A flawless arrival, secure berthing and a familiar face on the quay are what owners expect after time at sea, and it is exactly what our Imperia office is set up to deliver.
About M/Y Giorgio
M/Y Giorgio is a standout example of Italian naval craftsmanship. Designed inside and out by the renowned studio Nuvolari Lenard, she combines sleek exterior lines with refined, contemporary interiors across four well-appointed guest cabins accommodating up to 8 guests, attended by a professional crew of 3. Twin MAN diesels deliver a top speed of 29 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 15 knots, making her equally suited to leisurely coastal cruising and swift open-water passages.
On deck and in the water, Giorgio delivers in equal measure. Her toy inventory includes two F5 SEABOBs, paddleboards, water skis, inflatable toys, snorkelling equipment, and a Williams Jet tender - a complete package for owners and charter guests who want the full Mediterranean watersports experience at their fingertips.
Porto di Imperia: a natural base for yachts on the Italian Riviera
Imperia is one of the most charming deep-water ports on the Italian Riviera and an ideal base for exploring the Ligurian coastline, the nearby French Riviera, and the wider western Mediterranean. The city's waterfront is split across two historic marinas - Porto Maurizio to the west and Oneglia to the east - each offering sheltered berthing for yachts up to 90 metres in length, 24-hour port control, bunkering, and direct access to the A10 autostrada and Genoa, Nice and Monaco airports.
For visiting yachts, Porto di Imperia combines the professional infrastructure of a commercial marina with the character of a working Ligurian fishing town. Owners and crew find excellent provisioning, experienced shipyards for technical work, and a relaxed shoreside culture of trattorias, bakeries and olive oil frantoi that rarely feature on the more saturated Cote d'Azur circuit. It sits roughly 40 nautical miles east of Monaco and 15 miles from Sanremo, making it a natural overnight stop on any Riviera passage plan.
What to know when berthing at Porto di Imperia
Arrival protocol at Porto di Imperia follows standard Italian port practice. VHF traffic is worked on Channel 09 and Channel 16; yachts should contact the marina office with at least 24 hours' notice of arrival, confirm LOA, beam, draft, and estimated time of arrival (ETA), and hold station outside the breakwater until a berth assignment is issued. Customs and Guardia di Finanza clearance is required for vessels arriving from outside the Schengen Area; crew lists, passports and stores declarations should be prepared in advance.
Early berth reservation is essential during the high season (June to September) when availability on the Italian Riviera tightens significantly. Divo Yacht holds direct relationships with marina masters across Liguria and can secure berthing on short notice when last-minute weather routing or itinerary changes require it. Our Ventimiglia office covers the western end of the Riviera all the way to the French border.
