Genoa, Italy

While Genoa itself is a busy commercial port with robust yachting infrastructure, its true appeal lies in its proximity to the French Riviera. From here, yachts are perfectly positioned to explore Monaco, Cannes, and Nice—synonymous with luxury cruising. Alternatively, captains may head south along the Italian coast, enjoying everything from the Amalfi Coast to Sicily. Genoa is the launchpad for both Italian and French yachting adventures.
