Porto Azzurro, formerly known as Portolongone, the elegant “living room” of Elba, Italy - the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago. This part of Italy, in the western Mediterranean, is one of the most popular areas for luxury yacht charters and superyachts in the world. Nearby yachting hot spots include Tuscany, Capri, Corsica and even Sardinia. Porto Azzurro lies at the base of the promontory that ends at the area known as San Giacomo, which is also known by some seasoned sailors and other yacht charter enthusiasts as Fortezza di Longone.
Porto Azzurro was a former fishing village along the eastern coast of the Island of Elba. Considered as a charming place to see, this quaint town boasts of what could be one of the aesthetically ideal harbours in the region.
This town lies on the Gulf of Mola’s deep inlet, which is adequately protected. This is the reason why the town’s port is the favorite destination of yachting enthusiasts, especially those who come from Tuscany. Porto Azzurro is also the favorite stop of sailors and yachting aficionados who are exploring popular yacht charter destinations in the Island of Elba.
Porto Azurro was already an important port in one of the busiest maritime routes as far back as the ancient times. Today, this quaint town evokes a character that is typical of the Old Italian village with its distinctive white-washed houses and verdant landscape.
Yacht Charter Holiday in Porto Azzurro
Porto Azzuro features narrow alleyways snaking through rolling terrain with twisting turns leading to the town’s Piazza Matteotti. For those who are familiar of the place, Porto Azzurro is considered as the center of important activities in Elba. Seasoned sailors and tourists who are spending their Mediterranean holiday onboard their charter yacht visit favorite attractions and these include the town’s 2 ports – Focardo and San Giacomo – which are the remains of the sprawling defensive structures of the Old Town and the Mola Gulf.
The verdant countryside is covered by long stretches of lush orchards and vineyards. The holiday experience in Porto Azzurro is a seamless mix of the natural marvels and a rich array of archeological and cultural treasures.
Yacht charter enthusiasts who want fast and convenient access to Porto Azzurro should travel by air. This idyllic town is a short 20-km drive from Marina di Campo airport, which is located on the opposite section of Elba. Seasoned sailors may also access Porto Azzurro by water, onboard their luxury yacht or by ferry service. Ports of origin include the islands of Pianosa, Rio Marina and Piombino.
What to Do and See on Your Porto Azzurro Yachting Experience
Popular attractions and important sights in Porto Azzurro include Terranera Lake, which is famous for its yellowish tint. It is a short drive from the town centre and can be accessed by taking the road that passes through Rio nell’Elba. You should also include in your day activities a visit to the Little Mine, which can be reached while on your way to Rio Marina. Tourists and seasoned sailors can take a small train to explore the small mine, which features a collection of stalagmites and stalactites, as well as carts and other mining equipment. Inside the mine, you can also find a grotto.
Indeed, you should see this enchanting Italian town on Elba via a luxury charter superyacht, with all its natural marvels and important landmarks, if you are planning to spend your yacht charter vacation in the Mediterranean.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
An Amazing Experience: My company is VIP Yacht Charter Group where I offer Glatt Kosher Yacht charters. I transitioned from day to term charters and was looking for a company and broker that I could trust. I reached out to Trina and explained to here that I have a client that was looking to do a week Glatt Kosher charter in the South of France. I knew from our initial call that she was the right person to work with. Trina is extremely knowledgeable in the charter world. The Yacht she recommended was Zeemar a 100ft, 5 stateroom beauty, and there couldn't have been a better yacht and crew for this client. Trina went above and beyond to make sure that everything went perfectly from communicating with the client to Captain and even provisioner. She was always available to talk no matter what time it was. I am so grateful to Trina that this charter went way beyond the clients' expectations.
LJ, I have just spoken with the client and his feedback was all very positive. He said this was their best charter in the Bahamas. Captain Chris and his team were brilliant and looked after them beautifully. He felt they saw places they have never seen before, experiences that they’d never had before and that Chris had really understood the brief and that his knowledge of the Bahamas was amazing. In short, they loved it and would like to come back. They have chartered extensively, and this was one of their favourite experiences and their little boy’s favourite yacht (apparently he cried when he left as he’d had such a great time).
Sally, the trip went very well indeed. We would be hard pushed to expect any better. The boat was adequately furnished as advertised, very clean and very efficiently run. Toys and facilities all in working order and always at hand. The crew were always prompt, efficient and very courteous, eager to please with a genuine smile. Captain Mate runs an excellent crew and is very professional. The food was excellent and varied. The Captain’s wife was in charge of the kitchen and worked tirelessly to impress us with her skills. We had a wonderful time on board and have nothing to complain about. We would certainly recommend the Son de Mar to friends and families that enjoy the sea and love the simple, essential pleasures of a laid-back life on board a very good value for money yacht. DM
Sally, hi, the trip was amazing; we loved LIR. The crew were fantastic, and the chef came up with some fabulous meals. The itinerary was great, and the weather was almost perfect. We loved it so much we would definitely consider a repeat trip, maybe around Sicily, in the future.
Sally, Thank you guys for the most amazing week. Your kindness and expertise made all the difference. Can't wait to come back again! It was an amazing experience. Thank you! The crew were the best people in the world, we will miss them. Thank you for all you’ve done. This truly has been a life-changing week! Filled with so many unforgettable memories, laughs, and so many smiles. I can’t thank you all enough for making this a week to remember! This has been the BEST week of my life. You guys are amazing people; I’m so grateful.
Hi Sally, we had a great time! The crew were fantastic and really went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. Thank you also for all your organizing and help. Kind regards, S.
