Charter a superyacht in
The La Maddalena Archipelago is Sardinia at its most untouched—a paradise of hidden coves, turquoise waters, and granite islands sculpted by the wind. A superyacht is the only way to truly experience this national park, floating between deserted beaches and secret anchorages where the water is so clear it seems unreal. Your yacht will take you to places that feel worlds away from civilization, yet never far from the bewitching glamour of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda.
With over 60 islands and islets in a blinding sapphire sea, La Maddalena is a yachting playground of immense beauty. Cruise between the archipelago’s highlights—the pink sands of Budelli, the fjord-like inlet of Razzoli, and the stunning boulder lagoons of Spargi. Unlike the celebrity vibe of nearby Porto Cervo, La Maddalena is a sanctuary — a place to drop anchor and relax. As the sun sets, you have a difficult choice to make: will you stay in this splendid place, drinking and dining under the stars, or will you venture onwards to the twinkling lights and wild nights of the Emerald Coast?

La Maddalena is far more than those bewitching shades of sea. It is an archipelago rich in history and varied landscapes. The main island, La Maddalena, offers cobbled streets, traditional trattorias, and a lively harbor scene. Nearby, Caprera is a landscape of untamed wilderness, where the jagged coast of turquoise coves and cliffs soon gives way to forests of pine and holly oaks. Caprera island was also home to Italy’s national hero, Garibaldi, and his house and tomb remains one of Sardinia’s most significant cultural sites.
The peak yachting season runs from June to September, when the Mediterranean sun is at its brightest and the seas are warm and inviting. July and August bring high-energy glamour, with superyachts lining the coast of Costa Smeralda, their guests moving between exclusive beach clubs and fine dining under the stars. The Maddalena archipelago itself remains a tranquil retreat, offering serene anchorages for lazy, sun-drenched days.
For those who seek greater seclusion, May and September are blissful months for a La Maddalena yacht charter. The weather is still warm, the waters are stunningly clear, and the beaches are almost empty. Late September also brings a unique charm, with the grape harvest season in Sardinia offering exclusive wine tastings and harvest festivals just a short drive inland.
While La Maddalena is best explored at anchor, there are marinas offering berths for superyachts. Cala Gavetta Marina in La Maddalena town accommodates yachts up to 60m, while Marina di Porto Massimo offers exclusive docking for yachts up to 50m. Other options include Porto Palma (40m) Santa Teresa di Gallura (35m), and Marina del Ponte (up to 30m). Larger yachts can dock at Porto Cervo (up to 120m), a short cruise away on the Sardinian mainland.
