Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly.

Why Rent a Catamaran in Porto Rotondo?

The Maddalena Advantage: The La Maddalena National Park is a maze of shallow, crystal-clear straits and rocky outcrops. A catamaran’s low draft is essential for safely navigating these stunning archipelagos and anchoring right off the famous pink and white sand beaches.

  • VIP Outdoor Living: The Costa Smeralda is all about seeing and being seen. Catamarans offer massive flybridges and wide aft cockpits, providing your group with a luxurious private terrace for sunset aperitivos.
  • Unmatched Stability: The Mistral wind can sometimes kick up a chop between Sardinia and Corsica. A catamaran’s twin hulls provide a stable, comfortable ride, minimizing seasickness and ensuring peaceful nights at anchor.
Captain’s Insider Tip: La Maddalena Park Permits “To sail and anchor within the spectacular La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, you must purchase a permit. Your charter base in Porto Rotondo can usually arrange this for you in advance. Always book your marina berths in Porto Cervo or Bonifacio well ahead of time during July and August!”
