Vintage Boats at Marina Genova
The Classic Boat Show is the event dedicated to vintage and classic boats held at Marina Genova, the modern tourist port in the Sestri Ponente district, in Genoa. The event is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the charm of traditional seamanship and meet enthusiasts and industry professionals.
Historic Hulls on Display
The show hosts historic boats of great value, including gaff-rigged ketches, vintage yachts, and boats from Italian shipbuilding tradition, with hulls spanning over a century of nautical history. Sail and motorboats up to 40 meters, dinghies, and motorboats are welcome, in an exhibition that combines elegance and maritime heritage.
