Yacht Charter in Sardinia West Mediterranean

A different Yacht Charter

In 48 hours, immerse yourself in the island’s dual identity: beach club chic and barefoot authenticity. From the glittering Costa Smeralda to time-forgotten hill towns, Sardinia offers a captivating contrast of high-end indulgence and ancient allure. Drop anchor in Porto Cervo and dip into the emerald waters of Cala di Volpe. As the sun diffuses into the Tyrrhenian Sea, toast the horizon with a glass of Vermentino and let Sardinia draw you in to its enchanting appeal.

LOCAL FLAVOUR

Sardinia’s cuisine is a celebration of land and sea, of age-old traditions kept alive through simplicity and soul. The island’s pastures yield rich pecorino, while coastal villages serve bottarga and octopus with reverence. Don’t miss a plate of culurgiones—handmade pasta pockets filled with mint and potato, kissed with olive oil and aged cheese. Or a slice of pane carasau, impossibly thin and crisp, served warm with sea urchin or wild herbs. For something truly authentic, venture inland to a traditional agriturismo, where families lovingly craft Sardinian panada and guests are invited to taste Sardinia not as a dish, but as a way of life.

LOCAL VIEW

Begin your day with sunrise over La Maddalena, in the northern province of Sassari, where the sea blushes pink and the archipelago shimmers like a dream. From the cliffs of Capo Testa at Sardinia's most northern tip, the horizon feels endless. And as twilight falls, watch the terracotta rooftops of Castelsardo catch the last golden light. From deck or dune, Sardinia’s palette of sapphire seas, rose-gold granite, and verdant maquis is an ever-shifting masterpiece.

LOCAL HISTORY

Sardinia’s story stretches far beyond the Roman ruins and Spanish towers that dot its shores. This is an island shaped by Nuragic civilizations that date back to 1800-500 BCE, whose mysterious stone fortresses— Nuraghes —still rise across the landscape like silent sentinels of a prehistoric past. Thousands of Nuraghi shape the unique landscape of Sardinia. Wander through the ancient site of Su Nuraxi or the ghostly village of Tharros, where history can be felt in through the stone. From Phoenicians to Pisans, civilisations have come and gone, but Sardinia remains defiantly itself—proud, welcoming, and wrapped in legend.

LOCAL ACTVITY

While Sardinia is often celebrated for its glamorous coastline and legendary yacht anchorages, the island also harbors a quieter, more cultivated charm for those who seek it. Tucked into sun-baked hills above the Costa Smeralda, a handful of boutique wineries offer intimate tastings among vineyards swept by the mistral winds. Here, native grape varieties like Vermentino, Cannonau, and Carignano thrive in mineral-rich soils, producing elegant whites and full-bodied reds that speak to Sardinia’s ancient viticultural heritage.

Local Highlight

For a more active escape, venture inland on a guided trek through the Supramonte mountains or along the island’s storied coastline. Trails wind past Nuragic ruins, wild rosemary fields, and goat paths carved into limestone cliffs. One unforgettable route leads from the plateau of Golgo down to Cala Goloritzé, where a limestone stalagmites rise dramatically above sapphire waters. The hike is demanding but deeply rewarding — an immersion into Sardinia’s wild heart, far from the well-trodden shores.

LOCAL INSIGHT

Sardinia reveals itself slowly. It’s not a place that shouts, but one that hums —through the rustle of wind in the cypress, the rhythm of waves in hidden coves, the crackle of fires in hillside kitchens. Step ashore and you’ll find an island of contrasts: glamour and grit, opulence and earth. One moment you’re sipping chilled Vermentino on a polished teak deck; the next, you’re biting into wild boar stew beside a shepherd’s hearth. In Sardinia, luxury lies not only in what’s seen, but in what’s felt. It’s a quiet kind of magic — timeless, wild, and wholly unforgettable.
