About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Oceanis 38
The Beneteau Oceanis 38 offers an elegant introduction to self-skippered sailing in the Mediterranean. Built in 2016, this contemporary sailing yacht combines straightforward handling with thoughtful interior design, making it equally suited to experienced sailors seeking independence and those ready to brush up their skills. Her light, naturally ventilated cabins and practical layout prioritise comfort without sacrificing the authentic sailing experience.
Three generous cabins and two heads provide the space and privacy needed for week-long passages.

This is a yacht designed for sailing, not showing; her strengths lie in responsive handling and reliable performance across the Tyrrhenian waters.

The Charter Experience
Charter bareboat from Portisco on Sardinia's northern coast and gain direct access to some of Europe's most rewarding sailing grounds. The Maddalena archipelago lies minutes away, offering sheltered anchorages, granite formations, and crystalline waters. From here, longer passages reach Corsica, the Aeolian Islands, or the Italian mainland. Sardinia's consistent summer thermals, well-charted coastline, and vibrant coastal communities make this region ideal for sailors seeking both challenge and discovery. Provisioning, fuel, and local knowledge are readily available throughout the region.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might begin with coastal exploration around the Maddalena archipelago, anchoring at Spargi and Budelli before pushing south to the Tavolara seabed or west towards Corsican outposts. Prevailing northwesterlies favour passages to Bonifacio Strait, whilst lighter summer conditions suit day sailing among the archipelago's protected anchorages.
