Olbia is the arrival point for the Costa Smeralda. Olbia Costa Smeralda (OLB) handles the region's private aviation through Eccelsa Aviation, and Porto Cervo is roughly 30 km north by road.

Privacy, pace, and places you cannot reach by road.
A luxury yacht charter Olbia rewards guests with a combination you cannot replicate from a hotel: total privacy, an itinerary that flexes around your party, and access to coves, restaurants and reefs that road-bound travellers simply never see. Blue Ocean Club curates Olbia cruises across motor yachts, sailing yachts, catamarans and superyachts — every option live-priced against the global live availability feed and presented with our 100% best-price guarantee.
Olbia sits at the heart of one of the world's great cruising grounds. Days unfold at the pace of the sea: long swims off the platform, lunch at a beach club where your concierge has held the best table, an afternoon cruise to a quieter anchorage, cocktails on the bow as the light softens. The captain rewrites tomorrow's plan based on tonight's weather and your party's mood.
We work with a small list of crewed yacht charter Olbia operators we know personally — captains we have cruised with, chefs whose tasting menus we have eaten, stewardesses who know your children's names by the end of day one. The result is a charter that feels less like a booking and more like a private invitation.
Season, route, hull and investment — the four things every guest asks before we lock a yacht.
The Olbia charter season runs from late May through early October, with warm settled days, calm mornings and a reliable afternoon breeze. Sea temperatures climb into the mid-20s°C through high summer and the prevailing winds rarely exceed a comfortable Force 4.
Signature anchorages, swim-only coves and a handful of marquee harbours form the backbone of any Olbia sailing itinerary — your captain rotates between them daily based on wind, swell and the rhythm of your party.
A crewed catamaran in the 50–70 ft range remains the most versatile choice for Olbia, with shallow draft for tucked-away bays and the deck space families and groups expect. Couples often prefer a sailing yacht of 50–60 ft; larger parties step up to a motor yacht or superyacht with full crew.
Typical luxury yacht charter Olbia cost starts from around €25,000 per week for a comfortable crewed catamaran and scales to €150,000–€500,000+ for a 40 m superyacht — base rates are exclusive of APA (usually 25–35%), fuel, VAT and crew gratuity. Our charter managers run live availability against your dates and present the best three options, side by side, with a 100% best-price guarantee. Minimum charter duration is seven nights in peak season; short-week and split itineraries are available in shoulder months. Tell us your dates, party size and preferred yacht style and we will revert within the day — by email, WhatsApp or a 20-minute call with the broker who will run your charter.

A handful of signature experiences that define a charter on this coast.




Almost every Costa Smeralda charter starts here. The airport, the town marina and the ferry port sit within a few kilometres of each other, and the Gulf of Olbia is protected in almost all conditions.
Marina di Olbia is the principal yacht marina, on the north side of the gulf and close to the airport. Yachts frequently embark here and move north to Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo or the La Maddalena archipelago on the same day.
June to September, with the first two weeks of September often the best combination of weather and availability.

“Olbia is one of the destinations I quietly hope clients ask me about — there are corners of it most charter brochures never show. Late June and early September are my personal favourite weeks — warm water, lighter traffic, and the crews are at their sharpest. The La Maddalena national park requires a permit per yacht per day — arrange through your agent.”

Planning intelligence
Everything you would need to decide on this destination today — seasons, suitability, yachts, aircraft, demand and booking pressure. Each line carries its confidence level, and anything we cannot support says so.
Climate, travel seasons, charter seasons and the operational wind and storm patterns that actually apply here.
Rated on stored evidence, not opinion: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Limited or Unavailable.

Described objectively — ages, access, indoor options and medical proximity.

Decision support
The Western Mediterranean is the most infrastructure-dense cruising ground in the world: deep-water superyacht berths, private-jet gateways, Michelin dining and world-class shopping sit inside an hour of each other, and passages between harbours are short enough that guests are almost never at sea when they would rather be ashore.
Who should look elsewhere: Travellers who want empty anchorages, wilderness or a low-key trip in peak summer. July and August are crowded, expensive and heavily booked; the same coast in May or October is a materially different experience.
How long to stay: Seven nights covers the core harbours comfortably. Ten to fourteen nights allows Corsica or Sardinia to be added without rushing.
