The marina & destination Marina Golfo Cugnana · Italy
Based at Marina Golfo Cugnana, Italy. Bollinger is operated by Marina Yacht Charter.
Why this is a great starting point
Marina Golfo Cugnana in Olbia sits on Sardinia's northeast coast, placing you within easy reach of the Maddalena Archipelago and the Costa Smeralda granite islands. Week 1 typically involves sailing northeast to explore protected anchorages around La Maddalena National Park, with consistent summer thermals building through the afternoon. The marina also offers quick access south to the Tavolara-Punta Coda Cavallo marine reserve, making it ideal if you prefer shorter hops and established anchorages over open-water sailing.
Good to know Check-in Flexible · 17:00 · out 09:00
- Location
- Marina Golfo Cugnana · Italy
- Check-in
- Flexible from 17:00. Alternative times can usually be agreed with the operator at booking.
- Check-out
- By 09:00 on the return day. Empty the boat, refuel if required, then a 30-minute handover with the base manager.
- Licences
- ICC or RYA Day Skipper licence and VHF certificate are required. Italian operators ask for a sailing CV; conditions are stricter in the Aeolian Islands than on the mainland.
- Security deposit
- €3,500 · held at base by card swipe or cash. Refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
- Cancellation
- Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance via a UK broker (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).

A starting point, not a script — pick one as a template and we'll tailor the dates, stops, and pace to your crew.
Amalfi Coast
Spectacular but anchorages crowd in July-August. Book restaurant moorings ahead.
1 Salerno
Charter base. Spend the first night here before the coast.
2 Amalfi
Tie alongside or pick up a mooring outside the breakwater.
3 Positano
No marina — moor offshore and tender in. The dramatic photo stop.
4 Capri
Marina Grande books months ahead; many boats anchor in Marina Piccola instead.
5 Procida
Quieter than Capri, equally pretty. Marina di Corricella has the colourful houses.
Sardinia & La Maddalena
Turquoise water and granite islands. Two-country tick (Italy + Corsica/France) without long sails.
1 Olbia
Charter base.
2 Maddalena
Permits required — the park office handles them; budget €20-30 per night.
3 Caprera
Garibaldi's island; clear anchorages on the east side.
4 Bonifacio
French Corsica — cliff-faced fjord harbour. Stamp the passport. Worth the day.
Frequently asked questions 14 answers
Can Bollinger be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Bollinger bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Bollinger?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?
Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.
Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?
Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.
Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?
Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.
What happens if there's bad weather on the day?
For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.
Can I hold this yacht while I decide?
Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.
