Genoa is one of the five most important cities in Italy and has been a great commercial port for over 900 years. For yachtsmen, Genoa is a great opportunity to combine an interesting yacht trip (including by charter yacht) with exploring the history and culture of Genoa and the possibility to get home quickly and conveniently from Genoa International Airport. There are several marinas in and around Genoa: Genova Aeroporto, Sestri Ponente, Porto Antico, Molo Vecchio, Abruzzi and Fiera di Genova (where the annual Boat Show is held). There is a base of charter company in Genoa that offers bareboat yachts for rent.
