Summary
Boardwalk arrived at Naples' San Vincenzo pier after sailing about 806 nautical miles from Venice, ending the yacht's immediate standoff with protesters there.
The 117-meter vessel had drawn criticism in Venice over its size and a request to dock in front of St. Mark's Square during the Festa del Redentore.
Activists had discussed trying to block the yacht with small boats, while Guardia di Finanza and Port Authority vehicles were present during its arrival in Naples.
Owned by U.S. Ambassador to Italy Tilman Joseph Fertitta, Boardwalk was delivered by Lürssen this spring and measures 5,602 gross tons with an 18.55-meter beam.
