a tour through liguria by luxury car with driver
On the agenda from the 21st to the 26th of September will be Genoa’s 57th Annual Boat Show, an internationally important showpiece of nautical history.
What better occasion to enjoy the last days of summer in the Italian city which more than any other resonates with an astounding passion for seafaring, being largest port in Italy in size, number of ship routes, and final undocking of incoming freight.
The Genoa Boat Show is without a doubt the most important of the Mediterranean and the events during this period are each year more numerous and range from conventions in the sector to conferences, workshops, and even forums.
But the Genoa Boat Show is not the only opportunity for professional enrichment; there is also a city-wide event open to the public and amateur boaters.
Regattas, exhibitions, award ceremonies, and presentations of cutting-edge nautical innovation gift visitors with an incredible experience given the quality and the effort with which the events are carried out throughout the city.
Reaching Genoa in time for the Annual Boat Show by car with personal driver offers all the comfort of bypassing the inconvenience of traffic and parking during the days in which the city will be crawling with visitors. Vip Limousine NCC Milano will take care of all the practical necessities for participation in this event: from transportation to driver assignment, from you overnight stay(s) to meals, with the opportunity to reach and visit, apart from the Boat Show, also the most exclusive localities on the Ligurian Riviera, thereby enriching the festival visit with excursions to match each client’s needs and taste.
The theatrical exhibitions of this year’s edition are dedicated to the legend of Moby Dick which will be represented on the Chiatte Island near Porto Antico, a picturesque setting of great significance to the legend.
Among the events, we highlight the Award Ceremony for Best Boat of the Year, sponsored by UCINA- Confindustria Nautica e Vela e Motore; the Award Ceremony for the Best of Boats Award, an international award presented in Genoa for the first time ever, which pits, from the utility point of view, four categories of motor against one another: those for family use, novice use, recreational use, and for cruise ships. Last but not least, there will be honorary mention awarded based on design options, under direction of the prestigious ADI (Association for Industrial Design).
Experience is indeed the format that the Genoa Boat Show reserves for the world of aquatic sports, with the exposition of wind surf boards, jet surf equipment, and aquatic games, all of which can be tested out within the dedicated area.
The most futuristic and innovative devices dedicated to electric mobility (such as scooters, hoverboards, e-bikes, and more) will be displayed and may be tested at the Boat Show.
Partnerships with the most important commercial operators will not be lacking. They will render the Show pleasant and tasteful and will include: Costa Eduteinment, which will manage the spectacular Aquarium and the Galata Sea Museum and Eataly, which offers a quality gastronomic experience.
Outside of Genoa, there is a must-see attraction aboard a private boat in the locality of San Fruttuoso, jewel of FAI (Italian foundation for arts and restoration), with its 10th century abbey.
A “trip inside a trip” capable of gifting authentic emotions, framed within the Natural Parco of Monte di Portofino, a protected area among the most fragile and abounding with hidden gems: Camogli and its small surrounding village, Punta Chiappacon with its traditional tuna-fishing nets (still active today from May to September, near San Nicolò di Capidimonte), the Cristo degli Abissi, bronze statue dedicated to those who died at sea and to those who dedicated their lives to the sea, situated on the seabed facing San Fruttuoso
Since 1954, the year of its placement, the Cristo degli abissi (Christ of the Abysses) has become the symbol for all divers who come from all over the world for this unique dive.
It is not possible to leave the park without having visited the most famous locality, now part of the international jet set and tourism of the elite: Portofino.
“I found my love in Portofino,” wrote (and sang) Fred Buscaglione in 1958, and after him, even more heart-strung refrains, such as that from French singer Dalida.
Famous among musicians, writers, movie-makers, and of course, the most famous marina in the world, capable of attracting visitors and tourists from every country and remaining a symbol of unique and elegant style, with its historic villas hovering over sharp cliffs facing the sea, walks, and picturesque corners that will not fail to astound you and delight even the most refined of tastes.
