Yacht charter prices in Sardinia fluctuate depending on factors such as the yacht's type, the time of year, and the charter duration. During the peak summer season, especially in July and August, prices tend to be at their highest, while the shoulder months like April and October provide a quieter, more relaxed experience at more affordable rates. While one-week charters are in high demand, booking for longer durations often results in attractive discounts. For the best selection and the greatest flexibility, it's recommended to book well in advance, allowing for better room to negotiate. For those who prefer spontaneous plans, great savings may still be available, though yacht availability could be limited.

In addition to the charter's base cost, a 22% VAT is applied in Sardinia. Most charters also require an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) of 35-40%, which covers costs like fuel, food, beverages, dock fees, and other services aboard. Any unused APA is refunded, while additional charges for extra services are billed separately, ensuring a customized and smooth experience for everyone.

The best time to set sail on a yacht charter in Sardinia is between May and October. The summer months of July and August bring the highest demand, with the island’s stunning coastline bustling with visitors. However, the early summer months of May and June promise a more serene experience, with pleasant temperatures and calm waters ideal for exploration. Sardinia’s beautiful landscapes and crystal-clear seas come alive during this period.
