WHY CHOOSE PORTO CERVO FOR YOUR YACHT CHARTER?

Porto Cervo has earned its reputation as one of the finest yachting destinations in the world for several reasons. The marina is one of the largest and best-equipped in the Mediterranean. The waters of the Costa Smeralda and the La Maddalena Archipelago are among the most spectacular in Europe — crystal-clear, sheltered in the right places, and alive with sailing breezes. The proximity to Corsica adds an international dimension to any multi-day charter. And the social scene — beach clubs, Michelin-starred restaurants, clubs and events — means that life ashore is as compelling as life at sea.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT VESSEL FOR COSTA SMERALDA

The right vessel depends on the size of your group, the duration of the charter and your preferred experience on the water.

Motor Yachts: The most popular choice for day charters and short overnight trips — fast, comfortable and with the deck space and equipment for a full day at sea. Ideal for groups of 4–12 guests.
Sailing Yachts: The most immersive and authentic experience of the Costa Smeralda — quieter, slower and more connected to the rhythm of the sea. Ideal for multi-day itineraries combining Sardinia and Corsica.
Catamarans: The best option for groups prioritising space, stability and comfort — exceptional deck space across two hulls, very liveable for multi-day charters.
RIBs: The fastest and most flexible option for day trips — reaching the most remote coves of the Archipelago that larger vessels cannot access. Ideal for half-day and full-day excursions.
