It all starts with a quick conversation with one of Burgess’ expert brokers. We’ll ask you questions about what kind of experience you’re looking for, number of guests, ideal destinations, and the activities you enjoy. From there, we’ll curate a shortlist of yachts – from sleek motor yachts to sailing yachts and explorers, alongside suggested cruising grounds to suit your dream itinerary.

Most yachts can comfortably accommodate 8-12 guests, depending on their length. For larger parties, some yachts built to the Passenger Yacht Code (PYC) can carry up to 36 guests – typically on vessels over 80m (260ft) long. For docked events, yachts can often host a larger number of guests provided they remain in port.

A successful yacht charter is far more than just a yacht. Our brokers bring specialist knowledge, an international network of trusted contacts, and a first-hand understanding of yachts, crews, cruising grounds, legal contracts, and local regulations. From itinerary design to on board experience, we handle every detail – and if anything unexpected arises, having an experienced broker to protect your interests and build a plan B is hugely reassuring.

Creating the unforgettable is what we do at Burgess. It’s what our knowledge, experience, and passion are all about. We take all the hassle out of the planning so all you need to do is turn up and have the best holiday ever.

A few weeks before your charter, you’ll receive a detailed preference form that covers everything from dietary and medical requirements to entertainment and celebration plans. This ensures your crew has everything they need to tailor the on board experience to your precise specifications, so you can relax in the confidence that every detail is taken care of.

Corsica and Sardinia are among the top Mediterranean destinations for luxury yacht charters, offering a stunning combination of natural beauty, cultural charm, and exclusive experiences.
Corsica impresses with granite cliffs, secluded beaches, and lush mountainous interior, making it ideal for cruising, diving and snorkelling, while also boasting a rugged culinary tradition with fresh seafood and local cheeses.
Sardinia complements this with crystal-clear turquoise waters, hidden coves, and a sophisticated lifestyle, especially in Porto Cervo which is known for refined nightlife, luxury spas, and exquisite Mediterranean gastronomy.

The best time to enjoy a yacht charter in Corsica and Sardinia is between May and September. During these months, you’ll experience the warm weather typical of the Mediterranean, ranging between 21-32°C (70-90°F), alongside calm seas and plenty of sunshine – perfect conditions for yachting, swimming, and al fresco dining. This peak Mediterranean season also ensures the best access to vibrant coastal towns and secluded anchorages.

Corsica and Sardinia are easily accessible via well-connected regional airports. Figari Sud Corse Airport (FSC) is a key hub for Corsica, while Sardinia is served by Olbia (OLB), Alghero (AHO), and Cagliari (CAG) airports. Burgess’ charter professionals will arrange private transfers from any of these airports directly to your yacht, ensuring a hassle-free start to your charter.

A yacht charter in Corsica and Sardinia offers a unique blend of adventure, culture, and indulgence. Snorkel or dive in crystal-clear waters, unwind on sun-kissed beaches, or explore UNESCO-listed natural wonders such as Scandola Nature Reserve and the Gulf of Porto. Wander through the historic coastal towns of Bonifacio, Calvi and Alghero, enjoy gourmet dining on board or ashore and rejuvenate with spa treatments. Later on, immerse yourself in the vibrant nightlife, especially in glamorous hubs like Porto Cervo. Each itinerary is fully customisable, tailored to your pace and passions.
