Yacht Charter in Sardinia

Many yacht charters in the waters around Sardinia start from the marina in Cannigione. From here it is a short voyage north to the  Maddalena Archipelago National and Marine Park - which consists of seven main islands; Maddalena, Caprera, Santo Stefano, Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria. On the other side of the Strait of Bonifacio is Corsica (France), which can also be part of the itinerary on a sailing holiday in Sardinia. However, sailors typically focus on the exquisite sailing by the Maddalena Islands and the bays and harbours along Sardinia's Emerald Coast with Porto Cervo and Porto Rotonda as key stops. No matter which itinerary you choose, a yacht charter in Sardinia contains an exciting mix of great sailing, extremely good snorkelling, world-renowned food, shopping, boutiques and fascinating sightseeing in the picturesque cities - and will be a loving memory for years to come.

Sailing in Sardinia

A sailing holiday around Sardinia in the Tyrrhenian Sea is a voyage through a Mediterranean wonderland. The passages between the islands and along the Emerald Coast are short and gives plenty of time to enjoy all the pleasures of life aboard. You can also enjoy excursions ashore, where you can explore the stunning scenery, taste the local cuisine, or just sit and relax with a drink and enjoy the area's immense natural beauty.

Soft and warm summer winds from the northwest are most often between 8-12 knots but are sometimes stronger in the Bonifacio Strait between Sardinia and Corsica. Breezes across land and sea are developed daily – in the late afternoons you can expect more southerly winds. Sailing in spring and autumn is also pleasant. The tidal range is only 1-2 feet and therefore tidal currents are not a problem. A sailing holiday in Sardinia is suitable for sailors with basic skills in coastal navigation. The unique character and beauty of the waters attract both more and less experienced sailors to return again and again.

Summer temperatures vary between 25 °C and 32 °C.
