IGY Marinas, a global leader in marina management, has teamed up with Aqua superPower to introduce electric marine charging to Sardinia for the first time. The installation of an Aqua 75 fast charger at IGY Portisco Marina underscores IGY’s ongoing commitment to sustainable solutions and environmentally responsible boating.
This initiative builds on the success of Aqua 75 charger deployments at IGY Vieux-Port de Cannes, further strengthening IGY’s collaboration with Aqua superPower to expand electric charging across Europe.
“We are excited to continue our collaboration with Aqua superPower to bring cutting-edge sustainable solutions to our marinas,” said Adrian Grijincu, General Manager at IGY Portisco Marina. “The installation of the Aqua 75 at IGY Portisco Marina reflects our ongoing dedication to providing forward-thinking solutions for sustainable yachting while maintaining the high standard of service our clients expect.”
IGY Portisco Marina: A Prime Destination with a Green Vision
Located at the entrance to Costa Smeralda, IGY Portisco Marina offers 589 berths for vessels up to 90 meters. It is a premier yachting hub known for its crystal-clear waters, secure breakwater, and top-tier services, including luxury dining, shopping, and world-class hospitality.
As part of its sustainability efforts, the marina operates on 100% renewable electricity, utilizes solar thermal panels, and implements advanced waste recycling. Water/oil separators prevent contamination, while floating booms and dispersants are ready to tackle any spills—ensuring the protection of the marine ecosystem.
Karen Gill, Chief Operations Officer at Aqua superPower, emphasised the significance of this partnership: “We’re proud to expand our relationship with IGY Marinas and deliver our marine fast-charging technology to IGY Portisco Marina. This installation represents a crucial step in advancing sustainable boating in the Mediterranean, enabling electric vessel owners to explore this beautiful region, while reducing their environmental impact.”
Expanding Electric Boating in Sardinia
With the new charging infrastructure in place, IGY Portisco Marina is now an ideal launch point for eco-conscious boaters exploring Sardinia’s coastline. Electric boats can easily reach the protected Maddalena Islands, just 20 nautical miles north, enabling sustainable day trips with minimal environmental impact.
Driving the Future of Marine Sustainability
The adoption of Aqua superPower’s high-speed charging network presents an opportunity for marina owners, waterfront destinations, and local governments to support the growing shift toward electric boating. With recharge times between 20 to 90 minutes, Aqua’s smart superchargers make cleaner, greener marine travel more accessible than ever.
By integrating advanced electric charging at IGY Portisco Marina, IGY Marinas and Aqua superPower are shaping the future of sustainable yachting—one marina at a time.
