Marina San Rocco

Marina San Rocco is a marina and is conveniently located for cruises along the coast of neighboring Croatia. The port is flanked by a pedestrian tourist-residential complex designed by architect Luigi Vietti.

Landmarks for arrival are the third breakwater protecting the port of Trieste and the promontory of Punta Sottile, which mark the entrance to the bay of Muggia. At the entrance looking towards the bow one can see the entire city of Trieste all the way to Miramare Castle. The Marina is located on the right side of the bay and is marked by a red and a green light and is easily recognized by the ochre coloring of the piers. With a good depth of the seabed it can accommodate a total of 546 boats from 8 to 60 meters on floating docks with fingers and on fixed docks with traps. There are also 46 berths available for maxi yachts from 20 to 60 meters..

The not very wide east-facing mouth of the port leads into a large forebay where yachts of good tonnage can find berths on the quay. The stretch of water and the two large breakwaters can accommodate boats in transit up to 35 m. The bottom is about 7 m. Berths are on floating docks, and each berth is equipped with a drinking water and electricity supply column. The port offers showers, toilets, parking spaces, fuel station, wi-fi internet connection, and 24-hour surveillance and mooring assistance.
The Marina cooperates with the nearby boatyard equipped with an engine workshop and capable of electromechanical repairs, repairs of wooden and fiberglass hulls. Among the yard’s facilities: a 160-ton travel lift, 35,000 sq. m. of uncovered storage areas, and 4,000 sq. m. of sheds.

Muggia is located in the extreme southeastern part of the province of Trieste, between the border of Slovenia and the Gulf of Trieste. Surrounded by medieval walls and dominated by the 14th-century Castle, it offers visitors a view of the Venetian Gothic-style cathedral along with other fine churches, including the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta of Romanesque origin. Very visible is the past Venetian rule in the town with its calli and Piazza Marconi, much like a campiello. Worth visiting are the Town Hall and the historic center, which flows into the ancient Mandracchio. Of note is the Muggesano Carnival with its floats and elegant costumes.

The Gulf of Muggia is made up of small inlets, sandy beaches and rocky stretches covered with oleander and broom spread over 7 km of coastline. The beaches are equipped with bathing establishments, bars, stores, boat rentals and diving assistance.

Several influences can be seen in the local cuisine. Typical dishes of Venetian origin are the cod, the brodetto and i sardines. Instead, they are influenced by the ancient Austrian domination dishes as the calandracca, luganighe and capuzi, the jota and the bread dumplings. C evapcici, rasnici e presnitz are instead examples of Slovenian tradition. Among the local productions the extra virgin olive oil and wine Malvasia.
