Private Day Yacht Charter in Sardinia, One Full Day at Sea
A day yacht charter in Sardinia puts a private motor yacht at your disposal for roughly eight hours, with a captain and crew handling the route. Couples, families and groups of friends use the day to reach quieter bays, swim from the platform, and return to port by evening, without committing to a multi-day trip.

What does a day yacht charter in Sardinia actually include?
A day charter puts a private motor yacht at your disposal for a single day, usually around eight hours, with no night spent aboard and no transit between regions. The plan is built around your group: how many stops you want, how far apart they sit, and what the forecast allows on the day. Some guests prefer one or two long stops at anchor for swimming and lunch; others want to cover more ground and see several bays and islands in a single run. Vessel choice reflects daily guest capacity, deck layout and how easily tenders reach the water, rather than range or sleeping cabins. Departure and return times are agreed before you board; the final sequence of stops is confirmed once conditions on the day are known.
Yachts Available for Day Charter
Six motor yachts from 47 to 62.5 metres, each suited to a different size of group and style of day, from quiet anchor time to a fuller coastal route.

Who is a one-day yacht charter in Sardinia best suited to?
A one-day charter suits couples wanting a quiet stretch of water away from the coast, families with children who need shallow swim stops and space to move around, and groups of friends who want to treat a single day as the main event rather than one stop on a longer trip. It also works for a corporate or celebration day on the water, built around a specific date rather than a full week.
Because there is no overnight, the format stays flexible: you can keep the day slow, with one long anchorage for swimming and lunch, or ask for a route covering several bays if your group wants to see more ground. The right yacht depends less on cabin count and more on deck space, tender access and how many guests will be in the water at once.
How is the route and timing for a day charter decided?
The route is set before you board and adjusted once conditions on the day are confirmed. Three things shape it: how many stops your group wants, the distance between them, and the sea state on the day, since open crossings and sheltered anchorages behave differently depending on wind and swell.
A typical day might include a transit along the coast, one or two stops at anchor for swimming, a pause near a quieter bay away from the busier beaches, and lunch either on board or at a restaurant reachable by tender. Some itineraries stay closer to shallow anchor fields around the Maddalena islands, where tenders and swim platforms are easy to use; others run closer to the coast near Costa Smeralda, with a stop near one of the beach clubs along that stretch.
Departure and return times are agreed in advance, and the home port is fixed unless you request pick-up or drop-off elsewhere.
Questions before you book
-
How long does a day yacht charter in Sardinia last?
A day charter is typically structured around eight hours, covering departure, several stops at anchor or ashore, and return to the home port. Extra hours can be added on request if you want a longer day on the water.
-
Can we stop for lunch during the day charter?
Yes. The itinerary can include lunch on board or a stop at a coastal restaurant reached by tender. Onboard catering and a chef service are available on request as a paid extra.
-
What is included in the price shown for the fleet?
The rate covers the yacht for one day with captain and crew, insurance, berth at the home port, water, soft drinks, snacks and fruit, beach towels, snorkelling gear, paddleboards and the onboard sound system. Fuel is charged separately on actual consumption.
-
Can we choose which bays or islands we visit?
Yes. The route is built around your preferences, the distance between the stops you want, and conditions on the day, so the final plan can include specific bays or islands you have in mind.
-
Is a day charter different from a weekly charter?
Yes. A day charter runs for a single day without an overnight stay or transit between regions, while a weekly charter covers multiple days and longer distances. The two serve different kinds of trips.
