Costa Smeralda: Porto Cervo

August· Sardinia, Italy

The season Superyacht Helicopter Private jet

Why the circuit stops here

August belongs to Sardinia. The Aga Khan built Porto Cervo as a billionaire’s village, and every August the world’s largest yachts anchor off it to prove the design still works.

The money signal

The Marina dell’Orso berths the 100m+ class; August mooring fees are the world’s highest.

Who's there

Gulf royals, Italian industrial dynasties, the gigayacht tier.

How they arrive

  • The harbour is the venue: berths book out months ahead and the best parties happen on deck, not on shore.
  • Short-hop helicopter transfers beat the road traffic. This stop is built around its helipads.
  • Private aviation is the default: expect FBO slots and hotel helipads to be the real constraint, not tickets.
