After a tiring but pleasant crossing, Adriatica is about to berth at the Genoa Airport Marina, organized precisely to assuage the toil that the hard life at sea involves. “But here it is not a marina. It is a city in the city. It is a district” is the first impression of Patrizio that now, comfortably sitting with Giuseppe Pappalardo, managing director of the Genoa Airport harbour, will get information on the services that this place offers.
It is a harbour that doesn’t have particular draught limits, since the depth in this area is 15 metres, and it can take boats from 8 to 125 metres. Though the boats can be very different sizes, their owners succeed in satisfying every particular demand thanks to a hospitality desk making it possible to deal with the first bureaucratic matters and two historic boatyards to do every type of repair, but also shops and bars as well as the services for the usual maintenance.
The administrator Pappalardo cares to specify that the “basic idea was to have a tourist harbour that was not in a tourist place, but was able to welcome tourism boats, while being hooked up to the structures and infrastructures of the big city” as is shown by the proximity of the harbour to the motorway and the railway station, and obviously the airport.

The harbour provides the following services:

• Financial services - ATM

• Wi-Fi
