Portofino is one of the most photographed harbours in the world, a tiny crescent of pastel houses and yachts tucked into a natural inlet on the Ligurian coast, while Genoa, less than an hour away, is a genuine working maritime capital with a large marina, an international airport and one of Europe's most respected superyacht refit industries. Anyone searching for catamaranes de potencia de lujo en venta Portofino or the wider Genoa area is really choosing between two very different but complementary bases on the same stretch of Italian coast.
What buyers at either marina get is the same structure as everywhere else in the agency's territory: one agent, European Yacht Brokers, rather than a separate local dealer. The agent meets the buyer dockside, and the same agency handles delivery, mooring and maintenance once a sale closes.
The OceanWalker S60 suits this coast well: four en-suite cabins plus crew quarters, a flybridge over 500 square feet for taking in Portofino's famous Piazzetta or Genoa's historic Porto Antico waterfront, and an optional 22-panel solar array that keeps house systems running quietly at berth without the generator cycling all night.
Many owners researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino and Genoa choose to base the boat at the larger, more practical Genoa marina and simply cruise the short distance to Portofino for a weekend, rather than trying to secure one of Portofino's few, tightly held berths as a permanent home port.
The wider Ligurian coast between the two also takes in Santa Margherita Ligure and Rapallo, both a short cruise from Portofino and popular for provisioning or a quieter overnight stop away from the crowds, giving an owner based on this coast a genuine variety of harbours within a single afternoon's run.

Marina di Portofino wraps in a crescent moon around a small, sheltered pool at the centre of the village, directly beside the Piazzetta that has made Portofino one of the most recognisable names in Mediterranean yachting. Space is extremely limited, and buyers researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino should expect berths to be scarce and tightly held, particularly through the summer season; many owners treat Portofino as a destination for a few days at a time rather than a permanent base, cruising in from Genoa or elsewhere along the Ligurian coast. The village itself, with its harbourside cafes, boutiques and the small Castello Brown overlooking the bay, remains one of the defining images of Italian coastal glamour, and a berth here, even for a few nights, is part of the appeal for many buyers researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino.

Marina Porto Antico sits in the heart of Genoa's redeveloped historic waterfront, alongside the city's aquarium and museums, and offers considerably more capacity and easier availability than Portofino. For a buyer researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino and Genoa who wants year-round convenience, a proper city marina, and easy road and air access, Genoa is generally the more practical home port, with Portofino kept as a short cruise away for special occasions. Genoa's scale as Italy's largest port city means provisioning, crew logistics and specialist marine trades are all readily available around Marina Porto Antico, which is a real practical advantage for an owner researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino and Genoa who wants a genuine year-round base rather than a purely seasonal berth.
The OceanWalker S60 has a beam of 20 feet and a shallow draft well within the limits of both Marina di Portofino and Marina Porto Antico, though the two marinas could not be more different in practice: Portofino's berths are few and highly sought after, while Genoa's larger marina offers considerably more availability and flexibility for a boat that will be used regularly. Buyers researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino should raise a Portofino berth with the agency as early as possible if that specific address matters to them, while a Genoa-based berth is generally straightforward to arrange with reasonable notice.
Multihulls in the S60's size class hold their value well on this coast, since demand for a stable, comfortable cruising boat capable of covering the short hop between Genoa and Portofino, or further along toward the Cinque Terre, outstrips the number of comparable catamarans on the market each season. European Yacht Brokers can walk a buyer through ownership costs and the resale outlook for the S60 specifically as part of the same conversation that covers the initial purchase, which matters here given how much berth availability differs between the two marinas covered by this page.
The Ligurian coast around Portofino and Genoa shares the wider Mediterranean's warm, dry summers and mild winters, with the practical cruising season running from May through September or October. July and August are the busiest months, particularly in Portofino's tiny harbour, while June and September offer excellent weather with noticeably calmer conditions for buyers researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino who prefer to avoid the peak crowds. The coastline here is more sheltered than the open Ligurian Sea further out, though sudden squalls can build quickly in the Gulf of Genoa, and local knowledge or a delivery skipper is valuable for a first season on this stretch. Buyers researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino for the first time are generally advised to plan a shakedown cruise along the coast before a longer passage further south toward the Cinque Terre or Tuscany.

Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport sits close to the city and the Porto Antico marina, making it the natural gateway for buyers researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino and Genoa alike. From Genoa Airport, Portofino is around 40 to 45 kilometres away, roughly 40 to 50 minutes by car along the coastal road, while the Genoa marina itself is only a short taxi ride from the terminal. Milan's international airports are a further option for buyers connecting from further afield, with a road transfer of around two hours down to the Ligurian coast.
There is also a rail line connecting Genoa to Santa Margherita Ligure, a short taxi or boat ride from Portofino itself, which many visitors use as a scenic alternative to driving the narrow coastal road in peak season.
Genoa is one of the most respected superyacht refit centres in the Mediterranean. Amico & Co, based in Genoa, manages complex refit, repair and maintenance projects for yachts from 30 to 140 metres, with more than 4,500 square metres of covered workshop space and a waterfront marina of its own offering moorings for yachts up to 120 metres. Buyers researching luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino and Genoa who want serious maintenance or refit work handled close to the boat's home berth can arrange this through European Yacht Brokers, which coordinates directly with Genoa's established yards.
Portofino itself has no comparable refit infrastructure, given its small scale, so any significant work is naturally routed to Genoa, less than an hour away by road.
An agent from European Yacht Brokers meets the buyer dockside at either Marina di Portofino or Marina Porto Antico, walks the boat, and arranges a private viewing along the coast if wanted. Once a sale is agreed, the agency handles registration, VAT status and insurance introductions directly, then arranges delivery to Portofino or Genoa, a mooring if needed, and ongoing maintenance if wanted. Financing and ownership paperwork follow the same pattern as everywhere else in the agency's territory: European Yacht Brokers can introduce financing options and coordinate with the relevant bank or broker where needed, and the agency prepares registration and VAT documentation before delivery so a new owner is not waiting on paperwork once the boat reaches Italy. This same process applies to every enquiry about luxury power catamarans for sale Portofino and Genoa, regardless of which marina the buyer ultimately chooses as a home port.
