The coastline is indented and most of the beaches are long and sandy, alternating with stretches of cliffs, and bathed by the clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Wild and authentic, Sardinia has more than 2,000 km of coastline and more than 300 hidden beaches and coves to discover with a sailboat charter in Sardinia.

Where to sail in Sardinia?
Sardinia offers a huge choice of sailing areas, from the Maddalena archipelago in the north-east of the island to the Asinara National Park and the long beach of Chia, surrounded by lush vegetation. The north of the island is ideal if you like archipelagos and islets or if you want to reach the south of Corsica, but also if you are looking for a lively nightlife, which you will find on the Costa Smeralda, continuing towards the east coast,from Olbia to Cagliari, you will find long, golden sandy beaches with shallow waters. Orosei, Costa Rei and Villasimius, to name but a few, are very popular beaches, but they are so big that you will always find a quiet corner for yourself. What's more, by renting a sailboat in Sardinia, you can discover precious hidden coves lapped by turquoise waters and the best anchorages for scuba diving. If you are looking for even more unspoiled landscapes and less traveled sailing itineraries, head along the west coast towards Costa Verde, one of the best surfing spots in Sardinia, thanks to the almost constant winds. Huge dunes of fine sand shaped by the mistral, dotted with Mediterranean scrub, where the sea merges with the sky, including the dunes of Piscinas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
