Costa Smeralda

Boat rentalin Sardinia

Granite rock, shallow bright water and one of the loveliest archipelagos in the Mediterranean.

What sailing is like here

The north of the island around the Costa Smeralda is the main area. The La Maddalena archipelago lies an hour’s sail off the coast and has dozens of anchorages. The strait between Sardinia and Corsica is windy and is planned for the morning, before the wind builds.

Season

From May to October. In August the Costa Smeralda is full and marina prices are among the highest in the Mediterranean.

Worth the voyage

La Maddalena
A national park of six larger islands and many small ones. Anchoring is regulated and charged.
Costa Smeralda
A jagged granite coast with water that looks more Caribbean than Mediterranean.
The Strait of Bonifacio
Eleven miles between Sardinia and Corsica. The wind accelerates here and turns a passage into real sailing.
