Yacht Charter Costa Smeralda
Emerald Coast Islands as you wish them to be
The Emerald Coast the way you want them
There are places that exist before they are even seen. The Emerald Coast is one of them.
Its waters change color with the light, turquoise in the morning, emerald at noon, silver at sunset, and its granite outlines sculpted by the wind tell of a Sardinia that can only be reached by the sea.
Nautica Luxury Corporation designs your charter in Costa Smeralda starting with one certainty: no experience at sea should resemble another. The departure, the return, the crew, the galley, the itineraries, the services on board, every detail is chosen together with you, in dialogue with our shipowning partners among the most esteemed in the Mediterranean.
Sailing yacht, motor yacht or catamaran: choosing a boat is the first act of a journey built around your idea of luxury.
We believe that excellence is not a formula, but a consequence. A consequence of rigorously selected partners, of crews that speak the language of hospitality, of a network that knows every cove, every restaurant, every transit between Porto Cervo and the La Maddalena Archipelago.
That is why we offer only excellent services and experiences, and why each of our yacht charters in Costa Smeralda is a chapter that is written only once.
Ready to build your own trip to the Emerald Coast?
Three ways of owning the sea
Each boat tells a different travel philosophy. Choosing one is the first act of awareness of your Costa Smeralda charter, the one that will define the rhythms, atmospheres and silences of the days ahead.
The Nautica Luxury Corporation team walks you through this choice with the experience of someone who knows every square footage, every layout, every crew.
Sailing yacht

Motor Yacht
For those who choose comfort and speed
Catamaran

How many of you will be on board?
Our partner fleet offers solutions from 2 to 5 cabins, capable of accommodating 4 to 10 people in comfort. For larger groups or specific requests, anniversaries, corporate trips, private events, we build dedicated solutions with yachts of larger square footage.
Each configuration is offered with floor plan, interior photograph and crew details.
Every request we receive is analyzed by the Nautica Outfit team and translated into a selected shortlist of proposals, chosen based on season, desired route and guest profile.
What you receive is not a list: it is a shortlist built for you.
From departure date to dream route
A yacht vacation on the Emerald Coast does not begin on embarkation day.
It begins much earlier, when you chart the route, choose the stops, decide what to board.
Nautica Luxury Corporation works with you on every detail of planning so that nothing, absolutely nothing, is left to chance.
The timing of your trip
- Departure date and return date: you choose, we check partner fleet availability for the requested time window.
- Recommended duration: from a weekend (3 days) to a full week, to 10-14 day charters to explore in depth the La Maddalena Archipelago and the northeastern Sardinian coast.
- Seasonality: the Emerald Coast offers its best from May to September, with the peak of magic between June and the first week of September. May and late September give editorial light and half-empty marinas-a connoisseur’s favorite.
The port of departure
The choice of base port affects the route and the overall experience.
Our proposals favor the most scenic and best-equipped ports on the Emerald Coast and in northeastern Sardinia:
- Porto Cervo: the icon of the international jet-set, with the famous Yacht Club and a concentration of top-level services.
- Porto Rotondo: more intimate alternative to Porto Cervo, with an elegant and less crowded atmosphere.
- Cannigione: ideal gateway to the La Maddalena Archipelago, with modern, well-connected marinas.
- Poltu Quatu: the hidden fjord of the Emerald Coast, intimate and exclusive.
- Olbia: strategic solution for those who want to minimize the time between the Costa Smeralda airport and boarding.
- Golfo Aranci: alternative base for routes to Tavolara and northeastern Sardinia.
Which itinerary would you like?
The Nautica Luxury Corporation team, in collaboration with shipowner partners, builds customized itineraries that can span the length and breadth of northeastern Sardinia.
Some of the most popular places:
- La Maddalena Archipelago: Spargi, Budelli (the famous Pink Beach), Santa Maria, Caprera.
- The iconic bays of the Emerald Coast: Cala di Volpe, Liscia di Vacca, Cala Petra Ruja, Romazzino.
- Mouths of Bonifacio and a punt to southern Corsica: Lavezzi, Cavallo, Bonifacio.
- Tavolara and Molara, for those who wish to expand the horizon to the southeast.
Pre-boarding services
Because the journey begins from the moment you leave home:
- Private transfer from station or airport (Olbia Costa Smeralda, Alghero) by representative car or van for groups.
- Overnight stay the night before embarkation in selected hotels (Cala di Volpe, Hotel Pitrizza, Romazzino, boutique solutions in Porto Cervo).
- Helicopter transfer from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport directly to the heliport at the port of departure, for those who want to eliminate any downtime.
- Personalized provisions on board as early as your arrival-from favorite oligomineral waters to select wines to zero-mile gourmet products.
- Dedicated weather advisory service with captain’s briefing 24 hours before departure.
The collected data feed into the final progressive form, reducing the friction typical of quote requests.
Every detail on board.
Exactly as you imagine it.
Getting on board should be a thrill. Opening a cabin that already carries your scent, sitting down at a table in front of a galley that knows your tastes, choosing a glass from labels designed for your palate.
This is how we understand hospitality, and this, in Costa Smeralda, is our standard.

We know that the serenity of the parents depends on the serenity of the children, and that every detail devoted to the little ones is an investment in the quality of the whole vacation.
Safety First
Among the products we offer with the most conviction is the children’s anti-fatigue lifesaving T-shirt, available in our shop.
It is a technical garment designed to provide instant buoyancy in the event of a fall in the water, while remaining comfortable and lightweight to wear all day long.
An essential device for families who experience the sea with children.
Comfort and fun on board
Upon request, we prepare environments and organize activities with your children in mind:
- Cabins equipped with linens, accessories and baby/kids products.
- Dedicated menus for children, with selected raw materials and attention to tastes and intolerances.
- Family-friendly water toys: SUPs, small inflatables, junior snorkel kits, airbeds, safe inflatable toys.
- Hostesses experienced in family service who can support parents during sailing or roadstead stops.
- Ad hoc itineraries to quiet bays and shallow waters, perfect for little ones (some areas of the La Maddalena Archipelago are ideal).
- Upon request: qualified babysitter on board or available during off-boat dinners.
The freedom to indulge in adult dining without worry, to dive in knowing that those in the boat are in safe hands, to let your children experience the sea as only children can.
We build all this for you.
The return, with the same care as the departure.
A journey is great in every moment of it, even, and perhaps especially, when it ends.
We believe that how you leave a vacation determines how you will remember it forever.
Therefore, we treat the return as carefully as we plan the departure.

Nautica Luxury Corporation provides detailed and transparent quotes after understanding your needs.
What is the best time for a yacht charter in Costa Smeralda?
The Costa Smeralda charter season runs from May to October. July and August offer ideal weather but also the busiest and highest prices.
June and first week of September represent the sweet spot: perfect temperatures, warm sea, less congested marinas.
May and late September are the months favored by connoisseurs for editorial light, more affordable prices and intimate atmosphere.
Do you need a boat license to charter a yacht in Costa Smeralda?
No. All our yacht charters in Costa Smeralda include professional captain and crew. No boat license is required from guests.
The captain is qualified for the required sailing and manages every technical aspect of the cruise. The bareboat (unmanned) mode is not part of Nautica Luxury Corporation’s luxury offering.

The basic price generally includes: the boat, crew (captain, sailor, hostess), insurance, safety equipment.
The following are usually extras: fuel (handled through APA – Advance Provisioning Allowance), galley, marinas, drinks, tourist taxes, any premium services (private chef, advanced water toys, helicopter transfers).
Each Nautica Luxury Corporation quote clearly details what is included and what is optional.
What are the most recommended departure ports for an Emerald Coast charter?
The most popular ports are Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo, Cannigione, Poltu Quatu, and Olbia. Porto Cervo is the icon of luxury and offers the ultimate in onshore services; Porto Rotondo is slightly more intimate and elegant; Cannigione is strategic for routes to the La Maddalena Archipelago; Poltu Quatu is the most exclusive fjord on the coast; and Olbia is ideal for those who want to minimize transfer time from the airport.
The choice depends on the desired route and personal taste.
Can I charter a yacht in Costa Smeralda for just one weekend?
Yes. Nautica Luxury Corporation organizes short charters starting from 3 days (long weekends), especially popular for special occasions, romantic getaways, anniversaries or private events on board.
Availability for short charters is highest in the low and mid seasons, while in the high season (July-August) weekly booking is the most popular mode.
What itineraries can be done starting from the Emerald Coast?
From a port on the Emerald Coast, it is possible to reach the La Maddalena Archipelago (Spargi, Budelli, Caprera, Santa Maria), the iconic bays of Cala di Volpe, Liscia di Vacca, Romazzino, the islands of Tavolara and Molara to the southeast, and the Straits of Bonifacio with an excursion to South Corsica (Lavezzi, Cavallo, Bonifacio) in a day trip.
For longer charters, it is possible to extend to Cape Coda Cavallo and beyond.
Is it possible to hold private events on board during the charter?
