The foundations for Porto Cervo were laid in the 1960s, when a consortium led by the then Aga Khan began the development of the Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) along the enchanting NE coast of [[Sardinia]].  The original development, now known as Porto Vecchio, is at the SE end of the inlet.  Further into the inlet on the NW side is the newer harbour, which incorporates the exclusive Costa Smeralda Yacht Club and a luxury hotel and villa development.  The name (Cervo means ‘stag’ in Italian) comes from the branching shape of the inlet, which resembles the tines of a stag’s antlers.  Be prepared to blow your cruising budget if you moor here for long - or alternatively anchor in the sandy cove to the north of the breakwater (get there early as there’s not much room to swing).

Marina Porto Cervo

The name (Cervo means ‘stag’ in Italian) comes from the branching shape of the inlet, which resembles the tines of a stag’s antlers.

The foundations for Porto Cervo were laid in the 1960s, when a consortium led by the then Aga Khan began the development of the Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) along the enchanting NE coast of Sardinia. The original development, now known as Porto Vecchio, is at the SE end of the inlet. Further into the inlet on the NW side is the newer harbour, which incorporates the exclusive Costa Smeralda Yacht Club and a luxury hotel and villa development.

Be prepared to blow your cruising budget if you moor here for long - or alternatively anchor in the sandy cove to the north of the breakwater (get there early as there’s not much room to swing).

Charts

See Sardinia.

Weather

The inlet is well sheltered and only easterlies (which are fortunately rare) might give a problem to yachts in the anchorage.

See also Italy.

Passages

List popular passages/routes, timing, etc.

Islands
