Olbia on the NE coast of Sardinia is one of the largest natural harbours in the Med. It is a very busy ferry port. It is famous for its mussels which are grown in large numbers on either side of the buoyed channel.

Security
Ensure your boat is locked when not on board. Theft has been reported in the past, including from boats at anchor.
There is a long buoyed channel up to the harbour. Beware of ferries. Refer to official charts and publications.
Berthing Options
Visiting yachts can either berth in the new Marina di Olbia or the Old Commercial Quay.
Mooring on the Old Commercial Quay is free of charge, excellent protection and close to the city center. Water at the fuel station (5€/100L). No electricity. Once a week the garbage man comes to collect a garbage fee, this is probably a fraud. Sometimes harbour officials will ask you to move to make place for big yachts. Note: the Old Commercial Quay was reported (June 2013) as closed for redevelopment
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
Marina di Olbia
This is a very new marina on the south side of the bay. Marina di Olbia is very clean and close to the airport. Pricing is at the very high end.
It is very close to the airport and one could theoretically walk to the marina. In practice this would be a long walk from the terminal. The taxis from the airport to the marina take about 10 minutes, so negotiate your price before starting the journey.
The marina is huge and not yet fully developed. In the future there will be little shops and cafes, but they have not yet been built. There is one floating cafe only. A large supermarket is 10 minutes walk. It is within a small shopping mall. One is allowed to wheel your provisions back to the marina in a shopping trolley. The trolleys are collected and returned to the mall regularly. The toilet block is within the building housing the capitinairia. Therefore it can be a long walk from your berth.
The marina is out of the main town of Olbia. There are buses into town. The bus stop is by the supermarket. A taxi takes 15 minutes and is quite costly. The marina is a safe place to leave a yacht over the winter, but there are very few live-aboards.
Anchorages
There is a good anchorage in front of the quay. Anchor in 5.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in mud.
This is a busy little town in the summer with a number of pizzerias, shops, etc.
Offshore Islands and Groups
None.
Yacht Repairs and Services
Marine Stores
There are a couple of reasonable chandleries in the town. Large supermarket close to the Old Commercial Quay

Personal Notes
- August 2009: Tied alongside Old Commercial (Brin) Quay. Very few bollards, but can tie to metal plates that lift close to edge of quay. Only charge was official who came round in the morning charging €5 for garbage irrespective of whether you had garbage. Several boats anchored off to S of quay. Lively and attractive town. Good chandleries. I liked it. --Wayward
- July 2011 Garbage charge was collected once a week mostly on Sunday, 5€/day.
