Security Considerations in Porto Cervo and the Costa Smeralda

In Porto Cervo, retail activity is concentrated between June and September, when seasonal boutiques, galleries and pop-up showrooms reopen within a few days and work extended evening hours. The pedestrian areas around the Piazzetta and the marina receive a steady flow of visitors and yacht guests, so coverage requires discreet officers used to dealing with clients, and clear procedures for opening, closing and safeguarding high-value merchandise during the closed months.

The September regattas organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, private evenings at villas and receptions at coastal hotels require access control and guest list management. Distances between Olbia, Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo and nearby resorts are short, but summer traffic is slow, so shifts and travel must be planned with a margin. Officers are required to speak Italian and English; French and German are useful with international clients.

Out of season, many commercial and residential properties remain closed for long periods. In these months the needs are mainly patrols, periodic access checks, checks of building systems and coordination with property caretakers. The mistral, frequent in this part of Sardinia, can affect sea connections and outdoor event setups, and is a factor to consider in the Post Orders.

Common Questions

Can Coverage Be Arranged for the Summer Season Only?

Many businesses on the Costa Smeralda operate seasonally, and the program can follow the same calendar, with a preparation phase before opening and a review at the end of the season. Duration, hours and number of officers are defined after the site assessment. During the closed months, reduced services such as patrols or periodic checks can be arranged.

How Is Coverage Priced?

Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
