Questions
About this itinerary
What is the best time to charter in Sardinia?
June to September offers ideal conditions. June and September provide warm weather with fewer crowds, while July to August is peak season with vibrant nightlife in Porto Cervo.
Can I combine Sardinia with Corsica?
Yes, the Strait of Bonifacio separates the two islands by only 12km. Our itinerary already includes a day in Bonifacio, and we can easily extend to a full Corsica-Sardinia combined voyage.
Is 10 days enough to see all of Sardinia?
10 days provides an excellent overview covering the highlights. For a deeper exploration, 14-day itineraries allow more time in the Gulf of Orosei, western coast, and combined Corsica visits.
What yacht size is recommended?
For a 10-day Sardinia charter, we recommend 80ft+ for optimal comfort. Larger groups benefit from 100ft+ with multiple cabins, dedicated dining areas, and expanded water sports platforms.
