Our Presence in Imperia
Divo Yacht's headquarters is located in the historic Porto Maurizio district of Imperia, along the beautiful Ligurian coast. From this strategic location, we coordinate our full range of yacht brokerage and yacht services. Our experienced team provides end-to-end support for yacht sales, from market valuations and buyer consultations to contract negotiations and post-sale assistance. The Imperia office serves as the operational heart of Divo Yacht, where our dedicated professionals manage yacht listings, organize viewings, and facilitate smooth transactions for clients across the Mediterranean. With direct access to the marinas of the Italian Riviera, we offer unparalleled proximity to some of the most prestigious mooring locations in the region.
Why Imperia
Imperia sits at the heart of the Italian Riviera, between the glamour of the French Côte d'Azur and the charm of the Ligurian coast. The city's Porto Maurizio harbor has been a maritime hub for centuries, making it an ideal base for yacht brokerage. Our location provides direct access to Sanremo, Monaco, Nice, and Portofino - all within easy reach by sea. The surrounding infrastructure includes world-class shipyards, refit facilities, and marina services, enabling us to offer comprehensive yacht management and technical support to our clients.
Location & Directions
We welcome you to visit our Imperia office for a personal consultation. Whether you are considering purchasing your first yacht, selling an existing vessel, or seeking professional yacht management services, our team is here to guide you through every step. You are welcome to visit us during business hours.
Divo Yacht's Imperia office is the operational headquarters of our yacht brokerage, charter and management business on the Italian Riviera. Located at Via Sant'Antonio 2 in the historic district of Porto Maurizio, it sits within walking distance of the deep-water basin of Porto di Imperia and has served as our home base since the company was founded.
Why we are headquartered in Imperia
Imperia is strategically positioned at the midpoint of the Ligurian Riviera. It is approximately 40 nautical miles east of Monaco, 15 miles from Sanremo, and roughly 80 miles from Genoa - close enough to every major Italian Riviera port to put our team on board any yacht within a single day. The port is deep, sheltered, and commercially equipped: essential for handling the 24-90 metre yachts that form the bulk of our brokerage and management book.
Unlike the more saturated circuits of Monaco or Cannes, Imperia still operates as a working Ligurian port - shipyards, bunker barges, provisioners and sailmakers all within the two marina basins. For owners and captains, that translates into faster turnarounds, lower berthing costs, and genuine local expertise on the ground. Read more about M/Y arrivals from our news desk.

Imperia's yachting ecosystem
Beyond the Divo Yacht office, Porto di Imperia supports an entire yachting ecosystem: Amico & Co Riviera (refit), Fincantieri Yachts (nearby La Spezia), established sailmakers, marine electricians, and canvas workshops. The annual Vele d'Epoca di Imperia classic yacht regatta, held every September in odd-numbered years, is one of the most respected gatherings of vintage sailing yachts in the Mediterranean. For buyers evaluating a purchase, the presence of so many specialist trades within walking distance of the dock is a practical advantage during survey and refit.

The office is at Via Sant'Antonio 2, Porto Maurizio, 18100 Imperia (IM), Italy. We are a three-minute walk from the Quai del Portovecchio, a 12-minute drive from the A10 Imperia Ovest exit, and an 80-minute transfer from Nice Cote d'Azur Airport or 90 minutes from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport.
