Boat rental in Olbia is one of the most exciting experiences to discover northeastern Sardinia, starting from one of the island’s most accessible cities. Strategically located with an international airport and a well-equipped tourist marina, Olbia is the perfect sailing base for a sailing holiday in Sardinia. From here, you can easily set sail for Tavolara Island, Capo Figari, Porto Rotondo and the stunning bays of the Costa Smeralda by boat, all reachable in just a few hours.
Marina di Olbia is modern, safe and equipped with all services needed to prepare your boat: protected moorings, fuel, provisioning, technical support, restaurants and shops nearby. Compared to other ports along the Costa Smeralda, it offers more competitive prices and greater availability of boats. Boat rental in Olbia gives direct access south to the Tavolara Marine Park and north along the coast of Golfo Aranci, Marinella and Porto Rotondo, up to Arzachena and La Maddalena.
Another advantage is the wide selection of boats available: sailboats in Olbia for pure sailing lovers, catamarans in Olbia for maximum space and comfort, as well as motor yachts and crewed boats for a worry-free experience.
Sailing from Marina di Olbia gives you access to some of the most beautiful spots in Sardinia. Heading south, the Tavolara Marine Park offers dramatic cliffs, the islet of Molara, and wild coves for anchoring in turquoise waters: Cala Girgolu, Cala Tartaruga and Punta Est are perfect for snorkelling and private relaxation.
Heading north, you’ll cruise along scenic bays like Cala Sabina, Marinella and Capo Figari, all with sandy, sheltered seabeds ideal for swimming and overnight anchoring. From here, it’s just a short sail to Porto Rotondo, a chic seaside resort filled with waterfront restaurants, galleries and nightlife.
The true highlight begins after Punta Volpe, where you enter the La Maddalena Archipelago, a protected paradise of islands including Budelli, Razzoli, Santa Maria and Spargi. Explore natural pools, wind-shaped rocks and pristine waters perfect for diving. Don’t miss Cala Coticcio (Caprera), the Pink Beach (Budelli), and Cala Corsara (Spargi)—icons of this dream sailing route.

Boat rental in Olbia is ideal from May to October when the weather and winds are favourable. The Mistral wind blows steadily, perfect for sailing. During high season, book early and plan your anchorages, especially along the Costa Smeralda. The seabeds are mostly sandy and safe, but be cautious in marine protected areas like Tavolara, where anchoring is only allowed in marked zones.
Set sail early in the morning for calm seas and beautiful light for snorkelling and photography. Bring a nautical map, snorkel gear and plenty of fresh water—some anchorages are remote and without services.
