Another lure for yachtsmen visiting the Costa Smeralda is the La Maddalena archipelago of 60 islands lying very close to the coast, in the Strait of Bonifacio, which has the status of a national park and can offer a lot of beautiful places for anchorage and snorkeling.Porto Pollo has excellent conditions for kite and windsurfing. And literally opposite the fashionable resort of Cala di Volpe is the island of Mortorio with a fantastic white beach. Also, once in this part of Sardinia, you can also visit the nearby island of Corsica.

At the peak of summer, Porto Cervo and the Costa Smeralda can seem overcrowded. In this case, you can schedule your charter at the beginning or end of the high season or explore other parts of Sardinia.In the north of the island you can find granite rocks, caves and grottoes, and once in the south, you will certainly appreciate Cagliari, which has retained the look and atmosphere of a medieval city with its castles, cathedrals and narrow cobbled streets.On the west coast, Alghero, with its Gothic architecture and the nearby limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia, deserves a visit.
