The Marina Uno marina is located in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Riviera resort, on the mouth of the Tagliamento River. The port was established in 1960 just 400 meters from the beautiful and picturesque mouth of the Tagliamento River. The ingenious idea was by Pier Paolo Dalmas, world inboard-running champion in 1972, who on the land of SIL spa, Società Imprese Lignano, had the project realized in a short time. The marina was equipped with about 180 berths of different sizes with service, crane and fuel. In 1980 the dock was sold to a group of entrepreneurs, and only two years later work began on expanding the dock to over 400 berths.

The marina modernized with floating docks, mooring services, and state-of-the-art technical facilities; as well as restrooms, hot-water showers, offices for port management, and parking lots. In the summer of 1983 the Marina Uno dock was inaugurated, which took on its present appearance: at the inauguration the aerobatic aviation patrol “Frecce Tricolori” honored spectators with spectacular passes over the marina.

In subsequent years within the marina, Hotel Marina Uno, the marina pool, two new residential and commercial complexes, and the new storage shed with the placement of two new towage cranes were built. Some of the Marina Uno dock maintenance programs carried out in recent years have involved reducing the number of berths to accommodate the increased width of boats, replacing wooden poles with galvanized steel poles, expanding the number of bathrooms and toilets available to boaters, and bringing all facilities up to new safety regulations and waste separation.

Marina Uno is a founding member of the“Marine Lignano Consortium,” which brings together the docks of the Friuli tourist area and is based at the A.P.T. of Lignano Sabbiadoro. Since its establishment in 1990, the dockyard has received the prestigious“European Blue Flag” award from the European Community every year, awarded on the basis of the range and quality of services rendered to boaters.

In 1997, Marina Uno s.r.l. was incorporated by Lignano Pineta s.p.a., maintaining managerial and organizational autonomy. The consociative attitude of this marina was further confirmed in 1998, the year in which the Marina Uno dock became a member of the“Adriatic Tourist Ports Association,” an association that brings together more than 30 docks from Friuli Venezia Giulia to Puglia. In 2001 the Lignano section of the Italian Naval League was also born in Marina Uno.
