Description

The Duca degli Abruzzi Marina is a private facility reserved exclusively for its members, although the club does grant temporary access to non-members when necessary. The marina provides its guests with mooring, storage, and boat hauling services, in addition to the numerous amenities available within the private club.

The port is located within the much larger harbor basin of the Port of Genoa and enjoys a central location in the Town, between the Old Port and the Genoa Fairgrounds.Access by sea is through the eastern entrance to the Port of Genoa, near the Punta Vagno lighthouse. From there, you must sail along the starboard side of the entrance channel for about 500 meters, from the Genoa Fairgrounds to Molo Cagni, staying exclusively within the entrance channel, which is about 40 meters wide. From there, you can pull up to the starboard side and enter the marina.

The Duca degli Abruzzi Marina is home to the Italian Yacht Club, which has 7 piers, 6 floating docks, and one dock along the shore, providing mooring for approximately 200 boats. Additional berths are reserved for the Italian Naval League (100 berths) and the rowing clubs Rowing Club Genovese (12 berths) and Società Canottieri Elpis (68 berths).

The most notable institution within the Duca degli Abbruzzi Marina is undoubtedly the Italian Yacht Club, founded in 1879, which remains the oldest sailing club in the Mediterranean. Also of particular interest are its clubhouse—which was destroyed and rebuilt after the bombings of World War II—and the library, which offers members access to more than 1,500 books, as well as numerous nautical magazines.
By land, the marina can be reached by car from the Town by taking the Aldo Moro elevated highway and exiting onto Via della Marina to access the Molo Giano Port Entrance. Alternatively, you can reach the marina by metro by getting off at the S. Agostino stop and taking the Via/Piazza della Marina exit, which leads directly to the Molo Giano Port Gate.

Points of interest

An important point of interest around Porticciolo Duca degli Abbruzzi is undoubtedly the Fiera di Genova, where the Genoa Boat Show, one of the world’s most important fairs dedicated to recreational boating, is held every year between September and October.

Curiosities

At the end of the Giano Pier, at the mouth of the Duca degli Abruzzi Marina, is the Port of Genoa’s pilot control tower, which collapsed during the sad accident on May 7, 2013, following a collision with the container ship Jolly Nero.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
