FAQs
What is the best time of year for a yacht charter in Sardinia?
The main charter season runs from May to September, when daytime temperatures sit between 20 °C and 30 °C and the sea warms to about 24 °C.
High summer (late June-August) offers the longest days but is also the busiest and most expensive period in marinas. Shoulder months May–June and September deliver lighter crowds, slightly cooler evenings and steadier winds—an attractive balance for many crews.
Which sailing areas in Sardinia are most suitable for beginners?
The Gulf of Arzachena, home to bases such as Cannigione and sheltered anchorages like Laconia, is protected from three-quarters of the compass and offers good holding in sandy seabeds—ideal for first-time skippers. Inside the La Maddalena Archipelago you’ll find short, line-of-sight hops between islands, numerous buoy fields and mostly flat water when the Mistral is light, making it another popular training ground.
What type of boat should I choose for Sardinia?
Catamarans are increasingly common because their shallow draft lets you anchor closer to Maddalena’s beaches and they provide wide lounging areas for groups or families.
Monohulls remain cheaper to charter and appeal to crews who enjoy the sailing feel and easier berthing in tight town-quay spaces.
If you are new to sailing or want local insight, opt for a skippered charter; bareboat is available to qualified skippers (see licensing question below).
Do I need a licence to rent a boat in Sardinia?
For any bareboat over 10 m LOA or with an engine above 30 kW, Italian law requires the skipper to hold an appropriate coastal-waters certificate—most charter companies accept an ICC or national equivalent (e.g., RYA Day Skipper).
A Short-Range Certificate (SRC) or other VHF operator’s licence is also mandatory because charter yachts carry fixed radios.
No formal licence is needed if you hire a professional skipper; in that case the vessel is classed as “skippered charter”.
How do I reach the main charter bases in Sardinia?
-
Olbia / Portisco / Cannigione (north-east): Olbia-Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) is 22 km from the marinas; public buses cost €1-2 and take about 1 h 30 min, while a taxi takes 25 minutes for roughly €50–60.
-
Alghero (north-west): Fertilia Airport (AHO) lies 20 minutes from the marina; pre-booked transfers start around €35 for up to four passengers.
-
Cagliari (south): Cagliari-Elmas Airport (CAG) is within a 15-minute drive of the downtown marinas Portus Karalis and Marina di Cagliari, with plentiful taxis and a direct train every 20 minutes.
How much should I budget for mooring and marina fees?
Mooring buoys or anchors inside sheltered coves usually cost €45–€55 per night in high season.
Small marinas such as IGY Portisco quote around €45 for a 12-m yacht in low season, rising to €75–€90 in July–August at nearby alternatives like Marina di Asfodeli.
Premium facilities on the Costa Smeralda or in Porto Cervo can exceed €400 a night for the same-size boat, so plan your itinerary accordingly.
Diesel fuel averaged €1.67 / L across Italy in June 2025—factor this into your running costs.
What weather and wind conditions should I expect?
Sardinia is known for the northwest Mistral (Maestrale), which can funnel through the Strait of Bonifacio and raise wind speeds by 5–6 knots; it is most frequent in spring and autumn but can blow at any time. Typical summer winds are 10–15 knots, providing comfortable sailing, while winter fronts can exceed 25 knots and require conservative routing.
The south-easterly Sirocco occasionally brings hot, hazy conditions—watch the forecast and leave extra margin when planning passages.
Can I anchor freely overnight around Sardinia?
Anchoring is generally permitted outside restricted zones, provided you stay clear of underwater cables and maintain 300 m from swimming beaches.
However, overnight stays are prohibited within many areas of La Maddalena unless you pick up a park buoy, and similar rules apply in parts of Tavolara and Capo Carbonara marine reserves.
Always check the latest local ordinances and respect marked seagrass-protection zones to avoid fines.
