  "account": "In Italy, there are 172,000 boat moorings, but only 2% of them are dedicated to superyachts, which are vessels longer than 24 meters. Liguria and Tuscany account for about half of the capacity dedicated to superyachts. This situation can certainly be improved, as the superyacht segment is driving the growth of the Italian nautical industry. Italy's global fleet of superyachts has reached around 10,900 units, with a yearly growth rate of 4.1% since 2018. Of these, about 2,200 have sailed along Italy's coasts, with 93% flying the foreign flag. Out of the 172,000 boat moorings, 1,200 are seasonal yachts that spend an average of 23 days in Italy, while 960 stationary superyachts spend 193 days in Italy (with Liguria being the main hub for these). The study also reveals that the Liguria region is the principal destination for stationary superyachts, followed by the Gulf of Olbia and the Costa Smeralda. The economic impact of yachting in Italy was 5.7 billion euros in 2025, with 3.6 billion euros coming from operational expenses and 2.1 billion euros from tourist consumption. Superyachts account for about 3% of Italy's active fleet but generate 42% of the direct economic impact. Zanetti emphasized that yachting generates value throughout the entire industry and confirms Italy's role as an international leader in high-end nautical tourism construction and tourism.",
