A 60 to 70m motor yacht Costa Smeralda in the 2026 summer window (May through October) runs $880,000 to $1,460,000 per week plus 33 to 37 percent APA, takes 12 to 14 guests across 7 to 9 cabins, and carries 18 to 26 crew. The bracket's Smeraldina structural reality is the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda framework as the single 60m-plus standing alongside on the northeastern Sardinian face at 41 degrees 08 minutes north, with the Cala di Volpe outer-roads on the wider Costa Smeralda southern face holding the bracket-fit at-anchor footprint, the Porto Rotondo outer-roads on the Costa Smeralda western-shoulder framework holding the overflow at-anchor footprint, the Caprera National Park Cala Coticcio and Cala Spalmatore daily-cap permit framework on the wider Arcipelago di La Maddalena daylight call, and the Olbia OLB Cat A helipad shuttle handling the wider Sardinian guest-transfer corridor. The Ferragosto August 15 12-to-18 month wider-week, the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup first week of September, and the July central peak pull the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay allocation on the 12 to 18 month lead time on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda framework. The bracket-fit Smeraldina week routes the central shore programme through the Hotel Cala di Volpe, the Hotel Romazzino, the Hotel Pitrizza, the Pevero Golf Club, the Phi Beach Baja Sardinia, the Spinnaker, the Quattro Passi al Pescatore, the Ristorante Conca Verde, and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda terrace.
Why Marina di Porto Cervo north quay narrows at the bracket
The Marina di Porto Cervo north quay on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda framework. The Marina di Porto Cervo north quay on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda outer-T framework handles the bracket-fit alongside on the 60m-plus standing capacity as the single Costa Smeralda 60m-plus alongside, with the structural Ferragosto August 15 12-to-18 month wider-week and the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup first week of September allocation running on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda member-and-broker network on the 12 to 18 month lead time. The Marina di Porto Cervo inner basin handles the 30 to 50m fleet on the daily inner-basin guest-routing, and the north quay outer-T is the bracket's standing 60m-plus alongside on the wider Smeraldina corridor.
The Cala di Volpe outer-roads on the southern face. The Cala di Volpe outer-roads on the southern Costa Smeralda face on the Hotel Cala di Volpe framework handles the bracket-fit at-anchor footprint on the daily lunch-and-afternoon rotation with shore-tender to the Hotel Cala di Volpe and the Phi Beach Baja Sardinia daily lunch-and-afternoon pickup-and-drop window. The Cala di Volpe outer-roads holds the bracket's structural Smeraldina daylight reality on the southern face, and the overnight call on the Cala di Volpe outer-roads reads the structural mistral northwesterly window at force 6 to 7 turns on the wider summer pattern, with the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay alongside base on the overnight call handling the bracket-fit standing reality.
The Porto Rotondo outer-roads on the western-shoulder framework. The Porto Rotondo outer-roads on the Costa Smeralda western shoulder Marina di Porto Rotondo framework cap at the 30 to 50m envelope on the inner-basin structure, and the bracket-fit 60m-plus hull does not fit the Marina di Porto Rotondo alongside structure. The Porto Rotondo outer-roads anchor holds the bracket's structural overflow on the wider Costa Smeralda western-shoulder daily call with shore-tender to the Spinnaker, Quattro Passi al Pescatore, and Ristorante Conca Verde shore programme.
The Caprera National Park daily-cap permit framework. The Caprera National Park Cala Coticcio and Cala Spalmatore on the wider Arcipelago di La Maddalena framework hold the bracket-fit daylight call on the daily-cap permit structure with the Parco Nazionale Arcipelago di La Maddalena framework on the daily-cap permit lead time and the structural daily-cap allocation on the wider Maddalena daily structure. The bracket without the prior daily-cap permit reads structurally short on the Caprera Cala Coticcio and Cala Spalmatore daily-call window, and the bracket-fit Smeraldina week routes the Caprera daylight on the prior daily-cap permit confirmed in writing through the captain's office at contract.
The Olbia OLB Cat A helipad shuttle. Olbia OLB at 40 degrees 53 minutes north handles the bracket-fit local Cat A helipad guest-transfer on the 8 to 14 minute Marina di Porto Cervo or Cala di Volpe touch-and-go on the Air Corporate or Heli2 shuttle structure, and the wider Cote d'Azur cross-coast routing on the Nice NCE to Olbia 75 to 90 minute touch-and-go on the longer transit. The bracket without the Cat A helipad reads structurally short on the cross-coast Costa Smeralda to Bonifacio and the wider Corsican daily and cross-coast leg on the Ferragosto and Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup calendar.
Weekly rate map for the 2026 calendar
Rates below are firm summer pricing (May through October 2026) before APA at 33 to 37 percent (the heavy Smeraldina daily tender consumption on the Cala di Volpe and Porto Rotondo shore-tender rotation, the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay coordination fee on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda framework, the Olbia OLB Cat A helipad shuttle premium, the Caprera National Park daily-cap permit pass-through, and the structural Smeraldina provisioning load on the Hotel Cala di Volpe, Hotel Romazzino, Phi Beach Baja Sardinia, and Spinnaker Michelin-grade pool) and gratuity at 10 to 15 percent. The Italian charter VAT runs the standard 22 percent framework on the portion of the charter in Italian waters under the Italian commercial exemption rules.
| LOA bracket | Motor yacht (low to high) | Sailing yacht (low to high) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 to 63m | $880K to $990K per week | $660K to $780K per week |
| 63 to 67m | $990K to $1,200K per week | $750K to $910K per week |
| 67 to 70m | $1,200K to $1,460K per week | $900K to $1,100K per week |
The Smeraldina peak structure runs the Ferragosto August 15 12-to-18 month wider-week at a 18 to 26 percent premium on the late-July base on the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay allocation, the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup first week of September at a 14 to 20 percent premium on the September shoulder base, and the July central peak runs 10 to 14 percent above the June and September shoulder. The June and September non-event shoulder windows read 16 to 22 percent below the August Ferragosto peak. For wider context see 60-70m Mediterranean, 60-70m Sardinia, 60-70m Corsica, and the lower-LOA comparison at 50-60m Costa Smeralda.
What you actually get in this bracket
Cabins. Seven to nine. Bridge-deck owner suite plus on-deck VIP plus five to seven main and lower-deck doubles, calibrated to the 12 to 14 guest envelope on the structural Smeraldina peak-week, Ferragosto wider-week, and Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup event-week pattern.
Crew. Eighteen to twenty-six. The Smeraldina call rewards a captain bench with prior Marina di Porto Cervo north quay allocation routine on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda framework, prior Cala di Volpe outer-roads daily shore-tender routine on the Hotel Cala di Volpe and Phi Beach Baja Sardinia pickup-and-drop window, prior Porto Rotondo outer-roads overflow coordination on the Costa Smeralda western shoulder, prior Caprera National Park daily-cap permit coordination on the Parco Nazionale Arcipelago di La Maddalena framework, prior Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup first-week-of-September coordination on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda race-week framework, and prior Olbia OLB Cat A helipad coordination on the 8 to 14 minute touch-and-go. The chief stew bench with prior Hotel Cala di Volpe, Hotel Romazzino, Hotel Pitrizza, Phi Beach Baja Sardinia, Spinnaker, Quattro Passi al Pescatore, Ristorante Conca Verde, and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda terrace shore-coordination is the structural client-facing load-bearing question.
Tenders. Primary 14 to 16m fast tender plus a 12m beach tender plus a chase boat plus a dive tender plus an 11 to 12m limousine tender. The Cala di Volpe, Porto Rotondo, and Caprera National Park shore-tender rotation runs the tender bench harder than any other western Tyrrhenian posting, and the bracket-fit Smeraldina week reads tender-heavy on the Hotel Cala di Volpe, Phi Beach Baja Sardinia, Spinnaker, Quattro Passi al Pescatore, and Ristorante Conca Verde daily lunch-and-afternoon shore call structure.
At-anchor stabilizers and beach club. Load-bearing at the bracket on the Cala di Volpe, Porto Rotondo, and Caprera National Park daily outer-roads anchor structure outside the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay alongside. The Smeraldina summer mistral northwesterly window at force 6 to 7 on the wider July-and-August pattern turns the Cala di Volpe outer-roads on the afternoon-shore window, and the bracket's at-anchor zero-speed product on the Cala di Volpe, Porto Rotondo, and Caprera Cala Coticcio and Cala Spalmatore anchor field is structurally load-bearing.
Helipad. Cat A load-bearing on the Olbia OLB 8 to 14 minute shuttle on the local face and the Nice NCE 75 to 90 minute shuttle on the wider Cote d'Azur cross-coast face on the longer transit.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
The 7-night Costa Smeralda central routing runs Olbia OLB embarkation through the Cat A helipad shuttle to the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay alongside, three nights at the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay with the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda terrace, Hotel Pitrizza, and Pevero Golf Club shore programme, two nights at the Cala di Volpe outer-roads with the Hotel Cala di Volpe, Phi Beach Baja Sardinia, and Hotel Romazzino shore-tender afternoon and dinner programme, one daylight at the Porto Rotondo outer-roads with the Spinnaker, Quattro Passi al Pescatore, and Ristorante Conca Verde lunch, two daylight calls at the Caprera National Park Cala Coticcio and Cala Spalmatore on the prior daily-cap permit, and one night on the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay disembark with the Olbia OLB Cat A helipad shuttle.
The 10-night western-Tyrrhenian Costa Smeralda-and-Corsica routing runs the prior 7-night Costa Smeralda programme with the northward passage to Bonifacio, one daylight at the Bonifacio outer-roads with the Bonifacio cliff-citadel shore-tender, one night at the Calvi outer-roads on the wider Corsican leg, and one night at the Scandola Nature Reserve UNESCO daylight-only permit call on the prior coordination.
What the bracket does not do well on Costa Smeralda
The Marina di Porto Rotondo inner-basin alongside plan. The Marina di Porto Rotondo on the Costa Smeralda western shoulder caps at the 30 to 50m envelope on the inner-basin structure, and the 60m-plus hull does not fit. We would pass on any Marina di Porto Rotondo alongside plan at the bracket and route the Porto Rotondo call on the outer-roads anchor with shore tender to the Spinnaker, Quattro Passi al Pescatore, and Ristorante Conca Verde daily lunch-and-afternoon programme, and the overnight call on the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay alongside or the Cala di Volpe outer-roads anchor.
The non-prior-allocation Ferragosto Marina di Porto Cervo plan. The Marina di Porto Cervo north quay Ferragosto August 15 wider-week runs the structurally tight 12-to-18 month allocation on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda framework, and the walk-up plan on the Ferragosto window without the prior north quay allocation runs as the structural blocker. We would pass on any non-prior-allocation Ferragosto Marina di Porto Cervo plan at the bracket and route the booking on the late-July or mid-September shoulder edge with the north quay berth confirmed in writing through the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda framework at contract, or the Cala di Volpe outer-roads anchor contingency on the wider Smeraldina daily structure.
The November through April Smeraldina plan. The Costa Smeralda charter calendar runs the structural May through October window at the bracket, with the November through April winter holding on the wider Italian and Smeraldina winter shutdown with the Hotel Cala di Volpe, Hotel Romazzino, Hotel Pitrizza, and Phi Beach shore programme closed and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda on the off-season. We would pass on the November through April Smeraldina plan and route the bracket on the Caribbean winter rotation.
Two we would book
For two couples plus children, 7-night Costa Smeralda central routing in late June (the pre-Ferragosto shoulder edge ahead of the July central peak) with the Olbia OLB Cat A helipad shuttle to the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay alongside, three nights at the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay with the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda terrace and Hotel Pitrizza shore programme, two nights at the Cala di Volpe outer-roads with the Hotel Cala di Volpe and Phi Beach Baja Sardinia shore-tender afternoon and dinner programme, one daylight at the Porto Rotondo outer-roads with the Spinnaker and Quattro Passi al Pescatore lunch, two daylight calls at the Caprera National Park Cala Coticcio and Cala Spalmatore on the prior daily-cap permit, and one night on the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay disembark: a 63 to 65m motor yacht, 8 cabins, twin fast tenders plus chase plus dive plus limousine, Cat A helipad on the Olbia OLB 10-minute shuttle, captain bench on the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay allocation routine and Cala di Volpe outer-roads shore-tender rotation routine. Budget $1,080K per week, all-in roughly $1.48M including APA at 34 percent and Italian charter VAT framework. Lead time 12 to 18 months for the Ferragosto wider-week and Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup first week of September, 6 to 9 months for the late June and mid-September shoulder edge.
