Marina di Portisco is set within a naturally sheltered inlet on Sardinia’s northeast coast, between the Costa Smeralda and the Gulf of Cugnana. Its position gives the marina a quieter, more self-contained feel than some of the busier ports nearby, while still placing Porto Cervo, Baja Sardinia and Olbia within easy reach. The harbour is surrounded by low hills and Mediterranean vegetation, with beaches and clear-water coves close by. With a sizeable yacht harbour, waterfront facilities and direct access to northern Sardinia’s cruising grounds, Portisco feels purpose-built for spending time on the water before setting off on a charter.
Marina di Portisco is an excellent starting point for exploring northeast Sardinia by catamaran. The Costa Smeralda is close by, with bays and beaches around Cala di Volpe, Liscia Ruja and the islands of Mortorio and Soffi providing attractive early stops. From there, you can continue north towards the La Maddalena Archipelago, where Caprera, Spargi, Budelli and Santa Maria offer a varied mix of anchorages and island scenery. Longer itineraries can also cross the Strait of Bonifacio towards southern Corsica, subject to your route and weather conditions. Olbia and its airport are around 15–20 km away, making Portisco relatively easy to reach for international arrivals. Its biggest advantage as a charter base is that the main cruising grounds are close at hand, so you can spend less time on an initial passage and more time exploring Sardinia’s coastline.

Marina di Portisco has a good range of practical facilities for charter guests, including fresh water and shore power at the berths, toilets and showers, parking, and mooring assistance. A supermarket, restaurants, bars and shops are available within the marina area, making it straightforward to organise provisions and enjoy a meal ashore before departure or after returning. A fuel station serves the harbour, while laundry and technical yacht services are also available through the marina and local operators. Some charter bases can arrange grocery delivery directly to the yacht, which can be particularly useful on a busy embarkation day.
