After a busy charter summer, M/Y Newvida docked at Imperia to prepare for the Monaco Yacht Show. So did several other yachts. And more will head there when the show is over.
The new marina in the old town just east of Monaco has even the most seasoned yachtie gushing.
“I love Imperia,” said Capt. Mark Elliott, a broker with International Yacht Collection. “It’s got great big slips, easy access. It’s got a big exit ramp off the motorway, it’s easy to get into and easy to drive around. I just love it.”
Imperia is actually two towns that have merged around the river that gives it its name, Oneglia and Porto Maurizio. Likewise, there are two marinas: an older, more commercial port in Oneglia,
and the newer, more recreational side of Porto Maurizio, according to several captains familiar with the area.
Capt. Don Anderson of M/Y Newvida, now anchored off the show, just spent a month on the newer side.
“It’s got nice wide promenades, and everyone is very friendly,” he said.
The only downside, a few captains said, is that the nearest commercial airport is Genoa or Nice. A private jet port is about 20 minutes away.
Porto Mauricio is still being built, but part of it is open. And it’s not congested.
“It’s going to give San Remo a run for it’s money once the town is up and running,” said Capt. Ian of M/Y Element.

Full-time, seasoned crew show yachtsWith the way the economy has been
of late, we were curious to learn if crew in the Monaco Yacht Show were really working or just there for show. At last year’s Ft. Lauderdale show, it seemed most vessels had just skeleton crew, with dayworkers filling in for the show. In Monaco, things are very different. And after yesterday’s survey, which showed that more than 90 percent of yachts have been in use this summer, it comes as no surprise that this show’s crew are the real deal. – Lucy Reed
Who is onboard?
Full-time crew – 93.8%
Temporary crew – 6.2%
