Marina Porto Antico. Not just a berth
Location, services, capacity, depths. Often, writing about a port is mainly a technical matter. This is certainly not the case with Marina Porto Antico in Genoa, where it’s not just about a berth near the city. It’s the emotions that speak.
Mooring at Marina Porto Antico undoubtedly means tying your lines to the heart of the city where it stands. The Genoa of De Andrè and Paoli, experienced only through those sounds and scents.
This is because there are ports born not in the city, but with the city that hosts them. Among these, some are at the source and origin of their history. The port of Genoa is an example, always embodying the spirit of its people.
The marina in central Genoa rises within this allure, between the old Darsena and the Aquarium, where the remains of the original port have been found.
It was right here in the early ’90s that a group of Genoese entrepreneurs undertook a multifunctional project. Overall, it consists of three buildings for residential and commercial use and a tourist marina with 280 berths for boats between 10 and 65 meters.
In addition, the land structure, equipped with a parking lot with 230 covered and 55 uncovered parking spaces, was designed to complement the historical part that the Marina faces.
Architect Piero Gambacciani, the project’s author, expanded the route connecting the port to the Aquarium and the Maritime Museum with 10,000 square meters of squares.
The philosophy of our marina in Liguria is palpable and is one you can recognize even from its dockworkers. Professionalism, precise, secure gestures, ready to assist you at any time, day or night.
It’s impossible not to feel reassured by the wide range of services that welcome you once you enter. From the most classic ones like energy, water, and Wi-Fi throughout the Marina, to luggage transport services and laundry pick-up and delivery. Finally, services like the reserved parking for users, the oil and battery disposal service, the firefighting service on all docks, 24-hour security, and the weather service.
Let’s not forget that just a few meters from our berth beats the heart of Genoa. From here, there are many paths to take us to the Ducal Palace, the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Royal Palace, and Castello d’Albertis.
Moreover, if we wish, we can reach the Aquarium or the Maritime Museum in just a few minutes, with the possibility of boarding the Nazario Sauro submarine.
And then, when the time comes to stop, we can find dozens of trattorias and restaurants to satisfy our cravings. Many traditional dishes not to be missed, from pesto to stockfish, from farinata to stuffed vegetables.
Finally, if our intention is to reach our berth at Marina Porto Antico by car, because it is our home port, then there is no need to worry about traffic, taking advantage of the dedicated parking just a few steps from the metro stop.
Berths for superyachts, in the heart of Genoa
For its unbeatable location in the city center, for the excellent services offered to boaters, for the attention to detail, for the spaciousness of the berths: for all these reasons, our marina in Genoa represents the ideal destination for yachts and superyachts in transit in Genoa and Liguria.
We think of our berths for boats up to 75, 40, and 35 meters; but also of the range of opportunities particularly appreciated by the most demanding sailors, ranging from the proximity of the city’s starred restaurants to the dense network of professionals that embraces our port of Genoa.
And then, the time comes to cast off and bid farewell to the city with its Lighthouse, with that enveloping feeling that always, somehow, will bring you back here, to the heart of the port of Genoa.
