Before the spray and the snap of sails, Porto Cervo dozes between the Piazzetta and the Promenade del Porto; by 10 a.m. the marina hums, 24–40 m maxis slide past Passo delle Bisce toward Capo Ferro, and RIB horns cut the stillness. The Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, founded in 1967 by Prince Karim Aga Khan, runs the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup with clockwork precision: laylines off Mortorio, starts near Monaci, then tight returns to the docks. From the club terrace you track IRC fleets through binoculars while crews flake down their downwind sails.
Later, it’s seamless. Your dedicated driver collects you from a villa in Pantogia or Liscia di Vacca—8 to 12 minutes depending on traffic—in a cool Mercedes, on standby. Drop-off right by Banchina Sud for the starts, waiting during races and prize-givings, then a smooth hop to Cala di Volpe for aperitivo or Poltu Quatu for dinner, while you sip Vermentino or make a swift stop at the Piazzetta for a Pomellato bracelet.
