Superyacht Guide to Sanremo

Overview

This guide focuses on Portosole operating notes and verified emergency-source information. Berth size, VHF, services and yard details should always be confirmed before arrival.

Customs and immigration

Italy is in the Schengen area, but yacht, crew, guest, customs, VAT, charter and non-EU procedures should be verified through official Italian sources or an experienced yacht agent before arrival.

Crew notes

Sanremo may be useful for Italian Riviera positioning, nearby Monaco access and crew logistics. Transport, accommodation and contractor access should be verified locally.

Refit and repair
