Understanding fireworks regulations in Sardinia
Sardinia does not have predefined authorized sites for fireworks displays. Instead, authorizations are granted on a case-by-case basis after a thorough evaluation of the requested location.
Key points to keep in mind:
-
Fireworks cannot be launched without proper permits.
-
A site inspection by the supplier is required to assess suitability.
-
The approval process involves multiple authorities, making last-minute requests difficult to accommodate.
Location selection and authorization process
By law, not all locations in Sardinia can be authorized for fireworks displays. The feasibility of the show depends on various factors, including safety regulations, environmental restrictions, and proximity to residential areas.
To ensure a smooth process, our suppliers carefully assess the best possible location based on where the yacht is positioned. This allows us to recommend a site that maximizes both safety and visual impact while complying with local regulations.
Key considerations for location approval
-
Some areas allow faster authorization due to their strategic positioning.
-
Private properties require owner approval before any permits can be requested.
-
Fireworks displays must comply with safety distance regulations, which our suppliers evaluate through an on-site inspection.
-
The closer the event date, the fewer the location options available due to permitting timeframes.
The authorization process and timeframes
-
Standard approval time: At least 10 days in advance.
-
Permit validity: Fireworks must take place before midnight. If an event requires a later show, additional approval for a two-day permit must be secured in advance.
Additional considerations
-
If the requested location is not deemed suitable, we will suggest an alternative nearby that meets legal and safety requirements.
-
Cost estimates vary depending on the location and type of fireworks display.
