La aproximación y la ensenada
La marina está dentro de una ensenada estrecha de granito en la Costa Smeralda, más o menos a 41 grados 08 minutos norte y 9 grados 31 minutos este. La aproximación es sencilla con luz de día y la ensenada está de verdad bien abrigada, que es la razón por la que el consorcio del Aga Khan eligió esta bahía en su momento. Las profundidades en la ensenada van de unos siete metros a menos de dos en el fondo de saco, así que el agua profunda está en la parte exterior, que es donde la marina pone los yates mayores. El puerto escucha en VHF 16, 11 y 9 y mantiene guardia de 24 horas en la New Marina.
El viento que manda en esta costa es el mistral del noroeste, y puede soplar lo bastante fuerte como para dejar sin trabajo a los tenders y hacer desagradables durante días los pasos exteriores. Dentro de la ensenada el efecto queda amortiguado. El este es la dirección que molesta al fondeadero de fuera de la bocana, y aquí es rara. Cala Granu, a unos minutos doblando la esquina, es el refugio de siempre cuando entra el mistral, con fondo de arena poco profundo que agarra bien.
Dos puertos y qué admite cada uno
La marina funciona como dos puertos. La New Marina abre todo el año con cobertura VHF de 24 horas. El Old Port abre el 1 de junio y cierra el 30 de septiembre, que es el dato más útil que puede tener un armador sobre la capacidad de aquí, porque más o menos un tercio del agua desaparece de la oferta fuera de esos cuatro meses. El amarre total declarado son 700 puestos, de los que 100 están dimensionados para megayates.
El límite publicado son 160 metros de eslora máxima, ocho metros de calado máximo y ninguna restricción de manga, sobre pantalanes flotantes con servicio completo al costado. Algunos listados secundarios dan cifras menores, del orden de 100 metros y seis metros, que reflejan pantalanes concretos y no la capacidad exterior de la marina. En la práctica, los yates mayores se ponen en la parte honda de los muelles de la New Marina y todo lo demás se encaja alrededor. El amarre es de costado o de popa según la posición, con asistencia al atraque.
Diez semanas a pleno rendimiento y después el Old Port cierra el último día de septiembre.
La realidad del amarre en agosto
La respuesta sincera para la primera quincena de agosto es que Porto Cervo está cerrado. Las guías del mercado de charter publicadas para 2026 describen el inventario de esas dos semanas como prácticamente adjudicado hacia el 1 de mayo y agotado de hecho a mediados de mayo, y aconsejan a quien pregunte con menos de seis semanas que cuente con un fondeadero. Eso no es una frase de marketing. Es cómo funciona el puerto.
La alternativa está muy rodada y es perfectamente cómoda. Los yates se quedan en Cala Granu o frente a Porto Cervo Sud y llevan a los invitados en tender, que es lo que hace de todas formas buena parte de la flota, porque los fondeaderos de aquí son excelentes. La bahía de Pevero, al lado, está abrigada del oeste y agarra bien en arena y roca, aunque el lado sur es hoy un campo de boyas y en Cala Romantica no hay desembarco público para tenders. Fuera de la punta, en junio y otra vez desde septiembre, se consigue sitio en la marina avisando con un plazo razonable.
De quién es, y cómo se consigue un amarre
La marina, el astillero, el club de golf de Pevero y los cuatro hoteles de la Costa Smeralda pertenecen todos a Smeralda Holding, una sociedad italiana que desde 2012 es filial indirecta al cien por cien de la Qatar Investment Authority. IGY Marinas explota la marina y el astillero mediante un contrato de gestión, renovado el 21 de febrero de 2025. Así que un armador trata con IGY en el muelle y con un único casero para casi todo lo de tierra.
Los amarres de tránsito y de temporada se reservan directamente con la marina. La tenencia larga existe en forma de concesiones que se negocian de forma privada a través de brokers de amarres, y llevan una fecha de vencimiento que un armador tiene que comprobar antes de pagar por ella, porque una concesión anunciada puede estar cerca de su final. Los acuerdos anuales en la New Marina encajan con los yates que usan Cerdeña como base de verano. Las mejores posiciones están en manos de armadores que repiten y rara vez salen a la luz.
Lo que cuesta
El precio va por eslora, temporada y posición, con un multiplicador muy fuerte en la punta. Las guías del mercado de charter para 2026 situaban una noche de agosto en Marina di Porto Cervo para un yate de 30 a 40 metros entre EUR 4.000 y EUR 9.000, que es la parte alta del rango mediterráneo y comparable a Mónaco fuera de la semana de carrera. Trátelo como orientativo y fechado. Junio y finales de septiembre son otro orden de dinero por el mismo amarre.
El amarre es la parte pequeña de la factura. Todo lo de tierra en la Costa Smeralda tiene precio de temporada, desde el aprovisionamiento hasta una mesa en la Piazzetta o un coche, y una semana en familia aquí costará varias veces esa misma semana en Palma o en Yalikavak. El combustible se toma en la zona con los impuestos italianos pagados, salvo que el yate opere comercialmente. Los armadores a los que les importa el total suelen navegar el archipiélago y venir a amarrar dos noches.
Energía, agua, residuos y astillero
La corriente en tierra se ofrece a 16, 32, 63, 125 y 250 amperios, lo que permite a un yate grande tener sus sistemas en marcha al costado sin apoyarse en los generadores. Agua, combustible, recogida de residuos, lavandería y aprovisionamiento se resuelven en el amarre, y la marina tiene wifi y seguridad 24 horas en todo el recinto. El Old Port y la New Marina tienen oficinas y teléfonos separados, cosa que despista a las tripulaciones que llegan en temporada media.
La ventaja real frente a la mayoría de las marinas de destino es tener en el propio recinto el Cantiere Porto Cervo, un astillero de servicio completo de la misma propiedad que se ocupa de reparación, mantenimiento, armamento y refits completos. Una avería que en otro sitio obligaría a una travesía hasta Génova o La Spezia se puede resolver muchas veces en la bahía. Para el trabajo pesado programado la mayoría de los armadores siguen yendo a los astilleros del continente, pero el astillero quita el riesgo de perder una semana de agosto.
Seguridad, intimidad y cuánto se ve el yate
La seguridad es de 24 horas y los pantalanes están controlados, lo que en una marina dentro de un desarrollo residencial privado significa que el yate queda detrás de más de una capa. La Costa Smeralda se ha construido y vigilado desde los años sesenta partiendo de que quien la usa quiere que lo dejen en paz, y esa cultura se mantiene.
La visibilidad es otra cuestión en agosto. El muelle de la marina se convierte en paseo de tarde, los barcos se fotografían sin parar, y el trecho de la pasarela a la Piazzetta es corto y público. No tiene nada que ver con Mónaco durante el salón, pero tampoco es privado. Los armadores que quieren desaparecer usan los fondeaderos del archipiélago de la Maddalena y solo entran cuando quieren pisar tierra.
En tierra, el aeropuerto y una semana en familia
El aeropuerto de Olbia Costa Smeralda está a unos 31 kilómetros, más o menos de 35 a 40 minutos por carretera, con conexiones de verano por toda Europa y manejo de aviación privada en el propio aeropuerto. Es el trayecto al aeropuerto más corto de todas las grandes marinas del Mediterráneo, lo que importa cuando los invitados rotan cada semana. El pueblo que hay detrás de la marina es pequeño y enteramente construido a propósito, con la Piazzetta en el centro, boutiques y los cuatro hoteles del resort en Cala di Volpe, Romazzino, Pitrizza y Cervo a unos minutos en coche.
Para una semana en familia el punto fuerte es el agua. Las playas de la Costa Smeralda están entre las mejores del Mediterráneo, el archipiélago de la Maddalena queda a una hora en tender o a una travesía corta en yate, y el campo de golf de Pevero está detrás del pueblo. Lo que Porto Cervo no tiene es un pueblo con vida propia. No hay casco antiguo, ni mercado, ni apenas nada que pasear, así que las familias que quieren cultura se llevan el yate a Córcega o al continente italiano.
El calendario, y el inconveniente sincero
El Yacht Club Costa Smeralda pone los puntos fijos del año. En 2026 eso significa la Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta del 26 al 30 de mayo, el Rolex TP52 World Championship del 15 al 20 de junio, la regata Palermo a Porto Cervo a Monte Carlo del 18 al 23 de agosto, la Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup del 6 al 12 de septiembre y la Rolex Swan Cup del 13 al 19 de septiembre. Conviene señalar que la regata de superyates perdió su histórico título de Loro Piana y se corre ahora bajo el nombre de Giorgio Armani.
El inconveniente es la forma del año. Porto Cervo va a tope unas diez semanas y está cerrado el resto, el Old Port cierra por completo de octubre a mayo, y buena parte del pueblo se va con él. Los precios de la punta son los más altos del Mediterráneo y en tierra no hay alternativa competitiva porque una sola sociedad es dueña de los hoteles, del golf, del astillero y de la marina. Un yate con base fija aquí pasa ocho meses en un resort que no está abierto.
What the yard can actually lift
Cantiere Porto Cervo sits inside the marina and in the same ownership, which is a real advantage over most destination ports, but the machinery has limits worth knowing before a season is planned around it. The travel lift is a rubber-tyred open-end machine rated to 40 tonnes, which covers tenders, sportsboats and the small end of the sailing fleet and nothing else. Above that the yard works through a hydraulically operated horizontal trolley on the slipway, which moves boats into the covered sheds and is rated for hulls up to 45 m in length, 8.5 m of beam and 3.2 m of draught. The sheds themselves take stored boats of any type up to 250 tonnes, across three buildings totalling 7,360 square metres with fire protection and forced ventilation.
So the honest position is that a 40 m motor yacht drawing 3 m and carrying 9 m of beam is at the edge of what can come out of the water here, and a 60 m yacht cannot be lifted at Porto Cervo at all. What the yard does well is everything that can be done afloat or on the outside hardstanding, where repair, maintenance and conversion work is carried out on units up to 45 m. The trades on site cover diesel and petrol engines, electrical, electronic, radio-navigation and sound insulation work, carpentry, joinery, painting and onboard systems, with a 6 m lathe for shaft line grinding. Anything needing a bigger lift leaves the island, most often for the Ligurian yards at Genoa and La Spezia.
The wind that complicates the entrance
The mistral out of the north-west is the wind that governs the coast and it is the one most crews plan for. The marina's own technical sheet names a different one for the approach. Access to the harbour can be awkward in the Grecale, the north-easterly, which comes in over the mouth of the inlet rather than down it. In front of the main quay the marina has laid a run of buoys that allow a bow mooring to be taken without letting go an anchor, which is the practical answer to a Grecale day and worth requesting rather than discovering.
Two approach notes come from the same sheet. From seaward the harbour is picked up by steering for Capo Ferro, the dark headland 46 m high carrying its lighthouse north of Porto Cervo, and then by the two entrance lights of the bay together with the profile of the hotels and the village behind. Crews who do not know the area are specifically told to avoid the Passo delle Galere between the Li Nibani inlets, which is easily mistaken for the Passo delle Rocche and carries treacherous soundings. Inside, the marina publishes a maximum draught of 8 m, and the inlet shoals from about 7 m to under 2 m towards its head, so the deep water and the large yachts are both at the outer end.
En tierra, accesos y reservas
| Getting there | Olbia Costa Smeralda is the airport, about 30 km away and 31 to 35 minutes by road, stretching to around 40 minutes in July and August through the Arzachena bottleneck. Pre-booked private transfers are quoted from about EUR 76 with tolls included; metered taxis are scarce at Olbia in the peak, with waits of 30 to 60 minutes reported in July, so book the car rather than join the rank. Published taxi fares vary so widely between guides that no single figure is reliable. Helicopter operators fly the leg in about ten minutes to the Porto Cervo helipad. That is the shortest airport run of any marquee Mediterranean marina, which matters when guests rotate weekly. |
|---|---|
| Arriving by sea | The New Marina keeps a 24-hour VHF watch and works channels 16, 11 and 9, and the Maritime Authority monitors 16 around the clock. Port direction is +39 0789 905111, Marina Est +39 0789 936666, night emergency +39 335 1200241, the Capitaneria +39 0789 563648 and medical services +39 0789 94577. Offices run 08:00 to 20:00 in summer and 09:00 to 18:00 in winter, with mooring assistance continuous, holidays included. From seaward, steer for Capo Ferro, the dark 46 m headland and lighthouse north of the inlet, then pick up the two entrance lights with the hotels and village behind. Avoid the Passo delle Galere between the Li Nibani inlets, easily confused with the Passo delle Rocche and carrying treacherous soundings. Italian coastal rules bind outside: no navigation within 200 m of the shore and 10 knots inside 1 km. |
| Reserving a berth | Booked direct with the marina, online or by email, and IGY states plainly that advanced reservations are strongly recommended. The New Marina and the Old Port keep separate offices and separate numbers, which catches out shoulder-season arrivals. Captains check in and check out with the marina office for every stay. Charter-market guidance for 2026 describes the inventory for the first fortnight of August as functionally claimed by around 1 May and effectively gone by mid-May, and tells anyone enquiring inside six weeks to plan on an anchorage. Longer tenure exists as concession leases traded privately through berth brokers, and those carry an expiry date the buyer must check for himself. |
| What a berth costs, with the daily charges on top | The 2026 New Marina card works in ten categories set by length and beam together, VAT included at 10 per cent where allowed. Category IX, to 40 m and 10 m of beam, is EUR 3,698 a day from 1 to 20 August, EUR 2,571 from 10 July to 5 September, EUR 1,069 in June and EUR 101 from January to March. Category X, to 55 m, is EUR 5,437 and EUR 3,780 across the same two windows. Above 55 m or 10 m of beam the card stops quoting a berth and charges by area, EUR 7.38 per square metre per day from 10 July to 5 September. Water, electricity and refuse are then billed as separate daily charges by the same category rather than metered: category IX pays EUR 650 of electricity, EUR 65 of water and EUR 89 of refuse a day, so the real August day rate is EUR 4,502 and a fortnight in early August is EUR 63,028 before any pass, deposit or fuel. Category X pays EUR 740, EUR 134 and EUR 117. Add EUR 20 to connect, EUR 50 for the Molo A and ISPS pass, EUR 40 an hour for an ISPS guard, and a refundable socket deposit from EUR 200 at 32 A to EUR 950 at 250 A. Seasonal contracts for 1 May to 31 October are EUR 195,819 in category IX and EUR 325,707 in category X, against winter contracts of EUR 15,882 and EUR 23,640 for 1 November to 30 April. |
| Services, power and the yard | Shore power comes at 32 A single-phase and three-phase, 63 A, 150 A and 250 A three-phase with neutral and earth. High-speed fuel pumps, provisioning, laundry concierge, waste collection, floating docks, wifi and 24-hour security across the site. Cantiere Porto Cervo is on the same water and in the same ownership, which removes the risk of a broken week: a 40 tonne rubber-tyred travel lift, a hydraulic slipway trolley taking hulls to 45 m LOA, 8.5 m of beam and 3.2 m of draught into the sheds, and 7,360 sq m of covered storage in three buildings for boats to 250 tonnes, with a 6 m lathe for shaft-line grinding. Above those limits nothing can come out of the water in Sardinia and the yacht goes to Genoa or La Spezia. The marina's own ferry crosses the inlet every half hour from 09:00, last departure 01:00, between 20 June and 20 September. |
| Eating within walking distance | On the Piazzetta itself: Il Portico and Paper Moon, with La Pergola in Giardino and the Cervo Bar at the Cervo hotel a few paces behind. Langosteria sits at Porto Vecchio. Along Via Porto Vecchio on the marina front are Zuma, Finger's, Il Pomodoro, Pedri Garden and Crazy Pizza, with Cibo on the Promenade du Port at Via Aga Khan 1 and Goosto at Piazzetta Clipper on Via della Marina Nuova. The names most guests ask for, Matsuhisa and Beefbar, are at the Cala di Volpe hotel and are a car ride rather than a walk, as is Novikov. |
| After dark, and the fixed dates | Phi Beach at Forte Cappellini runs from sunset bar into an open-air club under international DJs. Billionaire sits in a villa on the hill above the village with terraces over the coast. Sottovento, going since 1979, is the discreet salon rather than the dance floor. The Yacht Club Costa Smeralda gives the year its fixed points: the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta 26 to 30 May 2026, the Rolex TP52 World Championship 15 to 20 June, the Palermo to Porto Cervo to Monte Carlo race 18 to 23 August, the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 6 to 12 September and the Rolex Swan Cup 13 to 19 September. |
| The anchorages, and the park rules that changed for 2026 | Above 40 m a large part of the fleet lies off and tenders in, and the anchorages are good enough that many do it by choice. Cala Granu is 10 m over sand and covers north-west, west and south-west. Liscia di Vacca, off Pitrizza, is 15 m on rock and sand. Pevero holds on sand, rock and weed and covers a wide arc, but it is crowded all summer and the only dock, in Cala Romantica, is private, so there is no public tender landing. Anchoring is forbidden inside the Pevero and Cala di Volpe buoy fields and permitted 200 m clear of the last buoy, and at Porto Rotondo it is prohibited within 200 m of the Marinella buoy camp. Towing jet skis and toys inside a buoy camp is not allowed. In the Maddalena archipelago, ordinance 33/2026 dropped the blanket ban on staying overnight at anchor for the 2026 season while tightening the seabed rules: a valid park permit, a closed black water system, sand only, no posidonia, marked buoy fields closed to anchors, and permits now bought online through the park. |
| What is NOT published | The Old Port has no published tariff at all. Rates come by email, so roughly a third of the marina's water, and the third that is only open 1 June to 30 September, carries no public price. Shore power voltage and frequency appear nowhere in the tariff; Italy is on the 50 Hz grid and no 60 Hz supply is advertised, so a 60 Hz yacht should assume she converts on board. Berths on the outer side of Pier A are dynamically priced and float between the category VIII and X+ bands rather than sitting at a fixed rate. And concession leases at the New Marina trade privately with no public register, no published expiry and no recorded prices, which is why a listed concession can be much closer to its end than the asking price suggests. |
Lo que cuentan armadores y tripulaciones
Above 40 m the fleet lies off and tenders in, and the guides say where
The captain's tool published for the Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo area gives Cala Granu at 10 m over sand, sheltered from north-west, west and south-west; Liscia di Vacca at 15 m on rock and sand; and Pevero holding on sand, rock and weed but very busy with multiple yachts through the summer, with no tender landing because the only dock, in Cala Romantica, is private. It also records that anchoring is forbidden inside the Pevero and Cala di Volpe buoy fields and permitted 200 m clear of the last buoy.
Nautica Assistance, The Captain's ToolBrokers tell clients to plan on an anchorage inside six weeks
Costa Smeralda charter guidance for 2026 describes the marina inventory for the first fortnight of August as functionally claimed by around 1 May and effectively gone by mid-May, and advises anyone enquiring inside six weeks to base on the Cala Granu or Porto Cervo Sud roadstead and tender in. Above 40 m it reports that yachts frequently anchor in those two places anyway.
Yachts for Kings, 2026 Costa Smeralda rate mapThe operator relationship was renewed, not re-tendered
IGY Marinas announced on 21 February 2025 that it had renewed its management agreement with Smeralda Holding for the marina and shipyard, a 700-slip facility taking yachts to 160 m, with chief executive Steven English citing five years of the partnership. For an owner that reads as continuity of the front desk rather than a change of standard, which is the useful part.
IGY Marinas, reported by Marina WorldThe Maddalena rules moved again for 2026, so older advice is wrong
Cruising guidance for the 2026 season reports that ordinance 33/2026 removed the blanket ban on staying overnight at anchor in the archipelago while tightening the seabed requirements: a valid park permit, a closed black water system, sand only with no damage to posidonia, and no anchoring inside marked buoy fields, with the permit system moved online. Inspections are reported on entering archipelago waters in the peak.
mySKIPPER.guide, and NavilyNo independent owner survey of this marina exists
There is no published owner or captain satisfaction survey for Porto Cervo, the Old Port has no public tariff, and concession leases trade privately with no register. Everything beyond the New Marina's own 2026 card is charter-market commentary, and should be read as such.

Lo bueno y lo que conviene vigilar
Puntos fuertes
- A deep granite inlet that genuinely shelters160 m maximum length, 8 m of draught and no beam restriction, on floating docks with full service alongside, in the bay the Aga Khan's consortium chose for its shelter.
- A full-service yard on the same water and in the same ownershipCantiere Porto Cervo turns a fault that would otherwise mean a delivery passage to Liguria into a job done in the bay.
- The shortest airport run of any marquee Mediterranean marinaOlbia Costa Smeralda is about 30 km and 31 to 35 minutes, with jet handling on site, so guests can rotate weekly.
- The New Marina card is published in fullTen categories by length and beam, four seasonal windows, per-square-metre pricing above 55 m and both seasonal and winter contract figures.
- The fallback is comfortable rather than a penaltyCala Granu, Liscia di Vacca and Porto Cervo Sud are good anchorages minutes away, and mooring assistance runs 24 hours year-round at the New Marina.
A tener en cuenta
- The year is about ten weeks longThe Old Port opens only 1 June to 30 September and much of the village closes with it, so a yacht based here full-time spends eight months in a resort that is shut.
- The fluids are charged by category, not meteredA category IX yacht pays EUR 804 a day of electricity, water and refuse on top of the berth whatever she actually consumes, taking the real August rate to EUR 4,502.
- The first fortnight of August is gone by mid-MayCharter-market guidance for 2026 tells anyone enquiring inside six weeks to plan on an anchorage. That is how the harbour works, not a sales line.
- One landlord owns everything ashoreSmeralda Holding owns the marina, the shipyard, the Pevero golf club and the four Costa Smeralda hotels, so there is no competitive alternative to price against.
- The yard cannot lift a large yachtThe travel lift stops at 40 tonnes and the slipway trolley at 45 m, 8.5 m of beam and 3.2 m of draught, so a 60 m yacht cannot come out of the water anywhere in Sardinia.
Para quién es: El armador cuyo verano gira en torno a seis semanas en Cerdeña y que tiene el yate basado en otro sitio los otros diez meses.
