Porto Cervo Yacht Charter
Charter a private yacht in Porto Cervo — the social and nautical capital of Sardinia's Costa Smeralda. Granite coves, turquoise lagoons and the Mediterranean's most exclusive marina.
Why Charter in Porto Cervo?
Porto Cervo is the heart of Sardinia's Costa Smeralda — the famously beautiful 55 km of granite coastline developed in the 1960s by the Aga Khan as the Mediterranean's most exclusive yachting destination. Today its marina hosts more superyachts than almost any port in Europe.
A yacht charter from Porto Cervo opens up the entire Smeralda coastline — the Princess's Beach, Cala di Volpe, Poltu Quatu — plus the protected La Maddalena archipelago and, for longer charters, the granite citadel of Bonifacio across the strait in Corsica.
Best Time to Visit
Late May to early October. July and August are peak (and busy); June and September deliver near-perfect water and notably better availability.
Recommended Duration
Day charters cover the immediate Smeralda coves. 5–10 day charters explore La Maddalena fully and reach Bonifacio in southern Corsica.
Marine Life
Bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, grouper and pristine seagrass meadows in the La Maddalena marine park.
