Marina Genova Aeroporto

Tucked right next to Genoa's Cristoforo Colombo international airport on the city's western edge, this well-equipped marina can handle up to 500 boats ranging all the way to 130 meters, so whether you're on a modest yacht or a superyacht, you'll find a berth. It stays lively year-round, which means you're never pulling into a ghost town, and the historic center of Genoa — one of Italy's most underrated old cities — is just a short ride away. Its position on the western Mediterranean also makes it a solid base if you're planning longer cruises along the Ligurian coast or beyond.
