Ligurian Coast Cruising Guide

An online cruising guide for yachts sailing around the Ligurian Coast or Ligurian Sea in Italy.

The Ligurian Sea

The Ligurian Coast is less frequented by cruising yachts than other parts of Italy, since most yachts tend to head down from the Riviera coast of France to Corsica and then Sardinia. It is nevertheless a fine cruising ground with some attractive harbours and anchorages. It extends from the border with France at San Remo round as far as Livorno, and includes the major ports of Genoa and La Spezia as well as marinas at the harbours of (west to east) San Remo, Aregai, Andora, Alassio, Finale, Savona, Varazze, Arenzano, Rapallo, Chiavari and Lavagna. See below for detailed information on all harbours.
