Costa Smeralda
The granite-framed north-east coast between Porto Cervo and the Gulf of Cugnana. Pale sand, clear shallow water and a string of sheltered bays make it the heart of most Sardinia charters.

Sardinia
Sardinia is where a Mediterranean charter turns from coastline to archipelago. The north-east — the Costa Smeralda around Porto Cervo — combines granite headlands, pale sand and remarkably clear water, and north of it the La Maddalena islands form a protected national park.
Lund Group curates day charters and weekly superyacht itineraries across Sardinia, from Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo and Poltu Quatu to the quieter south, and plans crossings to Corsica. We arrange the jets, helicopters, cars and villas around the yacht. Every yacht and every date is confirmed with the owner's representatives before it is offered to you.

The granite-framed north-east coast between Porto Cervo and the Gulf of Cugnana. Pale sand, clear shallow water and a string of sheltered bays make it the heart of most Sardinia charters.
The harbour at the centre of the Costa Smeralda. Berths in high summer are limited and allocated by the marina, so many yachts anchor nearby and bring guests ashore by tender.
A protected national park of islands north of the coast — Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli, Santa Maria and Caprera. Park rules govern where yachts may anchor and navigate; the captain plans around them.
A wide, sheltered bay south of Porto Cervo, popular for a calm night at anchor and an easy tender ride ashore.
A smaller, quieter harbour on the Gulf of Cugnana, often used for embarkation and as an alternative to Porto Cervo.
A narrow natural inlet north of Porto Cervo, with a sheltered marina and quick access to the Maddalena islands.
A perfect day
Morning
Embark in Porto Cervo or Porto Rotondo and cruise north towards the Maddalena islands with breakfast on deck.
Late morning
Swim stops in the clear channels around Spargi or Caprera, where park rules allow, with water toys where available.
Lunch
Lunch at anchor on board, or by tender to a restaurant ashore, requested in advance.
Afternoon
A slow return along the Costa Smeralda, a quiet anchorage at Cala di Volpe, and the harbour at golden hour.
Charter lengths
For guests staying on the Costa Smeralda — a morning embarkation in Porto Cervo or Porto Rotondo, swim stops and lunch at anchor.

Sardinia & Corsica
The Strait of Bonifacio is only a short crossing, so a week can take in Bonifacio, the Lavezzi islands and Porto-Vecchio.
Cagliari, Villasimius and the south coast offer a quieter, less social Sardinia, ideal for longer or early-season charters.
Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo, Poltu Quatu and Olbia are the usual northern bases. Berths are confirmed by each marina.
Budget
We only publish price ranges when enough approved yachts are listed for Sardinia. Ask us for current rates for your dates.
The charter fee covers the yacht and crew. On top of it you should expect VAT where it applies, an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) for fuel, food, drink and port fees, possible delivery fees if the yacht comes from another port, and a customary crew gratuity at your discretion. We set out every element before you sign.
Timing & travel
The season runs from about May to early October. July and August are the busiest on the Costa Smeralda; June and September are often calmer, with warm water and more choice. The Mistral can shape plans on some days, and the captain adjusts the route.
Olbia Costa Smeralda is the main airport for the north-east and handles private aircraft; Cagliari and Alghero serve the south and west. We arrange private jets, including Milan to Sardinia, helicopter transfers and chauffeured cars to the quay.
