Costa Smeralda Yacht Club Sardegna; a world-class marina

The Costa Smeralda Yacht Club was founded on 12th May 1967 by H.H. Aga Khan as a non-profit making sporting association for sailing enthusiasts and to promote related activities. Since then, it has become a luxurious resort where the most impressive superyachts can be found throughout the summer.

It is also within striking distance of the religious site of Stella Maris, the Pevero Golf Club, and the beautiful Cala Granu Beach.

The first half of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda’s 2021 sporting events season has seen the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, the Swan Sardinia Challenge and the Grand Prix 2 event of Persico 69F Cup all run smoothly and held in complete compliance with Covid-19 prevention procedures. This part of the season ended in July with the Coppa Europa Smeralda 888.

The second half of the season will begin with the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup held from September 5th to 11th. No less than 44 maxi yachts will gather in Costa Smeralda, a fleet size that rivals that of pre-pandemic editions. The 100’ (30,5m) Comanche will be back, sailed by her new owner and two splendid J Class yachts, Topaz and Velsheda, will fight it out just like they used to in the old days of the America’s Cup. The minimum LOA to be part of this fleet is 18m, but from there the fleet is varied and includes pure racers like the Maxi72s and racer/cruisers whose owners like to use the same yacht to race and to vacation in comfort. The fleet will be divided into Classes according to type of yacht.

Vela & Golf, the traditional YCCS event that sees teams compete for points both on the green at the Golf Club del Pevero and on the water aboard the Club’s fleet of J/70s, will be held towards the end of the season from September 17th to 19th. Six teams have enrolled: Yacht Club de Monaco, Yacht Club Adriaco, Yacht Club Punta Ala, Marina Militare, Pevero Golf Club and, naturally, a team from the YCCS.

The final event of the Sailing Champions League will wind up the 2021 season in Porto Cervo. Held from October 7th to 10th this event will see teams from various international yacht clubs compete aboard the YCCS fleet of J/70s in brief rounds of “flights” until a winner is declared. 

All of the events at the YCCS will be held in compliance with Covid-19 prevention regulations declared by Italy, the Region of Sardinia and the Federazione Italiana Vela.

YCCS Yacht Club

Adjacent to the world-class resort community of Oil Nut Bay is the YCCS Marina, the new Caribbean home of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, owned and managed by his Royal Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan. It’s a deep-water port and club serving the owners of the world’s finest mega-yachts and guests when they winter in the New World.

With its decor provided by Gotham of Notting Hill, London, and supervised by Countess Beatrice Von Der Schulenburg, the YCCS Yacht Club includes a bar, restaurant, lounge and patio open to the public and a Club Room, Great Room and Gym for members only.

When Think Simple began work on the club’s technology, they knew the aesthetics of the rooms and their finish would be paramount. The client did not want to see TVs mixed in with their superb decor and furnishings. The team installed an audio, video and lighting control system that is invisible when not in use.

Club members use the system to enjoy music, catch up on the news, watch a movie or a big game, and, on occasion, make a presentation to clients or colleagues. The sound and video quality had to be superb and, because of the challenging Caribbean environment, components had to be exceptionally well-made to resist salt, wind and storms. Think Simple used Crestron control, Crestron Sonnex and DigitalMedia distribution systems, plus Samsung TVs, Sonance, James and NuVo speakers.

We feel lucky to have the opportunity to work on projects of this caliber. Yet we’ve worked hard to maintain relationships, build reliable systems, make every deadline and, above all, keep operations extremely simple for our clients.

We base our approach on something Leonardo da Vinci once said:  “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
