Yacht charter in Sardinia

The second largest Mediterranean island after Sicily offers something for everyone. Passionate hikers will find a rugged interior with rock formations, while historians will be interested in the nuraghi, beehive-like stone ruins dating back to the second millennium BC. Regardless of when you travel, you can be sure to join in the celebrations at at least one of the officially organized festivities. And as a gourmet, you can enjoy Sardinian cuisine with its fish and meat specialties.

Above all, the abundance of white sandy beaches and the diverse underwater world are attractive attractions for sea enthusiasts and sun-worshippers. If you also want to swim with dolphins and monk seals or snorkel along colorful corals, you don’t have to book accommodation on the mainland. With a yacht charter, you can admire the beauties of Sardinia from a bareboat, catamaran or monohull. And see the island from a completely new perspective.

That’s why Sardinia is a must for sailors.

In Cagliari, the island’s capital, you will not only come across historic alleys with local shops and restaurants or a medieval cathedral. From the hill of the famous Castello district, you can also enjoy a fantastic view of the Mediterranean Sea, where you should definitely take a sailing trip. From the water, you can see the unique limestone bridge of the rugged Capo Caccia headland from a previously unseen perspective. You will discover new sides to steep cliffs and the granite archways at Is Paraportus.

In addition, Sardinia accounts for around a quarter of all Italian beaches, unique emerald-green coves and crystal-clear water. Why fly to the Caribbean when the Mediterranean also offers you perfect conditions for a dream sailing trip? In the summer months, a constant, pleasant breeze blows. And the modern marinas impress with their well-developed infrastructure, versatile supply options and numerous sheltered anchorages.

These are the places you must head for

Whether you have your own boat license and charter a yacht or set sail with an experienced skipper, sailing enthusiasts should not miss out on Sardinia. On the contrary: numerous highlights await you and your chartered yacht. On the Sinis peninsula to the west, you will not see red, but a colony of pink flamingos.

The Maddalena Archipelago is also a designated nature reserve, where you can enjoy peace and untouched nature away from the hustle and bustle on the main island. Its fascinating underwater world invites you to snorkel, and the pink bay “Spiaggia Rosa” on Isola Budelli invites you to spend relaxing hours on land.

Capo Carbonara also offers excellent diving opportunities from a boat, in addition to impressive rock formations. Not far away, in the southeast of Sardinia, is the dreamlike bay of Villasimius. This, in turn, is famous for its crystal-clear water and sheltered anchorages.

The Costa Smeralda in the northeast of Sardinia was named not for its white sandy beaches, but for its emerald-green water. Jewels that some of the boat owners in the elegant marina of Porto Cervo certainly also wear around their necks. So, if you are sailing around Sardinia, you can stop in one of the many sheltered bays and spend the night undisturbed. Or, alternatively, mingle with the rich and famous.

This is how you make your sailing dream come true in Sardinia

The majority of the impressive boats and ships of Sardinia’s high society are moored near the 46-meter-high lighthouse of Capo Ferro. If you are looking for something a little smaller, you can also rent inflatable or rowing boats in Sardinia. Or take a day trip in various models of motor boats, sailing boats or catamarans. However, the region cannot be explored in just a few hours.

Chartering a boat allows you to determine the route, pace and duration of your sailing trip. And, of course, the type of boat. With an appropriate license, you can explore the coast independently with a bareboat charter. Alternatively, a trained skipper with extensive knowledge of the local sailing area will take you to popular and hidden secret spots. This way you can expand your knowledge of the island and its surrounding waters as well as of how to steer a yacht. Or simply relax on deck of your catamaran, monohull or sailing boat.
