The yachting hub of Marina Genova Aeroporto, with its strategic position in the Mediterranean Sea, its close proximity to an international airport and room for over five hundred boats, officially opened a new dock during the last edition of Genoa Boat Show.
The dock adds four mooring spots suited to host superyachts up to 130 metres, and two further spaces for 90m superyachts as well. These spaces come in addition to the moorings already catering for yachts up to 90 metres: the world’s biggest and most sophisticated yachts and mega yachts find their home port within the marina’s wide areas, facilities and state-of–the-art services to offer efficient solutions to on board requirements.
“Our dock offers the widest availability in the whole of the Mediterranean of moorings for superyachts,” said Giuseppe Pappalardo, CEO of S.S.P. – Società Sviluppo Porti, the management company for the Marina.“Now Genoa can also join the exclusive club of ideal moorings for giga yachts. Our Marina can accommodate these large vessels while providing secure landings and high quality services which are a feature of our internationally acknowledged unique degree of competence.”

The global yachting market may be slowing, but Italy’s boatbuilding industry continues to outperform, driven by the superyacht and premium segments. That was the key takeaway from the fourth edition of The State of the Art of the Global Yachting Market, the report produced by Deloitte and Edison Foundation in collaboration with Confindustria Nautica and presented in Milan at the headquarters of Borsa Italiana.
