Discover Italy's Best Eco Solar Yacht Charters

⚓ Eight crewed solar catamarans and sailboats slipping out of Marina di Portisco toward the Maddalena islands — a private week where the generator never wakes you.

↓ pick your yacht & your week — the islands are yours

Forget ferry timetables and crowded beaches. An eco solar yacht charter out of Olbia hands your group the whole vessel, a professional crew and seven days of granite islands, turquoise channels and quiet anchorages off Sardinia’s northeast coast. The solar array on board keeps the fridge, the air conditioning and the music running without a generator humming under your feet — which is exactly why the calmest bays stay calm. 🌊☀️

🗺️ Your Week Between Sardinia and the Maddalena Islands

Route planning map for a weekly eco solar yacht charter from Olbia, Sardinia

Board on Saturday afternoon at Marina di Portisco, provision, and let the captain read the forecast. A classic seven-day run heads north through the Strait of Bonifacio toward the Maddalena archipelago, or south along the Costa Smeralda — with two or three swim stops a day and a different harbour each night. 🛥️

Show details

Day 1 — boarding & first anchorage. A calm first hop to a sheltered cove off Capo Ferro for a swim and dinner on board while the crew runs through the systems, the solar setup and the week ahead.
Days 2-4 — island hopping. Long mornings under sail, lunch at anchor off Spargi or Budelli, afternoons in a new bay. The solar array means the air conditioning stays on and the ice stays frozen without the generator.
💡 Insider tip: ask your captain to leave the popular bays before 9:00 — the light is better, the water is flatter and you will have the anchorage to yourselves.

These weekly charters suit families, groups of friends and couples who want a private crewed week rather than a hotel. Skipper, crew and yacht are yours alone; you only decide which island is next.

Learn More About Eco Solar Yacht Charter in Italy

What is included in a weekly eco solar yacht charter from Olbia?

Most crewed charters include the yacht, a professional skipper and crew, bed linen and towels, final cleaning, gas, and the solar and battery system that covers the onboard hotel load. Food, drinks, fuel and marina fees are usually settled separately — check the live listing for exact terms.

Do we need sailing experience to charter a crewed yacht in Sardinia?

No. Every yacht in this selection comes with a professional crew, so navigation, mooring and safety are their job, not yours.

How many guests can these eco solar catamarans take?

The catamarans in this selection typically sleep eight to twelve guests in private cabins, and all of them are licensed for day guests as well as overnight stays.

Which islands can we reach in a week from Marina di Portisco?

A classic week covers the Maddalena archipelago, Caprera, Spargi, Budelli and the Costa Smeralda, with the Strait of Bonifacio and southern Corsica within reach on a longer run north. Your skipper builds the route around the wind.

Why choose a solar yacht instead of a classic motor yacht?

Solar panels keep the fridge, air conditioning and electronics running at anchor without a generator. That means silent evenings, cleaner air and longer time in the quiet bays.

How far ahead should we book for the Sardinian summer?

July and August sell out months ahead, and the best catamarans go first. Spring and autumn weeks are easier, calmer and often the smartest choice.
