About chartering in Porto Pozzo

Chartering in Porto Pozzo offers an idyllic blend of natural beauty and modern marina facilities, perfect for amateur and professional sailors seeking exceptional mooring in Sardinia's north. The departure point is the newly revamped Pontili Sintonia Marina, a private harbor surrounded by a natural park and offering over 400 berths for diverse vessel types. From here, a day trip easily reaches the stunning Strait of Bonifacio, the rugged granite coasts of Corsica, or the iconic Tavolara Island and its crystal-clear anchorages.

The setting is defined by turquoise waters, giant granite rocks, and the historic connection between Sardinia and Corsica, once joined by volcanic land before being torn apart.
