Marina del Nettuno

Neptune’s Marina: a safe port in Sicily

In the outer part of the ports of Messina is Marina del Nettuno, which is protected by a floating concrete breakwater, a breakwater with a NNE direction, and a smaller sub-billow pier oriented mean to SSE. These barriers block the often very intense winds that hit the Strait of Messina.

How to enter the ports

To access the marina, boaters must call VHF channel 09 and wait for a service vehicle to arrive. A speed of 3 knots cannot be exceeded.

Moorings are made with floating aluminum pontoons, while docking is facilitated by fingers and there is no need to bottom the anchor or take the line from dead bodies. There is also 24-hour guaranteed mooring assistance for those who wish.

Services

The cost for ordinary services are included in the mooring fee, while additional services are charged separately and are:

• Drinking water supply;
• Electricity supply;
• Bilge water and oily sludge withdrawal;
• Removal of spent batteries and filters;
• Deck equipment maintenance and mooring replacement;
• Periodic ventilation interior, engine compartment, lockers;
• Hot water pressure washing;
• Underwater checks hull, appendages, propellers, and axles.
