    Porto Cervo. Where the Med comes to sail.

    The Aga Khan built Porto Cervo in the 1960s as a sailing village. Today the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS) hosts the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, the Perini Navi Cup and the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta. Between races, Cala di Volpe and Romazzino are only reachable by sea.

    Why here

    The superyacht capital of the Mediterranean, built by the Aga Khan for sailing.

    Porto Cervo was built from scratch by the Aga Khan in the 1960s as a sailing village on the northeast coast of Sardinia. The Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS) is the centre of Mediterranean racing, hosting the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup (September) and the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta (June). The iconic hotels — Cala di Volpe, Romazzino, Pitrizza — sit in private bays designed to be reached by sea.

    01

    Cala di Volpe — only by sea.

    The Hotel Cala di Volpe sits in a private bay with no public road access to the beach. Same for Romazzino and Pitrizza — the three iconic Costa Smeralda hotels are designed to be reached by boat. A water taxi from Porto Cervo takes 10 minutes.

    02

    La Maddalena archipelago without the ferry queue.

    The public ferry from Palau to La Maddalena runs every 30 minutes but queues for an hour in August. From Porto Cervo, our water taxi crosses in 40 minutes, direct to the town quay, with a stop at Budelli's pink sand beach if you want.

    03

    Bonifacio — Corsica in 75 minutes.

    The Strait of Bonifacio is 11 km wide. Porto Cervo to the medieval citadel perched on white limestone cliffs takes 1h15 by water taxi. Faster than the Palau-Santa Teresa-Bonifacio ferry chain and infinitely more scenic.

    FAQ

    Useful to know.

    Olbia airport (OLB) is 30 km north. By road it takes 30-45 minutes on the SP59. By water taxi from Olbia port (10 min from airport), it is 30 minutes to Marina di Porto Cervo — and you arrive by sea, which is the point.

    Landing on Spiaggia Rosa is prohibited (nature reserve since 1994). We anchor 50 metres offshore and you view it from the water or snorkel nearby. The colour comes from microscopic coral fragments — it is genuinely pink.

    The maestrale (mistral) blows from the NW, typically force 4-6, strongest in the Strait of Bonifacio. It can make the Corsica crossing choppy. We monitor 48h ahead and reschedule or refund if conditions exceed safe limits. Inside the Costa Smeralda bays, the coast provides shelter.

    The marina hosts everything from 10-metre sailboats to 100-metre superyachts. Our water taxis use the transit berths at the Old Port — no superyacht berthing fees. The village, the YCCS and the beaches are open to everyone.

    The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is in September — the marina is at capacity, the Piazzetta is buzzing, and you watch 30-metre racing yachts from a water taxi for free. The Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta in June is smaller but equally spectacular.
