Sardinia is situated in the middle of the Western Mediterranean, lies just 8 NM from Corsica, at a distance of 120 km from Tuscany and 185 Km from the North African coast. It is surrounded by shallow seas, and its coastline measures 1,849 Km in total.
Sardinia is a place truly unto itself. With its very special striking landscapes, history, food and culture. Recently Sardinia has become quite the hot spot with many mega yachts competing for the limited number of berths in Porto Cervo. Although the most popular ports are packed in the summer, Sardinia also offers less glamorous but still stunning ports and bays. The "Emerald Coast" in the North is famous for its gorgeous beaches, radiant blue water and rugged cliffs. This is an excellent base from which to explore the very famous Maddalena islands on the way up to the French island of Corsica.
Sardinia offer all the types of yacht charter such as as bareboat charter, skippered, crewed yacht charter, catamaran, sailboat, motoryacht and luxury yachts charter.
