Renting a boat in Sardinia

Sardinia, with its crystal-clear sea and breathtaking coastline, is a perfect destination for a boating holiday. Renting a boat allows you to discover hidden coves, unspoilt beaches and unique views that are not accessible by land. From sailing boats to dinghies to luxury yachts, the possibilities are endless for the experience that best suits your needs.

Why choose a boat holiday in Sardinia?

With a boat, you can explore some of the most picturesque areas of the island:

• The Maddalena Archipelago – con le sue isole paradisiache e le acque turchesi.
• The Emerald Coast – famosa per il lusso e per spiagge da sogno come Cala di Volpe e Liscia Ruja.
• The Gulf of Orosei – una perla per gli amanti della natura con calette come Cala Luna e Cala Mariolu.
• Il sud dell’isola – con la Baia di Chia e le dune di Porto Pino.

Types of boats available

Sardinia offers a wide range of boats for hire:

• Sailing boats - perfect for an adventure in relaxation and nature.
• Inflatable boats and motorboats - ideal for quickly reaching the most isolated coves.
• Catamarans - for those seeking ample space and comfort, ideal for families or groups.
• Luxury yachts - for an exclusive experience with every comfort on board.

With or without a skipper?

No browsing experience? No problem. Many boats are available with a skipper, who will not only guide the boat safely, but also show you the most beautiful and less frequented places. If, on the other hand, you are an experienced sailor, you can hire a boat without a skipper and experience the sea in total autonomy.
