Yacht charter in Sardinia — your complete guide

Sardinia is one of the Mediterranean's top sailing destinations, offering over 1,800 kilometres of coastline with crystal-clear turquoise water, sheltered anchorages, and a sailing season that stretches from May to October. Whether you're a first-time charterer or an experienced skipper, Sardinia delivers consistently — stunning scenery, reliable weather, and some of the best swimming in Europe.

Why charter a yacht in Sardinia?

Unlike mainland Italy, Sardinia's best experiences are on the water. The island's most beautiful beaches, coves, and rock formations are often inaccessible by road — reachable only by boat. A yacht charter gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace: anchor in a private bay for lunch, island-hop through the La Maddalena archipelago, swim in the turquoise waters off Costa Smeralda, or dock at a beach club in Porto Cervo for the evening.

Types of boat rental available

Our fleet covers every type of vessel: catamarans for families and groups who want space and stability, sailboats for traditional wind-first cruising, motor yachts for speed and luxury, and RIBs for day trips and beach hopping. You can charter bareboat (sail it yourself with a valid licence), skippered (a professional captain handles navigation), or crewed (full service including hostess and chef).

How much does it cost?

Prices vary by boat type, size, and season. Expect to pay from around €150/day for a small RIB, €800–€2,000/week for a basic sailboat, €3,000–€5,000/week for a mid-range catamaran, and €10,000–€50,000+/week for luxury motor yachts with crew. Shoulder season (May–June, September–October) offers the best value. We always provide a full cost breakdown before you commit — no hidden fees, no surprises.

Best time to charter

June and September are the sweet spot: warm water (23–26°C), lighter crowds, lower prices, and reliably calm conditions. July and August are peak season with the warmest temperatures but also the highest demand and most expensive rates. May and October are ideal for experienced sailors who prefer quiet anchorages and don't mind cooler evenings.
