The Hill Robinson Group announces the opening of its new office in Porto Mirabello, La Spezia, Italy. Located in the Gulf of La Spezia, the office will be a regional information point for the full spectrum of services offered by Hill Robinson as well as the company’s brokerage arm, Moravia Yachting. The new Porto Mirabello office will replace the company’s former premises in Porto Lotti and will be headed by Pino Di Mora, Senior Project Manager and General Manager Italy.  

The Hill Robinson Group has had a presence in La Spezia since 2019, recognising the need to meet growing client demand in the region. Located in the heart of Italy’s yacht building and refit hub, and in close proximity to major Italian shipyards, suppliers and contractors, La Spezia is an important centre for the superyacht industry in Italy. 

Pino Di Mora has overseen the Italian operations of Hill Robinson since 2019, and is looking forward to the strategic advantages Porto Mirabello has to offer. “The move to Porto Mirabello will further strengthen our visibility in the region. Thanks to the port’s strategic location and modern infrastructure, we are now even better positioned to promote the services offered by Hill Robinson and Moravia Yachting to local and international clients, including project management for refits and new construction, surveys, and crew placement,” he explains. 

Alessandro Menozzi, founder and owner of Porto Mirabello, adds: “I am proud and honoured to host such a prestigious company like Hill Robinson here in Porto Mirabello. La Spezia has become increasingly important for the yachting industry. We currently have more than 40 per cent international clients and I firmly believe that accommodating a well-recognised company like Hill Robinson will be an added value for us. Customized support and dedicated facilities are the core of our business, and this important partnership with Hill Robinson allows us to improve our top-level services even more.” 

Porto Mirabello has been built to host the largest superyachts and offers customers maximum comfort. The Marina, an artificial peninsula built entirely on the sea, is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and offers 407 berths, 100 of which are for superyachts up to 140m (459 ft).
