VENTIMIGLIA – A new aggregation of companies active in the yachting sector has announced the opening of a shared office inside Cala del Forte, the Ventimiglia marina belonging to the Ports of Monaco group alongside Port Hercule and Port de Fontvieille. The facility is located approximately thirty minutes from the Principality of Monaco and is directly integrated into the port infrastructure. The initiative stems from the collaboration between DOC Yacht Services, A4 Yachts, Worldmarine Collection and Riviera Luxury, with the aim of creating an operational reference point dedicated to yachts, superyachts, owners and crews along the Italian and French Rivieras. According to the companies involved, the new office will improve response times for clients, ensure a constant regional presence and support the development of a professional network dedicated to the premium yachting sector.

DOC Yacht Services will mainly focus on operational vessel support, including administrative procedures, shipping agency services, crew visa assistance, provisioning, technical maintenance and the management of all formalities required in Liguria and throughout Italy.

A4 Yachts will instead provide brokerage activities, support for yacht sales and acquisitions, consultancy for new build projects, as well as services related to insurance, flag registration and crew uniform supply. Alexander Afonkin, co-owner of A4 Yachts, highlights his thirty years of experience as a yacht captain, expertise he now applies to yacht purchase, sale and construction consultancy.

Among the project partners is also Worldmarine Collection, a company specialized in custom supplies for yachts, villas and private jets, with a range including fabrics, linens, silverware, leather products and teak accessories made in Italy.

Riviera Luxury, a brand owned by Skorpion S.r.l., operates in yacht sales and charter activities between Liguria, the French Riviera and the Principality of Monaco, while also extending its activities into the supercar sector and services dedicated to high-end automotive clients.

Special guest at the inauguration will be Fabrizio Massa, Sales Manager of The Italian Sea Group.

According to the project promoters, the opening of the new hub will also contribute to the tourism and economic development of the area, supporting the growing demand for professional services in the premium yachting sector and creating a new meeting point for owners, captains, brokers and industry operators.
