About chartering in Villasimius

Yacht charter in Villasimius is a coastal Sardinia escape with clear water, sheltered bays, and easy access to the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area. From the first departure, you are close to beaches, islands, and short hop cruising along one of southern Sardinia’s most scenic stretches.

The main departure point is the Marina di Villasimius area, including the Fortezza Vecchia side of town, which is used for day tours and boat hire. From here, charterers can head along the Villasimius coast toward famous stops such as Porto Giunco, Punta Molentis, and the offshore islands of Isola dei Cavoli and Isola di Serpentara.

A day trip from Villasimius typically reaches the bays and headlands around Capo Carbonara, where the sea is well suited to swimming, snorkelling, and relaxed coastal cruising. With a boat, you can move between beaches and anchorages that are close together, making the area practical for both short outings and full-day itineraries.
