Why the Tiara EX 60 is Perfect for Porto Cervo
Porto Cervo is defined by its turquoise "swimming pool" waters and hidden granite coves, many of which are only accessible by yacht. The Tiara EX 60 is uniquely suited for this environment for several reasons. Firstly, its shallow draft of just 4 feet allows the captain to navigate closer to the shoreline of Spiaggia del Principe or the shallow lagoons of Budelli than traditional flybridge motor yachts of the same size.
The "EX" in the name stands for "Explorer," which is reflected in the yacht's flexible cockpit. The fold-down terrace wings significantly expand the beam at anchor, creating a massive "beach club" feel that is perfect for launching paddleboards or diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Furthermore, the 2026 season sees an increasing demand for yachts that handle the afternoon "Mistral" winds with grace; the EX 60’s hull is specifically weighted and balanced to ensure a dry, stable ride even when the sea state becomes choppy outside the protected bays.

Bespoke Itineraries from Porto Cervo
When you choose to rent a boat from our extensive boats collection, the itinerary is entirely customizable. Starting from the prestigious Porto Cervo Marina, here are two popular routes for the Tiara EX 60.
1-Day: The Maddalena Excellence
Depart Porto Cervo at 10:00 AM and head north past the Isola di Caprera. The EX 60’s speed allows you to reach the Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach) on Budelli in less than 45 minutes. Spend the morning swimming in the "Manto della Madonna," a stretch of water so blue it appears surreal. For lunch, drop anchor at Cala Santa Maria and enjoy a catered meal on the yacht’s expansive aft deck. Finish the day with a sunset cruise past the lighthouse of Capo Ferro as you return to the marina.
3-7 Days: The Corsican Connection
For those chartering a Tiara Yachts EX 60 in Porto Cervo for a longer duration, a cross-border journey to Corsica is highly recommended. Explore the destinations of the Bonifacio Straits, where the white limestone cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop.
- Day 1-2: Explore the uninhabited Lavezzi Islands and Cavallo Island.
- Day 3-4: Dock in the historic harbor of Bonifacio and enjoy world-class dining.
- Day 5-7: Return toward Sardinia, stopping at the Pevero Golf Club bay and the secluded coves of Mortorio Island.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Porto Cervo
The primary hub for this yacht is the Porto Cervo Marina (Marina Nuova), which is one of the best-equipped facilities in the Mediterranean. It offers full concierge services, high-speed refueling, and proximity to the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS). During the peak of summer, berthing can be extremely limited, so it is vital to secure your slip months in advance if you plan on overnighting in the port.
Alternative berthing options for the Tiara EX 60 include Poltu Quatu, a "hidden port" located just 10 minutes away, which offers a more intimate and fjord-like atmosphere. For those who prefer to remain at anchor, the Golfo del Pevero provides excellent holding ground and protection from the prevailing westerly winds, allowing guests to use the Tiara’s tender to reach the shore for dinner at the Cala di Volpe hotel.
Inclusions and Financial Considerations
Understanding the "all-in" cost of a luxury charter is essential for a seamless experience. Most Tiara EX 60 rentals in Sardinia are structured as follows:
- Included: Professional skipper (and often a stewardess), standard safety equipment, insurance, and end-of-trip cleaning.
- Excluded (APA): The Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) usually accounts for 30-35% of the charter fee. This covers fuel, food, premium beverages, and any specialized marina fees outside of the home port.
- VAT: In Italy, VAT is applicable to charter fees and varies based on the itinerary (national vs. international waters).
- Fuel: The Volvo IPS 1350 engines are remarkably efficient for their power, but fuel consumption remains the largest variable cost, depending on how much "cruising" versus "anchoring" is done.
Best Time to Visit and Sea Conditions
The yachting season in Porto Cervo traditionally runs from mid-May to early October. The best sea conditions are typically found in June and September, when the water temperature is pleasant (22-25°C) and the thermal winds are predictable. July and August offer the hottest weather and the most vibrant social scene, but the sea can be crowded with other vessels. The Tiara EX 60 is equipped with advanced stabilization systems (Seakeeper), which significantly reduce roll while at anchor, ensuring that even if the sea is slightly restless, your comfort on board remains uncompromised.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum capacity for renting a Tiara Yachts EX 60 in Porto Cervo?
For day charters, the Tiara EX 60 is licensed to carry up to 12 guests plus crew. For overnight or multi-day charters, the yacht comfortably accommodates 6 guests in three beautifully appointed cabins: a full-beam master suite, a VIP forward cabin, and a twin guest room.
What makes chartering a Tiara Yachts EX 60 in Porto Cervo different from a standard flybridge?
The EX 60 focuses on a "cockpit-centric" lifestyle. Unlike traditional flybridge yachts where the group is often split between levels, the EX 60 keeps everyone on a single expansive social level that flows from the salon to the aft deck. This makes it much better for families with children or groups who want a more inclusive, social atmosphere.
Can I cruise to Corsica when renting a Tiara Yachts EX 60 in Porto Cervo?
Yes, the Tiara EX 60 is more than capable of the 12-nautical-mile crossing of the Strait of Bonifacio. However, please note that international charters may require additional documentation and different tax considerations. It is best to inform your broker in advance so the itinerary and APA can be adjusted for French marina fees and customs.
Is fuel included in the price of chartering a Tiara Yachts EX 60 in Porto Cervo?
Typically, fuel is not included in the base rental price. It is deducted from the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). The total fuel cost will depend on your chosen speed and the distance covered—for example, a direct trip to the Maddalena Islands will consume significantly less fuel than a high-speed run to Bonifacio or the southern coast of Sardinia.
