One of the world’s leading international marina networks, IGY Marinas, has partnered with Aqua superPower to introduce the first electric marine charging system to Sardinia. IGY installed an Aqua 75 marine fast charger at IGY Portisco Marina, reinforcing its dedication to sustainability and the company's environmental stewardship.
IGY Portisco Marina
IGY Portisco Marina is one of IGY’s 23 premier locations globally that has 589 berths accommodating vessels up to 90-metre. Located at the gateway to the Costa Smeralda, the marina serves crystal-clear waters, a safe outer breakwater and amenities, including shops, dining and customer service.
To protect the marine ecosystem, the marina uses water/oil separators, floating booms and dispersants to prevent contamination and address oil spills. The marina’s sustainability initiatives help reduce carbon emissions, conserve resources and prevent pollution.
IGY Marinas
IGY’s global network of marina destinations set standards for service and quality in nautical tourism. IGY manages marinas across the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East, serving a variety of vessel types and being the preferred port for many of the world's largest vessels.
"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."

Innovation and sustainability
The addition of Aqua superPower’s 75 fast charger at IGY Portisco Marina aligns with the destination’s appeal as a haven for modern, eco-conscious boaters and also allows electric boating day trips to the protected Maddalena Islands, located 20 nautical miles to the north. Aqua superPower's smart superchargers offer users to recharge in 20-90 minutes, which enhances the transition to sustainable marine travel.
