Quick answer: Blackcars Porto Cervo runs fixed-rate transfers from Olbia Airport (OLB) starting at €175.50 in an E-Class sedan for the 33 km, 35–40 minute drive, with V-Class and S-Class options through to €331. Hire Driver and Car runs 4-hour, 8-hour and 24-hour blocks across the Mercedes, Maybach, Bentley and Rolls-Royce fleet — the standard format for Yacht Club Costa Smeralda regatta weeks, when guests move between marina, hotel and event village throughout the day.
Porto Cervo — the Heart of the Costa Smeralda
Porto Cervo was conceived in the early 1960s by Prince Karim Aga Khan IV alongside the founders of San Pellegrino and Patrick Guinness, who together acquired some 55 kilometres of Sardinian coastline and built what remains Italy's most concentrated address for international luxury — often described as "the Italian Saint-Tropez." At its centre is the Piazzetta, a small stone square ringed by boutiques and cafés where the day's marina traffic and the evening's social calendar converge; below it, the marina itself berths some of the largest private yachts in the Mediterranean for the length of the summer season. Porto Cervo sits roughly 33 km, or 35–40 minutes by road, from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) — a 10-minute helicopter transfer is also available and frequently used by clients arriving on private aircraft directly into the airport's dedicated FBO.
The wider Porto Cervo area unfolds across a series of named bays, each with its own villa concentration and hotel anchor: Cala di Volpe, home to the Jacques Couëlle-designed Hotel Cala di Volpe (famous as a filming location for The Spy Who Loved Me and a regular host to Grace Kelly and, more recently, Beyoncé); Pevero, anchored by the Robert Trent Jones-designed Pevero Golf Club; Capriccioli and Liscia di Vacca, both quieter villa enclaves; and Romazzino, further along the coast toward the Maddalena archipelago. Drivers route between all of these on request as part of a single Hire Driver and Car booking rather than treating each as a separate transfer.

Porto Cervo 2026 — Regatta Calendar & the Billionaire Season
Porto Cervo's social calendar is organised almost entirely around the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS), founded here in 1967 by Prince Karim Aga Khan IV and still the venue for the Mediterranean's most prestigious sailing fixtures. The season's marquee opener is the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta (26–30 May), which brings a fleet of racing and cruising superyachts directly into Porto Cervo marina and the Maddalena archipelago. 2026 also marks the return of the historic Sardinia Cup (31 May – 7 June, partnered by Range Rover) after decades away, alongside the season's other fixtures: the Rolex TP52 World Championship (15–20 June), the Smeralda 888 Invitational (26–28 June) and Coppa Europa (3–5 July), the YCCS Members' Championship (29 July – 1 August), and the offshore Palermo–Porto Cervo–Montecarlo race in mid-August.
September is Porto Cervo's defining month: the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup (6–12 September) is the benchmark global event for yachts over 18.3 metres, drawing the most spectacular fleet and the densest concentration of owners, crews and press of the entire year, followed immediately by the biennial Rolex Swan Cup (13–19 September) for the Nautor's Swan fleet. Beyond sailing, Porto Cervo's summer calendar includes a classic car concours in early July at Poltu Quatu, the Polo Challenge with its purpose-built hospitality village, and the nightly social rhythm of the Billionaire club, owned by Flavio Briatore and among the most recognised names in Mediterranean nightlife. Throughout the season, the Piazzetta itself functions as the daily meeting point — restaurant reservations, marina coordination and onward transfers to Hotel Cala di Volpe or the Pevero Golf Club are best arranged through a single Hire Driver and Car booking rather than separate point-to-point transfers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a private transfer from Olbia Airport to Porto Cervo?
From €175.50 in an E-Class sedan for the 33 km, 35–40 minute drive. V-Class vans start at €212 and the executive S-Class at €331, all fixed and confirmed before pickup. A 10-minute helicopter transfer is also available on request.
Do you serve Hotel Cala di Volpe and the Pevero Golf Club?
Yes. Cala di Volpe is served from OLB at €165 and Pevero at €172 in the E-Class sedan, both on the same fixed-rate basis as the main Porto Cervo transfer. Hire Driver and Car bookings routinely combine both with a Piazzetta or marina stop on the same disposal.
What is the best way to get around during Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup or Rolex Swan Cup week?
Hire Driver and Car booked as a 24-hour block, since regatta-week guests typically move between the marina, the YCCS clubhouse, hotel and evening venues multiple times a day. The fleet runs from the Mercedes E-Class up to Maybach, Bentley and Rolls-Royce, all booked at a fixed rate that avoids re-booking between each leg.
Is there a helicopter option from Olbia Airport to Porto Cervo?
Yes — a 10-minute helicopter transfer is available on request as an alternative to the 35–40 minute road transfer, and is commonly used by clients arriving via the airport's dedicated private aviation FBO.
Do you also cover the wider Costa Smeralda, not just Porto Cervo?
Yes — see Blackcars Costa Smeralda for transfers to Olbia town, San Pantaleo, Baia Sardinia, Poltu Quatu and Romazzino, and for the full regional regatta calendar.
