Marina Yachting is located in the heart of Syracuse, on the southern Ionian coast of Sicily, and extends within the Porto Grande, near the canal that separates Ortigia from the rest of the area.

Located right in the urban center, the marina is a private landing place consisting of floating docks, equipped with anchoring facilities and services.
The marina has a mooring capacity of 180 boats and a draught ranging from 6.00 to 15.00 meters.
Exposed mainly to Grecale and Sirocco, Marina Yachting is characterized by an average seabed of 5 meters, muddy and subject to silting, as it is made up of the inputs of the Anapo River, famous for the papyrus that grows wild along its banks.

Marina Yachting is a safe landing place for vessels, and the only dangerous area may be a shoal, called “Secca Galera,” located south of the entrance alignment.
The seaport provides boaters with various services such as: running water, electricity, wi-fi internet connection, surveillance, internal cleaning, weather, with the possibility of renting boats and vehicles.

The Marina Yachting marina is a strategic location and an important focal point for all those who want to discover the charms of Syracuse, as it allows them to get to the city’s historic center, Ortigia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is rich in archaeological, monumental, and artistic interest, within minutes.

The sea is an important reality for the Syracuse area as it has always characterized its personality and character. The port of Porto Grande, where Marina Yachting is located, is considered among the oldest existing seaports and, still active, is a valuable witness to the history and clashes that have occurred over the centuries.

Also important and of ever-increasing interest is what is referred to in sailing as “the oldest Mediterranean regatta” that is, the Syracuse-Malta International Regatta, organized by the Italian Naval League, Syracuse section, and the Royal Malta Yacht Club, which each year sees about 100 yachts competing divided into different classes (race, cruise and classic).
From the Aretusean port of Marina Yachting, comfortably on foot or by bicycle, you can set off into history and you will be confronted with the magnificence of one of the greatest cities in the Greek world, which with its narrow alleys, its Maniace Castle, the Cathedral, the Temple of Apollo, and the Arethusa Spring, will intoxicate your senses by making you part of a legendary past.
Marina Yachting in Syracuse is the ideal marina for your boats and stays where the gods still dare.
