Syusy visits Loano harbour, managed by the firm called Marina di Loano. Over the years – since 1993 – the area has been enlarged to take more boats, but a smaller harbour existed before with 500 boat places. At the end of the work in progress, it will even be able to take 1300 boats. The mooring assistant that accompanies Syusy explains that the harbour has everything a sailor needs, from a garage to photovoltaic panels. There is also a shipyard, which is the shape of a recumbent whale, and a control tower.

What is the strangest thing present in the harbour? Although the harbour is technologically advanced, it is curious to discover that a part of a quay used by the old fishermen still exists. A very rare thing!

To enter the west harbour it is necessary to follow the shipyard, while if you arrive from the east you take as your reference point the yellow cathedral to identify the entry.
