Sardinia | 4-day itinerary

1. Olbia

We start our long weekend on your luxury yacht, embarking in Olbia, northeast Sardinia. You may want to explore the city with its medieval San Simplicio Basilica, or enjoy a typical Italian coffee in one of their many piazzas. History lovers may take the opportunity to visit the Museo Archeologico with its ancient Roman warships or venture to the scenic Nuraghe Riu Mulinu which is an archaeological complex with spectacular views of the Gulf of Olbia and protected marine reserve of Tavolara. In the evening you can settle in on your superyacht to enjoy the special cuisine of your personal chef then stroll into town for a late drink at one of the laid-back bars.

2. La Maddalena

Olbia gives access to the exclusive Costa Smeralda with its turquoise coves and beautiful islands and famed for its natural harbour featuring in the James Bond film ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’. We set off early to reach the archipelago of La Maddalena, the first National Park of Sardinia, and an area of unique natural beauty. There are so many stunning places to moor in the archipelago of La Maddalena, which is full of mystery and myths. The myriad beaches are characterised by their clear waters, and with more than 60 islands to choose from you are guaranteed to find places to enjoy your diving and snorkelling – some of the best in the whole of the Mediterranean.

3. Porto Cervo and Portisco

We can stay a little longer to enjoy the beauty of the islands before heading south along the Costa Smerelda to the chic Porto Cervo, which boasts rock star and royalty as its guests. The marina sits in a picturesque harbour where you will also find the exclusive Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. This is superyacht heaven, hosting famous regattas and World Series events and where you can see some of the largest luxury yachts in the world. Here we can choose to anchor in the bay or disembark to take advantage of the vibrant nightlife and elite shops.
Porto Cervo village is also worthy of a visit, with its famously eco-friendly design, and if there is time we can make our way to view the Stella Maris church with its surprising architectural style. The picturesque beach at Pevero is famous for its clear turquoise waters, so if you prefer a more relaxing afternoon, then we can make our way to this safe and pristine bathing spot.

4. Porto Rotondo

We are spoilt for choice as we head back to Olbia, stopping either at Porto Rotondo or Portisco for a lasting memory of the chic or the quaint. In Porto Rotondo your superyacht will moor in the stylish marina, offering a view of the impressive celebrity mansions and access to luxurious shops and restaurants. This area also boasts fine sand beaches, so you really can have the best of both worlds! Portisco on the other hand is an idyllic and quaint village with a reputation for magical beauty and unique culture. The white sand beach of Portisco is especially suitable for inexperienced swimmers, and we can enjoy the best snorkelling off the Petra Ruja beach not far away.
