In order to become one among the most advanced marinas of the Mediterranean, the structure has been involved in a recent project of enlargement and modernisation in the total respect of the surrounding environment and the already existing facilities.  The project also envisages the creation of new hurban spaces able to lcreate a ore efficient link tbetween the harbour and the city, such as Hall of the Sea and a new Yacht Club, still under construction.

Finally, the marina has a well-equipped sandy beac, very appreciated by yachtsmen.

 History

The maritime tradition of Maurizio Harbour dates back to the Middle Ages, when the town was already an independent municipality living on the olive oil trade over the whole Mediterranean. Despite its independence, the town was always under the influence of the near Republic of Genoa, at least until the occupation by Napoleon's Army. After its annexation to the Kingdom of Italy, the port was jointed to Oneglia and other surrounding towns to form the present Imperia.
