Why Sardinia Deserves a Full Week
Sardinia's coastline rivals the Caribbean for water colour and rivals Corsica for drama. A 7-day yacht charter reveals the island's staggering diversity: from the celebrity playground of Porto Cervo to the wild, uninhabited Gulf of Orosei.
Accessible from the French Riviera via Corsica, Sardinia is the natural extension of a Mediterranean yacht holiday.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Olbia → Porto Cervo
Board in Olbia Marina (easy international airport access). Short cruise to Porto Cervo, heart of the Costa Smeralda. Evening at the Promenade du Port, Sardinia's answer to Saint-Tropez.
Day 2: La Maddalena Archipelago
Seven islands, hundreds of beaches. Anchor at Spiaggia Rosa (Budelli), the famous pink beach. Snorkel in crystal water between Spargi and Budelli. Lunch ashore in La Maddalena town.
Day 3: Strait of Bonifacio → Corsica Day Trip
Cross to Corsica's Lavezzi Islands for morning snorkelling, then Bonifacio for lunch in the clifftop town. Return to Sardinia by evening.
Day 4: Tavolara Island
The dramatic limestone massif of Tavolara rises 560m from the sea. The surrounding marine reserve offers some of the Mediterranean's best diving. Anchor in the calm bay at Spalmatore di Terra.
Day 5: South to Cala Luna
Cruise south along the rugged east coast to the Gulf of Orosei. Cala Luna's crescent beach, framed by caves and cliffs, is accessible only by sea, the quintessential yacht-only destination.
Day 6: Cala Mariolu & Cala Goloritzé
Two of Italy's most celebrated beaches. Cala Mariolu's white pebbles create otherworldly turquoise reflections, while Cala Goloritzé features a 143m natural rock pinnacle.
Day 7: Return to Olbia
Final morning swim at Cala Brandinchi ('Little Tahiti'), then return to Olbia for disembarkation and flights.
