The history of Costa Smeralda
Perhaps not many people are aware of it, but the Costa Smeralda was "conceived" by Prince Karim Agha Khan, who was in love with this area and so decided in the '60s to buy lands and create the consortium of the Costa Smeralda. The main objective of the project was to enhance and make known this small corner of paradise while preserving the territory, and without a doubt the prince has succeeded in his enterprise, turning it into an exclusive destination for elite tourism. This project has always created divison between the inhabitants of the island and many people think that in reality this area has lost its original character. Today this destination is known throughout the world, but despite the strong presence of tourists, especially in the summer season, you can enjoy the beauty of this area by renting a boat in Sardinia, an option that will allow you to make a wonderful cruise in Costa Smeralda.

This stretch of Sardinia's coastline offers its visitors some of the most beautiful beaches not only in the region, but in the whole country. When renting a boat in Olbia you can not only relax on the beaches of fine golden sand of Costa Smeralda, surrounded by the Mediterranean vegetation and rocks carved by the wind, but you can also discover the most hidden coves and bays.
