Porto di Carloforte

4.7 (452 reviews)

Porto di Carloforte sits on the eastern shore of Isla di San Pietro, a small Ligurian-speaking island off southwestern Sardinia that feels like a world apart. The marina, operated by Marina Sifredi, offers flexible long-term mooring options (6, 9, and 12 months) alongside hauling services, making it a solid base if you're planning an extended stay in the area. From here you're well-placed to explore the Sulcis Iglesiente coast, the nearby Carloforte tuna-fishing culture, and the island's distinctly Genoese character — the locals still speak Tabarchino, a Ligurian dialect brought over in the 18th century.
