Yacht Charters

The medieval port city of Genoa is one of the Mediterranean’s greatest gems, serving as the center of Italian economics and one of Europe’s leading cultural destinations. Its port is Italy’s main seaport on the Mediterranean, with passenger terminals and six marinas.

A yacht charter to Genoa will take you back in time to cozy streets, epic cathedrals, palaces, museums, cuisine, and historic sites.

Genoa is home to both the house where Christopher Columbus was born and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Renaissance and Baroque Rolli Palaces.
