STEP 1: DEFINE YOUR CHARTER PREFERENCES

Before contacting our team, it helps to have a clear idea of a few key parameters: Group size (how many guests, ages, any children), Duration (half-day, full-day, overnight, multi-day), Dates (fixed or flexible — flexibility allows for better vessel availability and pricing), Budget (a realistic range per day or per charter), and Experience priorities (beaches and snorkelling, sailing, nightlife ashore, fishing, Corsica crossing). The more specific you are, the faster our team can identify the right vessel and build a relevant proposal.

STEP 2: CHOOSE THE RIGHT VESSEL

The most important decision in any Porto Cervo yacht charter is vessel selection. Key questions: Do you want speed and flexibility (motor yacht or RIB) or a sailing experience? Do you need overnight accommodation on board? How many guests need to sleep comfortably? Our fleet covers RIBs for day trips, motor yachts from 45 to 60 feet for day and overnight charters, and larger crewed vessels available on request. Catamarans and sailing yachts are available through our partner network.

STEP 3: THE BOOKING PROCESS

Once a vessel is confirmed, the charter agreement covers the key terms — charter dates, vessel, crew, catering arrangements and APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) for fuel, food, drinks, marina fees and expenses. A deposit (typically 50%) secures the booking, with the balance due before embarkation. Our team handles all paperwork and logistics — you simply confirm, pay and arrive.

STEP 4: PRE-CHARTER PREPARATION

Before departure, our team coordinates: Provisioning (food and drinks preferences submitted in advance), Itinerary planning (destinations, anchorages, restaurant reservations), Shore experiences (beach club bookings, nightlife reservations, helicopter transfers if required). The more information you share with us, the more precisely we can calibrate the itinerary to your preferences.

STEP 5: ON BOARD — WHAT TO EXPECT

A crewed charter in Porto Cervo means a professional captain and, depending on vessel size, additional crew handling catering, water sports and navigation. The pace is entirely yours — anchor where you want, stay as long as you want, move on when you are ready. Our team remains available throughout the charter for any additional bookings, reservation changes or logistical needs.
