Chartering a yacht in Sardinia? A La Maddalena yacht charter is the perfect way to explore its most exclusive and protected islands.
Available this summer with embarkation from Olbia or Porto Cervo.
Why Charter a Yacht in La Maddalena?
Located off Sardinia’s northeast coast, La Maddalena is a national marine park made up of more than 60 islands.
It offers pristine anchorages, crystal-clear waters, and limited access zones that preserve its beauty.
That’s why it’s considered one of the Mediterranean’s most desirable yacht charter destinations.
In addition, its proximity to Porto Cervo and Olbia makes it a perfect choice for embarkation, especially during the busy summer season.
Protected, private, and visually stunning — this archipelago is a must for discerning charter clients.
Top Reasons to Choose a La Maddalena Yacht Charter
- Weekly charters with seamless access to luxury marinas
La Maddalena is perfectly positioned near Porto Cervo and Olbia, offering smooth embarkation and disembarkation options.
- Anchorages exclusive to private yachts
Many of the islands can only be accessed by sea. For this reason, the region offers a level of privacy you won’t find elsewhere.
- Strict environmental protections help preserve beauty.
Because it’s a national park, large ships and mass tourism are restricted, making your experience both intimate and responsible.
- A short cruise from Porto Cervo and Costa Smeralda
In just under an hour, you can reach the archipelago from Sardinia’s most prestigious hubs — ideal for combining glamour with nature.
From luxury beach clubs to untouched coves, La Maddalena is where refined yachting meets natural wonder.
It’s a Sardinia yacht charter favourite — and for good reason.

Where to Anchor — Best Superyacht Bays in La Maddalena
La Maddalena is a dream for superyachts thanks to its wide range of protected bays and crystal-clear anchorages.
However, anchoring is only permitted in designated areas due to the park’s environmental restrictions.
Here’s a selection of the most breathtaking and accessible bays for charter yachts:
Cala Corsara (Spargi Island)
- Anchor depth: 5–10 m on sand
- Protection: Sheltered from north winds
- Highlights: Lush landscape, quiet overnight option, great for paddleboarding
Porto della Madonna (Budelli / Santa Maria / Razzoli)
- Anchor: Outside the shallow area only
- Access: Tender-only inside the lagoon
- Highlights: Natural “swimming pool” between three islands, dazzling turquoise waters, ideal for floating lunches and drone shots
Cala Napoletana (Caprera)
- Anchor: 4–8 m on sand
- Protection: Sheltered from west and northwest winds
- Highlights: Intimate and wild cove, perfect for a peaceful swim stop or early morning paddle session. Ideal for clients seeking privacy and raw beauty.
Pink Beach (Spiaggia Rosa, Budelli Island)
No anchoring or landing allowed — protected zone
- Anchor: Prohibited within 300 m (visual access only)
- Protection: Limited, open exposure to south winds
- Highlights: Iconic pink-hued sand formed by coral fragments. Fully protected — no swimming, anchoring, or disembarkation allowed. Admire from a respectful distance during a slow cruise or by tender.
🛑 Due to its ecological fragility, Spiaggia Rosa is off-limits to swimmers, divers, and boats. Respecting these limits is part of the exclusive yachting experience in Sardinia.
