THE COSTA SMERALDA AND LA MADDALENA ARCHIPELAGO

discover our full fleet

The area immediately surrounding Porto Cervo is the most celebrated yacht charter destination in Sardinia — and for good reason. The Costa Smeralda coastline combines world-class beaches, luxury beach clubs and the vibrant social scene of Porto Cervo itself, while the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park — 30 minutes by yacht — adds 60+ uninhabited islands of wild granite beauty. Budelli (Spiaggia Rosa), Spargi (Cala Corsara, Cala Granara) and Caprera (Cala di Coticcio) are essential stops on any Archipelago itinerary. This area is the natural base for all charter operations from Porto Cervo and forms the core of the majority of day and multi-day itineraries.

THE CALA GONONE AREA

Sailing south from Porto Cervo along the eastern coast of Sardinia, the Cala Gonone area in the Gulf of Orosei delivers some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in the Mediterranean — sheer limestone cliffs dropping directly into turquoise water, with sea caves and beaches accessible only from the sea. Cala Luna, Cala Sisine and Cala Biriola are among the most spectacular anchorages in Sardinia, completely untouched and reachable only by boat. A dedicated itinerary of 3–4 days sailing south from Porto Cervo covers this extraordinary stretch of coast.

THE VILLASIMIUS AREA

At the southeastern tip of Sardinia, Villasimius offers an entirely different coastal character — shallow, turquoise lagoon waters, pink flamingos and beaches that rank among the finest in Europe. Cala Pira, Cala Sinzias and the Notteri lagoon are highlights of the area. The Capo Carbonara Marine Reserve protects the surrounding waters, making snorkelling and diving here particularly rewarding.

THE SOUTH OF CORSICA

A natural extension of any multi-day charter from Porto Cervo, South Corsica is 2–3 hours through the Strait of Bonifacio. The most requested destinations include the dramatic cliffs and town of Bonifacio, the Lavezzi Islands Marine Reserve (with water quality and colours that rival the Archipelago), Porto Vecchio and the beaches of the Golfe de Santa Manza. Combining Sardinia and Corsica in a single itinerary is one of the most rewarding Mediterranean experiences available from Porto Cervo.
