Overview
Sardinia's Costa Smeralda is one of the Mediterranean's most prestigious superyacht destinations. Founded by the Aga Khan in the 1960s, this emerald coastline combines exclusive marinas, pristine anchorages, and a social scene that rivals Monaco and Saint-Tropez.
Beyond Porto Cervo, Sardinia offers extraordinary cruising diversity, the wild granite archipelago of La Maddalena, the pink flamingo lagoons of the south, and the dramatic western cliffs of Alghero. The island's turquoise waters are often compared to the Caribbean, yet with Italian cuisine, culture, and accessibility.
