For yacht charter guests, Sardinia is not just a destination to experience the pinnacle of Mediterranean elegance. From lounging on the deck against a backdrop of Liscia Ruja's pink sands to exploring the vibrant streets of Cagliari by night, every aspect of Sardinia promises an unparalleled yachting vacation.
Sardinia oozes luxury and is a true superyacht charter haven. It enjoys light, constant breezes, making it somewhat cooler than much of the Mediterranean in summer. Elevated to exclusivity in the '60s when the Aga Khan invested in the Costa Smeralda, turning it into an eco-playground paradise for his friends, the area has relatively few traditional farms and in their place, lavish villas overlook the bays lined with superyachts during the summer. The Costa Smeralda is now legendary. Take time to watch the world go by as you sip an espresso on the waterfront at Porto Cervo and dine in one of Cala di Volpe's sophisticated restaurants during your yacht charter in Sardinia.
Those who rate peace and tranquillity over people-watching may prefer to set sail for the quiet shores of La Maddalena. Like a more rugged version of the Caribbean, the seven main isles in the Maddalena National Park form a stunning archipelago for yacht charter, offering a magical mix of history, scenery and true Italian charm. Don’t miss Porto Rotondo’s luxurious port with its granite amphitheatre and the church of San Lorenzo and in Cagliari the impressive Castello offers spectacular views.
The northeastern coast, home to the famed Emerald Coast, is a mosaic of glittering beaches, exclusive resorts, and upscale boutiques, particularly around Porto Cervo. Famously fashionable, the marina is lined with sophisticated cafes, high-end shops, and world class restaurants, creating one of the finest destinations for a luxury yacht charter in the Mediterranean.
Sardinia's cultural tapestry is equally compelling, with ancient archaeological sites like the ruins of Nora and Tharros offering a glimpse into the island's rich past. The mediaeval city of Alghero, with its Catalan heritage, presents a fascinating exploration of history and architecture.
Gastronomy is another pillar of the Sardinian luxury charter experience. The island's cuisine is a celebration of its maritime and agricultural heritage, offering dishes that range from the decadence of lobsters to the simplicity of pane carasau. Local vineyards complement these culinary delights with exquisite wines, enhancing the island's gastronomic appeal.
