Charter a Yacht in Sardinia, From Day Boats to Superyachts

Day rates across our fleet run from around €5,000 to €60,000, reflecting differences in size, crew and service style rather than a single tier system. The day rate covers the vessel and crew; APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is billed separately and covers fuel, marina fees, and onboard provisioning such as food and drink. We set out the APA estimate alongside the base rate before you confirm, so the working budget is clear rather than a single headline number.

We start from the occasion rather than sorting by cabin count alone. A beach-club style day with a fold-down terrace, like the one on the Benetti Oasis 40, suits an active group wanting swim access and open deck space, while a closed-layout vessel such as a Sanlorenzo RMF is better matched to a group that needs quieter, more private circulation on board. With twelve yachts of 40m and above in the range, groups get placed on tonnage that fits the guest list and the mood of the day, not just the budget bracket.

Not for a crewed charter, which covers the majority of our fleet — the captain handles navigation and berthing, so no licence is required from guests. Licence requirements only come into play for bareboat charters, where the client takes the helm, and those rules depend on the vessel and current regulations, so it's worth confirming the specific case before booking that type of charter.

Yes — multi-day itineraries are built with provisioning as part of the route plan rather than sorted out once you're aboard. That means confirming supply stops before departure, since Porto Cervo marina has limited provisioning (a small supermarket and chandlery), while Olbia and Palau offer better options for longer runs. Crossing into French waters toward Bonifacio also means clearing customs on arrival, which we factor into the schedule rather than treating as an afterthought.

June through September is peak season, when anchor fields in the Maddalena Archipelago fill and beaches such as La Pelosa get busy by mid-morning. May and October offer a calmer trade-off — the Maestrale wind is less frequent and permit anchorages are easier to access. September carries an added factor at Porto Cervo, where the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta at YCCS tightens premium berth availability for those weeks.

The Maestrale is a real north-west wind that can build quickly in the Sardinian Strait, particularly on summer afternoons. Routes are planned with shelter options in mind — the captain can shift a day between exposed coastline and more protected anchorages, such as those inside the Maddalena Archipelago, rather than holding a fixed plan regardless of conditions. This is discussed as part of route planning before departure, not left as a surprise on the day.

Yes, this is arranged as a standard part of route planning for corporate bookings from either port, not treated as a special request. Catering runs and guest-privacy logistics — such as closed-door layouts suited to meetings or client entertaining — are worked into the itinerary alongside vessel choice, so the format matches whether the event calls for an open, social day on deck or a more contained, private setting.
