Where do yachts depart from in Porto Pollo?

Yachts depart from Porto Pollo Marina, a small but functional quay on the north Sardinian coast, with additional access points along the sandy beaches near the Windsurf Village and MB-Pro Center. These spots offer easy shore access and proximity to water sports schools, making them ideal for sail and motor boat charters.

The marina is nestled between two white-sand bays—one for windsurfing, one for kitesurfing—ensuring calm waters for departure and quick access to open sea routes.

What islands and anchorages can I reach on a day trip from Porto Pollo?

On a day trip, you can reach Isola dei Gabbiani (Isuledda), a beautiful island just off the peninsula, and the distant Maddalena Islands, known for their pristine anchorages and diving spots. Secret coves along the 7 km coastline offer tranquil spots for anchoring, especially near the water sports schools.

For adventurous sailors, the archaeological site of Filitosa and the wild beauty of Punta Sardegna are also within reach, adding cultural and natural depth to your itinerary.

When is the best sailing season in Porto Pollo?

The best sailing season in Porto Pollo runs from Easter until the end of October, when winds are strongest and conditions are ideal for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and general boating. Summer months offer consistent winds, making it a hotspot for competitive water sports and leisure charters alike.

Outside this window, winds weaken, and water sports schools may reduce operations, though the area remains accessible for calm-day sailing.

What licence or skipper rules apply for boat charters in Italy?

In Italy, sail and motor boat charters require either a valid national licence (e.g., Italian “Patente Nautica”) or an internationally recognised equivalent, such as the RYA Day Skipper certificate. If you lack a licence, you must hire a professional skipper, which is readily available through local agencies.

For motor boats over 40 HP, a licence is mandatory; for sail boats, proof of competency is often required unless a skipper is onboard.

How do I get to Porto Pollo from the nearest airport?

The nearest airport is Olbia-Costa Smeralda Airport (approximately 60 km away), with a rough transfer time of 1 hour by car or shuttle. Alternatively, you can fly into Cagliari Airport (about 150 km away), requiring a 2-hour drive.

Once in Palau (the commune), Porto Pollo is a short 10-minute drive, with parking available near the marina and beaches.
