IGY Marinas and Aqua superPower Launch First Electric Marine Charger in Sardinia
Portisco, ITALY – 5th February 2025 - IGY Marinas, the world’s leading international marina network, has partnered with Aqua superPower to bring electric marine charging to Sardinia for the first time. The installation of an Aqua 75 marine fast charger at IGY Portisco Marina reinforces IGY’s commitment to sustainability and marks another milestone in its dedication to environmental stewardship.
This installation follows the successful deployment of two Aqua 75 chargers at IGY Vieux-Port de Cannes, strengthening ASP’s relationship with IGY for electric charging infrastructure in 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, one of IGY’s 23 premier locations globally, boasts 589 berths capable of accommodating vessels up to 90 meters. Situated at the gateway to the iconic Costa Smeralda, the marina offers crystal-clear waters, a safe outer breakwater, and a wide range of high-end amenities, including shops, dining, and world-class customer service.
Solar thermal panels, 100%renewable electricity, and dedicated waste recycling systems are part of the many sustainable practices at IGY Portisco Marina. The marina also uses water/oil separators to prevent contamination and provides floating booms and dispersants to address oil spills, ensuring quick action to protect marine ecosystems. These initiatives reduce carbon emissions, conserve resources, and prioritise pollution prevention, setting a new standard for environmental stewardship.
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.”
Portisco is renowned for its stunning coastal scenery, turquoise waters, and serene beaches. The addition of Aqua superPower’s charging infrastructure at IGY Portisco Marina aligns with the destination’s appeal as a haven for modern, eco-conscious boaters, and also allows for multiple electric boating day trips to the protected Maddalena Islands 20 nautical miles to the north.
Marina owners, waterfront destinations, and local governments have a unique opportunity to embrace and support electric boating by adopting Aqua superPower’s high-speed, reliable charging infrastructure. With an expanding range of electric boats now available, Aqua’s smart networked superchargers enable users to recharge in just 20 to 90 minutes, supporting the transition to cleaner, more sustainable marine travel.
This latest collaboration between IGY Marinas and Aqua superPower highlights a shared vision to transform the marine industry through innovation and sustainability.
