Olbia is the arrival point for the Costa Smeralda. Within this Mediterranean destination for a yacht charter, the region's private aviation is handled through Eccelsa Aviation at Olbia Costa Smeralda (OLB). From here, Porto Cervo is located roughly 30 kilometres to the north by road. For those arriving by sea, the local marina on record is Marina di Olbia, which accommodates vessels up to an indicative 90 metres in length overall.

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.
Blue Ocean Club matches each crewed yacht charter Olbia enquiry to yachts whose published operating area, specifications and current availability fit the requested dates. The final shortlist is checked against the yacht's authorised charter information before contract, and route details remain subject to operating conditions and the captain's final approval.
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.
Season, route, hull and investment — the four things every guest asks before we lock a yacht.
Seasonal conditions in Olbia vary by exact cruising area and dates. Blue Ocean Club does not apply a generic Mediterranean or tropical weather assumption here; current operating conditions are confirmed for the requested itinerary before charter.
The strongest Olbia itinerary is built from destination-specific marinas, anchorages and places that are actually available for the requested dates. The route remains flexible around weather, berth availability, local restrictions and the yacht's operating limits.
The most suitable yacht for Olbia depends on guest count, layout preference, draft, range, speed and the intended itinerary. Compare the verified specifications on the individual yacht listings rather than relying on a generic destination-wide yacht type.
Charter pricing in Olbia depends on the yacht, dates, operating area and the final charter terms. Verified yacht rates are shown on individual listings when available; taxes, operating expenses, provisioning and any other booking-specific charges are confirmed before contract rather than estimated from a global template. Minimum charter duration is yacht- and date-specific.
