Porto di Antignano

The port of Antignano is a small Tuscan port, located in the Livorno neighborhood of the same name in the southern part of the city.

Also known as “Moletto di Antignano,” the marina is protected two docked piers -for a total length of 150 meters- and can offer accommodation to a maximum of 240 vessels. It should be mentioned that the capacity of the landing can vary from 160 to 240 places depending on the size of the vessels present.
In any case, the maximum length allowed to enter the moletto is 12 meters.

There are no jetties, so mooring can only be done at the buoy, and the shallow rocky bottoms of the harbor make access possible only for small boats.
Swells -even violent ones- during winter periods are not uncommon in the area. In such cases, steps must be taken to reinforce the moorings of boats within the ports.

Moorings and activities within the port area are independently managed by three different organizations: the Antignano Sailing Club, the Antignano Sailing Society, and the Antignano Fishing Club. The three clubs, in addition to providing mooring and boating services, also offer fishing and sailing courses.

Within the harbor, among the many services offered, it is possible to take advantage of storage for boats whose draft does not exceed one meter and repairs on wooden and fiberglass hulls. In addition, a space used for parking cars can also be found.
Sailing from the port of Antignano , it is possible to reach the ports of Versilia and the marina of Follonica easily.

From the jetty at Antignano you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city, the surrounding hills and the Boccale Castle, a building of Medici origin.
In the immediate vicinity of the landing, you can find a wide selection of bars, restaurants and grocery stores.
Nearby bathing establishments often have equipment such as sunbeds, deckchairs and umbrellas that can be rented.

By taking one of the buses that stop near the port, in less than half an hour you can reach the city center for a visit to the Fortresses (the New and the Old), the Piazza della Repubblica and the adjoining Medici-era Fosso Reale, and Livorno’s many other points of historical interest.
From the Antignano district, in about 15 minutes by bus, you can also easily reach the Livorno Aquarium, a destination suitable for a family outing.

Both the main port (departure point for routes to Bastia, Olbia, and Barcelona) and the Livorno train station are easily accessible from the city center: in only a quarter of an hour by train it is possible to reach Pisa, while Lucca and Florence are about an hour away.

Trekking and hiking enthusiasts who are in the Livorno area can devote themselves to discovering the nature trails of the Livorno Mountains Park and the Calafuria Nature Reserve.
