Corsica & Sardinia Yacht Charter

Sardinia and Corsica Yacht Charter: Two Islands, Two Countries, One Unforgettable Voyage.

Sardinia and Corsica rank among the Mediterranean's top summer destinations, combining luxury resorts and villas, glamorous beach clubs and family-friendly cruising grounds such as the La Maddalena Archipelago. Separated by the Strait of Bonifacio, the islands sit just 11 km (6.8 miles) apart, so you can explore each island as a separate charter or combine the two to experience Italy and France in one voyage. If you are visiting the French Riviera and island-hopping is your thing, Corsica and Sardinia are a must-do.

Both offer sparkling waters, colourful histories and vibrant towns, yet two distinct holiday experiences: Corsica being French and Sardinia being Italian.

Corsica, the 'Island of Beauty', is known for its dramatic coastline, lush mountains and plunging cliffs. Visit for hilltop villages, boutiques, glitzy yacht-filled harbours like Bonifacio and Porto-Vecchio, and some of the best diving and snorkelling in the Med.

Travel down to Sardinia, the Mediterranean's second-largest island, for glistening beaches, ancient history, eccentric festivals and the glamorous Costa Smeralda, where Porto Cervo's superyacht marina is a short cruise from the sheltered bays of La Maddalena.

Set sail for an unforgettable charter blending Italian glamour with French island charm!

Thinking about chartering a yacht in the Corsica & Sardinia? Our FAQ section covers everything you need to know, from pricing and destinations to the best time to visit and what is included in your Corsica & Sardinia yacht charter.

When should I book a Sardinia and Corsica yacht charter?

As early as possible. Sardinia and Corsica are among the most in-demand summer destinations in the Med, and the best yachts and crews for July and August are often secured 9 to 12 months ahead, with many clients booking the autumn or winter before. For June and September, 4 to 8 months ahead usually gives a good choice. Booking early also helps secure popular berths such as Porto Cervo in August.

How much does a Sardinia and Corsica yacht charter cost?

Every charter is tailored, so prices vary widely, from around €20,000 per week for a smaller crewed yacht to over €2 million for the largest superyachts. The cost depends on the yacht's size, style, age, crew and onboard amenities, as well as the season, with July and August in highest demand. On top of the charter fee, you'll pay an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) for fuel, food, drinks and berthing, plus VAT. Contact us with your dates, group size and wishlist, and we'll put together a selection of yachts to suit your budget.

When is the best time to charter a yacht in Sardinia and Corsica?

May to September offers warm weather and long sunny days. June and September bring quieter anchorages, while July and August deliver the full buzz of the beach clubs and resort life.

Can I charter Sardinia and Corsica on the same trip?

Yes, the islands are only 11 km (6.8 miles) apart, so many charters combine both. This depends on the yacht type, cruising speed and charter permissions. If you prefer less cruising and more time at anchor, exploring each island as a separate charter may be the better option.

Porto Cervo for glamour and nightlife, La Maddalena for family-friendly bays, Bonifacio for its clifftop citadel, the Lavezzi Islands for snorkelling, and Porto-Vecchio for white-sand beaches and chic boutiques.
