A boat landing and port facility for the municipality of Maratea, located on the western slopes of Mount San Biagio, the Maratea marina includes two large piers, bent at an acute angle toward the coast.
The name “Porto” has been used in Maratea since at least the 28th century, a period when there was no port facility, but only a landing place—which, moreover, was unsafe for any boat during the winter season. In 1962, the first phase of construction for the modern port was completed. In 1987, it sustained severe damage due to a tsunami.
The first Italian port to be led by a woman, it is now a renowned tourist destination in the Gulf of Policastro. A point of arrival and departure for numerous boats, it is, in any case, a must-visit destination for anyone who loves to experience the sea to the fullest. The Maratea marina was created specifically to transform what is usually just a simple boat parking area into a sort of exclusive “port-park” in terms of comfort and relaxation. Just take a look around the bay to see how architecture and landscape blend in perfect harmony. It offers a new way to experience the sea for those who love its scent and colors, without sacrificing the pleasure of feeling truly at home.
Beyond its boats, in recent years the port of Maratea has gradually become a major tourist attraction, thanks above all to its scenic location and the charm of its visitors. Bars and restaurants liven up the evenings, helping to make it the most elegant and popular nightlife destination in the entire Gulf of Policastro.
The original design of the port called for a single large pier (the northern one) and another very small one that separated the port area from a beach resort. In the 1970s, it was expanded with a new pier that completely enclosed the beach and increased the capacity for the current boat docking area.
