Porto di Golfo Aranci

The Port of Golfo Aranci contains something eccentric in its name. Perhaps it is the strange reference offered by the hidden synonym that brings back the scent of citrus fruits. Or perhaps it is the combination of ports and gulf, suggesting a kind of dual identity.

Certainly the place where this port facility stands confirms its capabilities, thanks to aesthetically delightful scenery and a maritime panorama that perfectly matches the geographical context. If you are in the direction of this landing place, it means that you are sailing on the sea north of Olbia, where the gulf rises as a famous passage point in the stretch of coastline.

In fact, its location makes it decidedly conducive to a traffic of boaters and vessels that pour millions of them to the port of call every year. This aptitude is mainly due to the presence of very deep seabed, which allows even large tonnage ships to dock.

The facility is therefore very functional and suitable for unloading goods. For speed and ease it is also often used for arrival, departure and unloading operations. The port has very large docks. For example, ships such as Sardinia Ferries’ Mega Express dock among the large tonnage ships. In order to ensure maximum service, the facility offers a well-stocked Maritime Station inside.

Precisely because of this identity that makes it reliable for very large ships that need access to the ports for sensitive operations, the structure specifies very strict rules when maneuvering. One example is the requirement to maintain a distance of at least 200 meters between vessels during the approach of commercial vessels.

In compliance with all the rules dictated by naval regulations, the Port of Golfo Aranci, has many piers that also allow many pleasure boats, small boats and fishing fleets to dock. All this without forgetting the mooring points, exclusively dedicated to the harbor master’s office.

Among its services, the port has an excellent quay lighting system, slipway, mobile and fixed crane, garbage pickup, telephone booth, and a dedicated engine repair shop. There is also no shortage of tourist offices and reception services.

The Port of Golfo Aranci thus constitutes an excellent point of reference and anchorage in the area’s surface. While offering a large number of services to the traffic of large ships, it does not forget its recreational function, providing boats from the area with all the useful services to meet the needs of more experienced sailors.
