The world’s rich are sailing the Mediterranean, enjoying a holiday haven on the sea to escape the crowds and the threat of Covid-19.

Eager to jump-start the lagging tourist economy and compete with Greece and Spain, Italy tops the mega-yacht lederboard for a second consecutive month in August. There were 228 super yachts pinging off Italy last week, a 20-vessel jump from the same time last year, according to tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
