Boat rental in Portisco is one of the most convenient and spectacular ways to explore the wonders of northern Sardinia by sea. This charming marina, located between Porto Cervo and Olbia, offers a peaceful and well-equipped base for setting off on a sailing holiday in Sardinia. In just a few miles of navigation, you can reach postcard-perfect beaches, wild islands, and some of the most exclusive bays of the Costa Smeralda, all with the freedom and comfort of your own boat.
Marina di Portisco is one of the most modern and welcoming marinas in Sardinia. Located in a natural bay protected from the wind and waves, it offers over 500 berths, fuel service, provisioning, technical support, and guarded parking. Its location is ideal for reaching the most beautiful destinations of the Costa Smeralda by boat, avoiding the chaos of more crowded ports like Porto Cervo. Thanks to its proximity to Olbia airport (only 20 minutes by car), it's also perfect for travellers arriving from abroad.
Starting from here, you can sail north towards La Maddalena and Caprera, or south towards Tavolara and the Gulf of Orosei, passing through hidden coves, white sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
Just a few minutes after leaving the marina, you’ll find yourself immersed in the emerald waters of the Costa Smeralda. Among the must-see stops are Liscia Ruja and Cala Petra Ruja, wide bays with turquoise water and a relaxed atmosphere. Continuing north, the route takes you to the islands of Soffi and Mortorio—uninhabited and protected, perfect for a peaceful anchorage and a swim in absolute tranquillity.
A short sail further takes you to the Maddalena Archipelago, a national park that includes islands such as Spargi, Budelli (with the famous Pink Beach), and Caprera, rich in wild nature and history. These waters are perfect for sailing, with regular winds and plenty of anchorages in stunning coves. To the south, the imposing silhouette of Tavolara dominates the horizon. This limestone mountain rising from the sea offers unique trekking opportunities, as well as transparent waters for diving and snorkelling. Don't miss a stop at Cala Brandinchi and Lu Impostu, also known as the “Tahiti of Sardinia” for their exotic beauty.
