Why it is here
Yachting Pages ranks Porto Cervo among the world’s most expensive elite SY marinas (peak Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup / Deluxe Fair); Boat International 2026 regatta calendar confirms YCCS as Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup host; SuperYachtsMonaco positions it as Costa Smeralda cornerstone for megayachts and high-profile guests.
Who it is for
Owners who want controlled Costa Smeralda berth allocation, beach-club / Piazzetta social density, and authentic maxi/J-Class regatta weekends rather than a Riviera mega-quay spectacle.
