World's most expensive marina's

If you assume Port Hercule in Monaco is the most expensive place to berth a superyacht, think again. In fact, five other places – three in Italy alone – cost owners much more per night.


Port Hercule Monaco

Those are the findings of a report from Wealth Bulletin, an online news service for the global wealth-management industry. Using a 70-meter (230-foot) megayacht as the base example, Wealth Bulletin found that Capri costs an average of €2,900 ($3,958) per night, followed by Porto Cervo in Sardinia at €2,500 ($3,412) and Portofino at €2,350 ($3,208) per night. This makes Port Hercule seem downright reasonable at an average of €1,200 ($1,638) per night. Note “average” – each of these, plus the other six marinas on the list, charge more for peak periods.


Yacht Club Costa Smeralda

Here are the first 3 itemst of the top ten list at Mega Yacht News:

1. Capri, Italy: average daily fee: €2,900 ($3,958); number of berths: 10
2. Porto Cervo, Sardinia, Italy: average daily fee: €2,500 ($3,412); number of berths: 60. (Interesting note about the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, pictured above: The Wealth Bulletin found that its daily fee can actually cost more than €2,500, although prices were reduced last year. In addition, the annual fee for a 40-meter, or 131-footer, costs around €115,000, or nearly $157,000.)
3. Portofino, Italy: average daily fee: €2,350 ($3,208); number of berths
