Sardinia's north-east is the best sheltered cruising in the western Mediterranean and the most expensive part of Italy to keep a boat. The Maddalena archipelago sits half an hour from Porto Cervo and is the reason people charter here: granite islands, sand and water that looks Caribbean until you get the bill for the berth.
Ask several charter companies what your week costs
Sardinia boat rental: what is published
Boataround publishes a from-price per day that renders in the visitor's own currency, from 706 USD or 592 EUR read on 11 September 2026, for a 16.7m Solaris 55 at Porto Rotondo, marked Skippered, with the mandatory skipper priced separately per day and a transit log charged per rental. That is a named, current listing rather than a range, and it shows the extras on the same page, which is rare. For weeks, Nautilus Yachting's Italian floor of around 1200 pounds for a low-season bareboat monohull is the closest published figure.
Sardinia boat hire: the permit that is not in the quote
The Maddalena archipelago is a national park. Navigating and anchoring in it needs a permit priced by boat size and duration, bought in advance, and charter companies normally arrange and bill it. It appears in no published charter rate anywhere, and it is not optional, so ask for the current figure at booking rather than discovering it at check-in.
Where a Sardinia boat charter week goes
Porto Rotondo or Cannigione out to La Maddalena and Caprera, on to Budelli and Spargi, with Bonifacio in Corsica a short crossing away if the weather is settled and the company permits an international passage. Short hops, exceptional anchorages, and a strong argument for a catamaran given how shallow and how popular the best spots are.
