Superyacht Charter In Corsica and Sardinia
Escape to Corsica and Sardinia on a Luxury Superyacht Charter
Corsica and Sardinia sit tantalisingly close across the Strait of Bonifacio, yet each brings a distinctly different character to a superyacht charter. Southern Corsica feels rugged and wonderfully untamed. Perched high above the sea on sheer limestone cliffs, Bonifacio appears almost to float above the Mediterranean. Alternatively Roccapina offers a slower pace offering quiet days at anchor. Cross into Sardinian waters and the scenery shifts again, from the granite islands and sheltered coves of the La Maddalena Archipelago to the polished marinas, restaurants and boutiques of the Costa Smeralda. Together, the two islands create a cruising ground that flows effortlessly between nature, culture and Mediterranean glamour.
The principal charter season runs from late spring into early autumn, with each part of summer offering a slightly different experience. June brings long, warm days and a gentler pace before the height of the season, while July and August see Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo and the surrounding coast at their most animated, with yachts gathering in the marinas and restaurants and beach clubs in full swing. By September, the sea remains warm and the summer atmosphere lingers, but quieter anchorages become easier to enjoy. Whether the priority is long days on the water or evenings immersed in the Costa Smeralda’s social scene, timing can shape the charter considerably.
I have always found Yomira extremely professional, straightforward, and easy to work with. Communication has always been excellent, and everything has been handled efficiently from the initial enquiry through to the charter itself.

Clifftop Charm of Bonifacio
Bonifacio sits dramatically above pale limestone cliffs at Corsica’s southern tip. Its historic citadel, narrow streets and rugged coastline give the town a distinctive character, while clear waters and secluded coves surround one of the island’s most memorable settings.
The Wild Beauty of Roccapina
Cala di Roccapina is a beautifully secluded bay framed by pale sand, turquoise water and sculpted granite. Overlooking the beach, the distinctive Lion de Roccapina gives the landscape an unmistakable character, while the surrounding hills and unspoilt coastline create a wonderfully wild setting on Corsica’s south-western shore.
Corsican Charm of Porto-Vecchio
Porto-Vecchio combines a historic hilltop old town with a lively marina and easy access to some of southern Corsica’s most beautiful beaches. Surrounded by pine-covered hills and clear Mediterranean waters, it has a relaxed yet polished feel, with boutique shopping, waterfront restaurants and a strong sense of Corsican character.
The Quiet Side of Corsica in Propriano
Propriano sits on the Gulf of Valinco, where forested hills meet a broad sweep of clear Mediterranean water. The town has an easygoing harbour atmosphere, with a compact waterfront, sandy beaches and a more understated character than Corsica’s better-known southern resorts. Its setting makes it a natural base for exploring the quieter bays and coves of the island’s south-west coast.
Ajaccio Between Mountains and Sea
Ajaccio blends a handsome waterfront with pastel façades, palm-lined streets and a strong sense of Corsican identity. Set against a backdrop of mountains and sweeping bay views, the island’s capital feels relaxed yet elegant, with lively cafés, local markets and historic streets that give it a character quite distinct from Corsica’s smaller coastal towns.
Sardinia’s Destinations
Tavolara’s Striking Landscape
Tavolara rises dramatically from the sea off Sardinia’s north-east coast, its sheer limestone cliffs forming one of the region’s most distinctive natural landmarks. Surrounded by clear water and protected marine landscapes, the island has a wonderfully remote feel, with quiet coves and an unspoilt setting that feels far removed from the busier resorts nearby.
The Glitz and Glamour of Porto Cervo
Porto Cervo is the glamorous heart of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda, known for its elegant marina, designer boutiques and lively summer atmosphere. Framed by sculpted granite and vivid blue water, it combines polished sophistication with the natural beauty that defines this celebrated stretch of coastline.
Untouched Beauty in La Maddalena
La Maddalena is surrounded by some of Sardinia’s most beautiful waters, where granite islands, sheltered coves and brilliant turquoise seas create an exceptional cruising ground. Part of a protected archipelago, it offers a quieter, more natural contrast to the polished atmosphere of the Costa Smeralda, with secluded anchorages and an unspoilt island character.
Olbia the Gateway to the Costa Smeralda
Olbia is a lively gateway to north-eastern Sardinia, combining a historic centre and waterfront atmosphere with easy access to the Costa Smeralda and surrounding islands. Its piazzas, local restaurants and archaeological heritage give the city a distinctly Sardinian character, while the nearby coastline opens onto clear bays and some of the island’s most celebrated cruising grounds.
Porto Rotondo by the Water
Porto Rotondo is one of northern Sardinia’s most refined coastal enclaves, centred around an elegant marina and a collection of sheltered bays. Its tree-lined streets, waterfront restaurants and polished village atmosphere create a relaxed alternative to nearby Porto Cervo, while the surrounding coastline offers clear water and easy access to some of the Costa Smeralda’s most appealing cruising areas.
