Isola Mortorio
Unwind at Isola Mortorio — sun-bleached cliffs, dense scrub and nesting birds including Audouin’s gulls, egrets and peregrine falcons. No harbour, no restaurants, no crowd.
8
Day 8
Isola Mortorio to Porto Cervo
Conclude your charter at Porto Cervo, where the Costa Smeralda Yacht Club, the marina and the season’s best restaurants await — with considerably more to measure it all against than at the start.

Best time to charter Sardinia

MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER

The main charter season runs from April to October, when warm water and long summer days define the experience. April to June and September to October offer a quieter alternative, with comfortable temperatures and fewer boats at the popular anchorages.

During peak summer, Porto Cervo and the La Maddalena anchorages fill quickly, which is why advance planning and local insight are essential.

FAQs

When is the best time for a Sardinia yacht charter?

April to June and September to October for quieter anchorages. July and August for peak warmth and the full regatta and social calendar at Porto Cervo.

How many destinations can we visit in one week?

Typically 5–8 island stops across the La Maddalena archipelago and the Costa Smeralda, depending on pace and routing.

Is Sardinia suitable for families?

Yes. Sheltered coves, calm protected waters and a high concentration of swim stops make it well-suited to groups travelling across different ages.

Can I combine Sardinia with Corsica?

Yes. The Strait of Bonifacio separates the two islands and is a short crossing — Corsica is a natural addition for charters of ten days or more.
