Discover the Emerald Heart of the Mediterranean
Sardinia and Corsica offer one of the Mediterranean’s most spectacular cruising grounds, where Italian glamour meets untamed French beauty. Separated only by the crystal-clear Strait of Bonifacio, these neighbouring islands combine world-famous beach clubs, secluded anchorages, dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters that rival those of the Caribbean.
Whether you dream of exploring the exclusive Costa Smeralda, dining in picturesque harbours or discovering hidden coves accessible only by yacht, Sardinia and Corsica promise an unforgettable charter experience filled with luxury, adventure and authentic Mediterranean charm.
Why Charter a Yacht in Sardinia & Corsica?
Few cruising destinations offer such remarkable diversity within such short sailing distances. Spend the morning swimming in the pristine waters of La Maddalena National Park, enjoy lunch overlooking the iconic harbour of Porto Cervo, and finish the day watching the sunset beneath the limestone cliffs of Bonifacio.
From vibrant marinas and designer boutiques to untouched nature reserves and quiet anchorages, every day presents a completely new experience. The region is ideal for both first-time charter guests and experienced yachtsmen looking for breathtaking scenery, exceptional cuisine and effortless island hopping.
Day 1: Costa Smeralda: Sardinia’s Iconic Luxury Coast
The Costa Smeralda has long been regarded as the jewel of Mediterranean yachting. Developed by Prince Karim Aga Khan IV in the 1960s, this exclusive stretch of coastline has become synonymous with luxury, attracting superyachts, celebrities and discerning travellers from around the world.
Its emerald waters, white granite rocks and elegant marinas provide the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable charter. Stroll through the charming streets of Porto Cervo, browse luxury boutiques, enjoy Michelin-starred dining or relax in one of the region’s renowned beach clubs before returning to your yacht for a spectacular sunset at anchor.
Day 2: La Maddalena Archipelago
Just north of Costa Smeralda lies the protected La Maddalena National Park, a paradise consisting of more than 60 islands and islets surrounded by some of the clearest waters in Europe.
Anchor off the famous pink granite beaches of Spargi, swim in the turquoise lagoons of Budelli or enjoy paddleboarding through peaceful bays surrounded by untouched nature. With strict environmental protection, the archipelago remains one of the Mediterranean’s most pristine cruising destinations and a favourite among yacht owners.
Day 3: Bonifacio: Where France Meets the Sea
Crossing the Strait of Bonifacio brings you to one of the Mediterranean’s most breathtaking harbours.
Perched dramatically atop towering white limestone cliffs, Bonifacio offers a spectacular arrival unlike anywhere else in Europe. Entering its narrow natural fjord by yacht is an unforgettable experience, while the medieval old town invites visitors to wander through historic streets, boutique shops and charming cafés overlooking the sea.
Bonifacio perfectly combines Corsica’s rugged natural beauty with sophisticated French elegance.
Day 4: Southern Corsica
Southern Corsica is renowned for its untouched landscapes, crystal-clear anchorages and dramatic coastline.
Explore the idyllic beaches of Rondinara, discover the vibrant harbour of Porto-Vecchio or spend the afternoon swimming in secluded coves surrounded by fragrant pine forests. Unlike many Mediterranean destinations, Corsica has preserved much of its authentic character, offering visitors a unique blend of wilderness, culture and refined hospitality.
Day 5: Beaches & Hidden Anchorages
One of the greatest advantages of exploring Sardinia and Corsica by yacht is the access to countless secluded bays inaccessible by land.
Spend the day anchored in the famous turquoise waters of Cala Coticcio, often referred to as “Little Tahiti,” discover the white sandy beaches of Santa Giulia or enjoy complete privacy in one of the many hidden coves scattered throughout the archipelago.
Every anchorage offers exceptional opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, paddleboarding and simply enjoying the tranquillity of the Mediterranean.
Gastronomy & Mediterranean Lifestyle
Both islands celebrate exceptional local cuisine inspired by the sea and centuries of culinary tradition.
Fresh seafood, handmade pasta, traditional Sardinian specialities, Corsican cheeses, locally produced wines and waterfront restaurants create unforgettable dining experiences throughout your journey. Whether enjoying a relaxed lunch in a hidden fishing village or an elegant dinner overlooking Porto Cervo Marina, every meal becomes an integral part of your charter.
