We now work 98% with foreign-flagged superyachts that arrive at Stabia Main Port and visit the city”. According to data provided by the maritime port, several hundred tourists are in fact arriving at the Bourbon port of Castellammare: from large yachts to boats from the historic dealers of the old port who boast over 700 berths.
And traders are organizing meetings to improve the tourist offering. ”Castellammare di Stabia is a shining example of how the yachting sector can generate economics – comments Ottavio Luise, young manager of the Luise Group – Each yacht produces from one to five work units; each ship brings to the territory a turnover of ten thousand euros or more.
