Skippered Catamaran Charters in Sardinia
Experience the unparalleled beauty of the Mediterranean with our premium skippered catamaran charters in Sardinia. From the granite cliffs of Gallura to the turquoise waters of the Maddalena Archipelago, we provide a seamless sailing experience where a professional captain handles the navigation, allowing you to relax in total comfort and luxury.
Luxury and Stability on the Sardinian Seas
Our skippered catamaran charters offer the perfect blend of space, stability, and privacy for families or groups of friends. Unlike monohulls, catamarans provide expansive deck areas for sunbathing and a wide beam that ensures a steady ride through the Tyrrhenian Sea. Each charter includes a fully equipped modern multihull, ranging from 40 to over 60 feet, featuring air-conditioned cabins and en-suite bathrooms. Your professional skipper is not just a navigator but a local expert who manages all technical aspects of the voyage, from mooring maneuvers in busy marinas like Porto Cervo to monitoring weather patterns, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the entire journey.
Explore the Emerald Coast and Maddalena Archipelago
Sardinia is a sailor’s paradise, boasting some of the most iconic coastal landscapes in the world. Starting from bases in Olbia or Portisco, you can navigate north toward the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, where the pink sands of Budelli and the crystal-clear lagoons of Spargi await. A skippered charter allows you to reach hidden coves like Cala Coticcio—often called 'Tahiti'—which are only accessible by sea. Further north, you can cross the Strait of Bonifacio to visit Corsica or head south toward the rugged beauty of the Gulf of Orosei. Your skipper will know the exact spots to anchor away from the crowds for a truly exclusive experience.
Pricing, Logistics, and Booking Your Voyage
The cost of a skippered catamaran charter in Sardinia depends on the size of the vessel, the year of manufacture, and the season. During the peak months of July and August, prices typically range from €8,000 to over €20,000 per week, while the shoulder seasons of June and September offer excellent value. The skipper’s fee is usually an additional daily rate, approximately €150 to €250, plus provisions. Booking is straightforward through our platform: once you select your preferred dates and catamaran model, our concierge team handles the contract and deposit process, ensuring all your specific requirements, from water toys to provisioning, are arranged before you arrive at the marina.
Best Time to Sail and Premium Services
The sailing season in Sardinia runs from May to October, with the warmest waters and most consistent winds found in mid-summer. To truly elevate your Mediterranean holiday, many clients choose to combine their sea voyage with a stay in one of our luxury villas in Porto Rotondo or San Pantaleo. This 'sail and stay' approach allows you to enjoy the vibrant nightlife and fine dining of the Costa Smeralda before heading out to the tranquility of the sea. We recommend booking at least six months in advance for the summer season, as high-end catamarans with the most experienced local skippers are often reserved early by returning guests.

Do I need any sailing experience for a skippered charter?
No experience is necessary. One of the primary benefits of choosing skippered catamaran charters is that a professional captain takes full responsibility for the vessel. You can be as involved in the sailing as you like, or simply relax and enjoy the scenery while the skipper handles navigation, anchoring, and safety protocols.
Where do the charters usually start in Sardinia?
Most of our catamaran charters depart from the northeast coast, specifically from marinas in Olbia, Portisco, or Cannigione. These locations provide the quickest access to the La Maddalena Archipelago and the Costa Smeralda. We can also arrange departures from Alghero or Cagliari for those looking to explore the western or southern coasts.
What is the typical duration for a catamaran rental?
While daily rentals are available, most guests opt for a weekly charter, usually running from Saturday to Saturday. This duration allows you to fully explore the diverse coastline of North Sardinia and the Maddalena islands without rushing, giving you plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring charming coastal towns at a relaxed pace.
