Sail along Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda on a crewed catamaran – explore turquoise bays, hidden coves, and glamorous seaside villages along the Emerald Coast.
Set sail along Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda, one of the most exclusive and scenic sailing destinations in the Mediterranean. This iconic stretch of coastline, named after the emerald color of its crystal-clear waters, is renowned for its unspoiled nature, elegant port towns, and hidden coves accessible only by sea. A catamaran cabin charter is the ideal way to explore this area, offering both comfort and direct access to some of the most breathtaking coastal landscapes in Italy.
Your cruise begins near Porto Cervo, the glamorous heart of the Costa Smeralda, where luxury yachts and boutique shops line the marina. From there, sail toward the rugged pink granite cliffs of Caprera and the striking silhouette of Tavolara Island—both rich in marine life and perfect for snorkeling. Swim in the shallow, turquoise waters of La Cinta’s sandbar lagoon, or simply relax on deck and take in the views of untouched Mediterranean coastline.
The journey continues through the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, a sailing paradise made up of more than 60 islands and islets. Discover secret anchorages near Spargi, marvel at the pink sands of Budelli’s Spiaggia Rosa, and explore the dramatic sea-carved landscapes of Razzoli. This protected area is ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and exploring nature at its purest.
Crossing the Bocche di Bonifacio, you’ll reach the cliffs of southern Corsica and dock beneath the citadel of Bonifacio—one of the most picturesque towns in France. Wander the medieval streets, enjoy a sunset drink at the marina, and take in the unique blend of Italian and French culture that defines this part of the Mediterranean.
Throughout the cruise, you’ll stay in a private double cabin with ensuite bathroom, savor freshly prepared meals on board with full board service, and enjoy the support of a professional crew who will handle all navigation. This itinerary is perfect for couples, solo travelers, or small groups seeking a blend of relaxation, exploration, and sailing adventure along Sardinia’s legendary Emerald Coast.

Day1
Boarding in Olbia and Sunset at Tavolara Island
Your sailing holiday begins in Olbia, where you'll board your catamaran at the marina and meet your crew. After a welcome briefing, set sail for the stunning Tavolara Island, a protected marine area just 9 nautical miles away. Drop anchor in Punta Spalmatore, a scenic bay with twin beaches sheltered from the wind. Enjoy your first swim in Sardinia’s turquoise waters and a sunset aperitivo on deck. Dinner and overnight onboard in this quiet paradise.
Day2
San Teodoro’s La Cinta Beach and Porto Rotondo

Nicknamed “Tahiti” for its tropical look, it's one of the most photogenic beaches on the coast. In the afternoon, cruise to Porto Rotondo, anchoring in the Gulf of Marinella. Take the dinghy to Porto Cervo for an evening stroll and enjoy the chic atmosphere of Sardinia’s most iconic jet-set destination. Dinner and overnight at anchor.

Costa Smeralda Bays and Roccia dell’Orso
Sail along the Costa Smeralda towards the Gulf of Arzachena. Stop at secluded anchorages like Baia Sardinia, Cala Bitta, and Cannigione, all framed by granite cliffs and Mediterranean pines.

Bonifacio’s medieval beauty and unique position above the sea make it one of the Mediterranean’s most unforgettable destinations. Dinner and overnight onboard in Bonifacio’s marina.
Day6
Capo Pertusato and the Pink Sands of Budelli
Enjoy a morning swim at Capo Pertusato, beneath the “Gouvernail de la Corse,” a dramatic rock formation known as the Rudder of Corsica. Sail south back into Sardinia’s La Maddalena National Park to explore the islands of Budelli, Razzoli, and Santa Maria. Admire Budelli’s famous Spiaggia Rosa, a protected beach with rare pink sand. Continue sailing past Caprera Island, known for its nature reserves and Garibaldi's historic home. Spend the night anchored in the Gulf of Pevero near Porto Cervo.

Cala di Volpe, Romazzino and Return to Olbia
Start your final day with sunrise views over Grande Pevero, then sail to the white sands of Romazzino and the famous Principe Beach, named after the Aga Khan. Navigate around the "emerald cape" to reach Cala di Volpe, Liscia Ruja, Petra Bianca, and Petra Niedda—each offering postcard-perfect swimming spots. After a last dive in these turquoise waters, cruise back toward Olbia for your final evening onboard. Enjoy a farewell dinner with the crew.

Experience the authentic flavors of Sardinia with a guided wine tasting in the countryside near Cannigione, a picturesque coastal town in the Gulf of Arzachena. This immersive activity introduces you to the celebrated wine culture of Gallura, the region famous for producing Vermentino di Gallura DOCG, a crisp white wine with citrus and mineral notes, and Cannonau, a bold red considered one of the oldest grape varieties in the Mediterranean. During your visit to a traditional family-run cantina, you'll sample handcrafted wines accompanied by local delicacies such as pecorino sardo, pane carasau, salumi di montagna, and olives cured with wild herbs. Your hosts will share stories about Sardinian viticulture, ancient farming techniques, and the unique volcanic terroir that shapes the island’s distinctive flavors. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the experience is both a sensory journey and a cultural encounter with Sardinia’s rural soul—ideal for food and wine lovers.
Historical Walk in Bonifacio’s Citadel
Discover the dramatic beauty and centuries-old history of Bonifacio, Corsica’s southernmost town perched on soaring limestone cliffs. Begin your visit with a scenic walk through the old upper town, where cobbled alleys wind between medieval stone buildings and breathtaking viewpoints overlook the turquoise waters of the Bouches de Bonifacio. The main highlight is the Genoese Citadel, a fortified complex originally built in the 9th century and later expanded by the Republic of Genoa. Explore its ramparts, chapels, and hidden courtyards as you learn about the town’s strategic importance throughout Mediterranean naval history. Don’t miss the legendary King of Aragon’s Staircase—a vertiginous 187-step stone stairway carved directly into the cliffside, offering unparalleled views over the sea. With its blend of natural grandeur and architectural heritage, this walk is perfect for travelers interested in Corsican culture, history, and unforgettable photo stops.
Visit to Giuseppe Garibaldi’s Compendium (Caprera)
Step into the world of Italy’s national hero with a visit to the Compendio Garibaldino, the former home and resting place of Giuseppe Garibaldi on the island of Caprera. This evocative museum is set in a serene natural park, where pine trees, Mediterranean scrub, and sea breezes frame the simple stone farmhouse where Garibaldi lived out his final years. A guided visit reveals personal belongings, handwritten letters, weapons, and even the boat he used to travel between islands. The farmhouse remains largely as it was in the 19th century, offering a deeply human glimpse into the life of the man who unified Italy. Outside, the gardens and family tomb reflect his enduring legacy. A visit here isn’t just about history—it’s a chance to connect with the cultural identity of Sardinia and Italy through the lens of one of its most iconic figures. This stop is especially meaningful for those interested in politics, identity, and Mediterranean history.
Travel organizer tips
What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light—but wisely! Need help building the perfect list? Read our full guide: What to pack in a suitcase for a yacht charter
What’s a Typical Day Like on a Yacht Charter?
Start your day with a swim in a quiet bay, sail to hidden beaches or seaside villages, and enjoy a slow lunch on deck. Afternoons mean snorkeling, sunbathing, or exploring ashore. As the sun sets, your boat anchors in a scenic cove or near a harbor—ready for a relaxed dinner and a night under the stars. Curious about the full experience? Discover more in our guide: What’s a typical day like on a sailing holiday?
Who Handles Cooking and Cleaning on a Yacht Charter?
On skipper-only charters, guests usually share cooking and cleaning duties—think salads, pasta, and good teamwork. If there's a hostess, light meals and tidying are included, but it's still a casual, collaborative vibe. On fully crewed yachts, you’ll enjoy full service with a chef and crew managing everything. Want to know what’s included in your setup? Read the full guide: Who takes care of cooking and cleaning on a sailing charter?
What Happens in Case of Bad Weather During a Sailing Holiday?
Summer sailing holidays rarely face major weather issues—but when the sea gets rough, skippers adjust the route for your safety. Expect protected bays, marina stops, or a change in plan. These moments often lead to unexpected gems: local towns to explore, time to relax on board, or cozy dinners ashore. Curious about how crews handle these changes?

Sailing through Sardinia’s Emerald Coast was absolute magic. Each morning, I woke up to a new bay—crystal waters whispering just outside my cabin. The crew were attentive without getting in the way, creating a relaxed and reassuring atmosphere. Afternoons were filled with snorkeling near pink-sand beaches or exploring hidden coves that felt untouched by tourism. The highlight on land was walking the narrow alleys of Bonifacio; it felt like stepping into a medieval postcard. Even then, returning to the boat and sipping wine at sunset felt like coming home. This trip managed to balance discovery with calm, adventure with ease. I returned feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to the beauty of the Mediterranean.

I’ve never felt as at ease as during this sailing holiday. The rhythm of the itinerary was perfect—enough structure to explore iconic spots like La Maddalena and Bonifacio, but flexible enough for spontaneous swims or local market strolls. The onboard meals were unexpectedly delicious—fresh pasta, local seafood, and generous portions that made me feel truly cared for. I loved discovering small beaches that could only be reached by sea, and spending sunset hours chatting with fellow travelers on the foredeck. There’s something deeply grounding about waking every morning to the sound of lapping water. This was a trip that reminded me how healing the sea can be.

I joined this charter hoping for relaxation—and instead found something much richer. The days flowed effortlessly: mornings spent swimming in turquoise lagoons, afternoons touring vineyards and coastal villages, and evenings anchored under a sky full of stars. The crew handled everything with quiet expertise, so I could just enjoy the moment. One of my favorite memories was hiking to the viewpoint in Bonifacio and looking out over the cliffs—simply breathtaking. The layout of the boat made it easy to feel both social and private: shared meals were lively, but I could also escape for an early nap or reading session on deck. It was the best balance between connection and solitude I’ve ever had on holiday.

This sailing adventure was the perfect blend of discovery and downtime. I especially loved swimming at dawn in Sardinia’s emerald bays, when the water was so still it reflected the sky like glass. The crew were warm, knowledgeable, and subtly professional—just enough guidance to feel safe, but not intrusive. Exploring Bonifacio was a highlight: winding through medieval streets and looking over the cliffs to the sea below was unforgettable. Evenings back on board were my favorite—soft music, gentle breeze, and shared stories under lantern light. I came home feeling recharged and inspired, with a suitcase full of sea-salt memories and a deep desire to sail again soon.
