Sailing in Sardinia; golden sand beaches and emerald-coloured waters await
Sardinia is our top Italian sailing destination, famous for its golden beaches, clear emerald waters, and rich local culture. From our Portisco base, explore the stunning Costa Smeralda, sailing northeast to Santa Teresa Gallura and across to Corsica’s Bonifacio. Sardinia’s rugged coastline is dotted with sandy inlets and marinas, but the true highlight is the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, home to 62 islands and islets.

Our Sardinia Sailing Experience
The trip of a lifetime!
Seamaster Yachting really took care of us from beginning to end - the skipper was excellent and great fun, the boat perfect (and exactly as described) and the sights of Croatia stunning.

A Great Family Holiday!
A great family yachting holiday in Croatia. It was exactly as described and the service provided by the charter company was excellent. Would definitely book with them again.

What an amazing holiday it was.
A group of us booked a catamaran and it was just perfect - the organization, the boat itself with lots of space & great facilities. The skipper was superb, letting us know the best spots on the islands... Big thanks to Seamaster!

Seamaster always deliver!
Yet another amazing trip with Seamaster! They always find us the ideal boat, even with last-minute plan changes. This time, travel restrictions redirected our long-awaited Sardinia adventure to the Ionian, but it was still an unforgettable week.

Thank you so much!
Our holiday was brilliant. We had the best week. In particular, the crew were fantastic. The chef, Kim, was a very talented lady, and Aggolos the skipper and Dora were the nicest people. They really made our week special.

An unforgettable holiday
We just returned from an unforgettable 40th birthday celebration (7 friends) in the Saronic Islands. It was pure freedom and escapism! We had no idea what to expect, but Tim Anderson assured us we'd have the time of our lives—and he was absolutely right!

Thank you, Thomas!
We had an unforgettable experience, thanks to our amazing skipper… From sailing and letting us join in at our own pace to recommending delicious meals, securing the best sunset views, guiding us home after lively nights, and finding breathtaking spots to unwind—every moment was spectacular!

Everyone absolutely loved it!
Words cannot describe enough just how much we enjoyed our first sailing holiday to Croatia. We literally had the greatest time… our skipper was fabulous (Nik) and became part of the family. Nobody wanted to come home!

Sardinia Sailing Itineraries
1 Week - Sardinia Route (Bonifacio)
Day 1 – Portisco
Located at the southern end of the famous Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast), Portisco has a natural harbour that is sheltered from the Mediterranean currents and winds by its inland location, resulting in a great starting location for a sailing holiday. There is a small selection of shops and restaurants in the marina.
Day 2 – Tavolara Island
Hidden along the east coast of Sardinia, this tiny strip of land — just over three miles long and a mile wide — is one of the Mediterranean’s best-kept secrets. The island has resisted building more houses or hotels to cater for tourists. There is a locally appointed king, one restaurant, one bar and a beach.
Day 3 – Caprera Island
This island is a national monument thanks to the famous Italian hero Giuseppe Garibaldi buying it. You can visit his house which is now a museum and is located at Porto Garibaldi. The village itself is typical and with very hospitable locals.
Day 4 – Bonifacio (Corsica)
The strait between Bonifacio and Sardinia is one of the windiest locations in the metiterranean due to winds funnelling between the two islands. Note the wind is calmest first thing in the morning. Don’t be put off as on arrival at Bonifacio you’ll be treated to possible the most spectacular natural harbours in the Mediterranean, it’s an absolute must see!
Day 5 – Budelli Island
Budelli is famed for its pink sand made from coral which has been smashed by the sea over the years. The island is now heavily protected to ensure it’s preserved for future visitors. You’ll find some fantastic anchorages, especially around the southern part of the island.
Day 6 – Maddalena Island
Maddalena is the largest island in the archipelago and as you would expect is the busiest. You have a number of choices of ports; Cala Gavetta which is the main port and is a busy tourist town. Alternatively you could choose Cala Mangiavolpe which is east of Cala Gavetta, a little cheaper and with extremely helpful locals. Finally Cala Spalmaore which is a lovely well sheltered beach.
Day 7 – Olbia Town
If you didn’t get an opportunity to visit Olbia on your first night then we would recommend taking the time to go. It’s a town often overlooked in the rush to get to the Costa Smeralda and offers more than you might inititally think. There is a historic centre filled with boutiques, wine bars and pizza cafes. The town is well worth making the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our primary base is located at Portisco, 40 minutes north of Olbia. In Portisco, there are actually two marinas side by side Portisco Marina and Cala dei Sardi. We also have yachts located in Cannigione, which is further north of Portisco and so offers a shorter transit to La Maddalena. Finally, there is also a selection of yachts available from Olbia town, which convenient to the airport and puts you in the heart of a lively characterful city.
The best airport for our base in Sardinia is Olbia, in the north east of the island. Olbia airport enjoys direct flights from London, Manchester and Bristol on Saturdays. Our base at Portisco is just 40 minutes north of Olbia airport.
The weather in Sardinia is generally hot and dry, with a six month summer from May to October. Sardinia enjoys 300 days of sunshine, with the most rain falling in the winter months from November to April. During the peak summer, temperatures rise to the early thirties. In May / October temperatures are in the early to mid 20s. Sardinia is a genuine sailing destination, with Force 4 (moderate winds) from the north-north west usual throughout the season and the risk of occasional stronger blows from the west. Stronger wind can become especially concentrated through the Bonifacio Straits between the north of the island and Corsica.
Mooring fees are a mixed bag in Sardinia and so should be approached with caution. The main Sardinia island marinas and harbours tend to be expensive, particularly Porto Cervo, which you shouldn’t even attempt. Expect to pay around €20 per metre during the summer. Strictly speaking, during peak summer overnight anchoring is not allowed up to 300m from the shore, but this rule though doesn’t seem to be followed strictly.
Charterers in Italy need a minimum of an RYA Day Skipper. We recommend having an ICC certificate (International Certificate of Competence). If you are in any doubt, please contact Seamaster and we will advised you or even get pre-approval.
