Ports of Campania in the Gulf of Naples
The Marina di Stabia port was born in the center of the Gulf of Naples between Torre Annunziata and Castellammare di Stabia at the same distance from the islands of Capri Ischia and Procida.
The marina is divided into two areas, divided by a strip of land, which separates on one side the technical area enclosing a dockyard with two slipways, a slipway, an area for shipbuilding, and boat storage, and on the other side the marina proper with depths ranging from 4 to 9 meters.
The port has 900 berths against a backdrop of rare beauty with Vesuvius and Mount Faito surrounding the Marina.
Its location and mild climate allow you to enjoy the charm of the sea, even in winter. With its proximity to enchanting destinations such as Capri, Amalfi, Positano, and Sorrento, easy access to the Pontine and Aeolian Islands, and high-quality services, it makes mooring a pleasure even for the most discerning boaters.
Marina di Stabia, in addition to the allure of the sea, gives the opportunity to travel in a short time to the famous archaeological areas of Pompeii Castellamare di Stabia and Herculaneum, or to enjoy the wonderful spectacle of the Gulf of Naples from the peaks of Mount Vesuvius or Mount Faito, which can be reached in a few minutes by funicular.
The Marina also features a yachting club with a restaurant overlooking the sea, bar, swimming pool, and a meeting point for leisure time.
In the restaurant you can taste typical local products and Campanian cuisine, especially lemons, Sorrento limoncello, paccheri from Gragnano, and the violet artichoke from Castellamare di Stabia.
In addition, there is a new, well-equipped shipyard with two slipways capable of handling vessels even longer than 40 meters, as well as a 220-metric-ton travel lift, all designed to meet the needs of customers. All of this is thanks to the skill and professionalism of the Aprea brothers of Sorrento.
Fratelli Aprea Srl is a company founded in 1890 by a family that continues to this day to uphold the tradition and quality of master carpenters. Today, the Aprea brothers oversee the technical direction of the company, drawing on a family tradition passed down by their father Franco and their uncles, and before them by their grandfather Cataldo and his brothers, their great-grandfather Giovanni, and—more than a century ago—by their great-great-grandfather Cataldo, the family’s first master shipwright, who laid down the guidelines for creating a symbol of craftsmanship and charm: the Sorrento gozzo.
The Boatyard was built in 2007 and covers an area of 60,000 square meters including 9,000 square meters of covered area and 51,000 square meters of maneuvering and parking yards; it provides a dock equipped with moorings and services for boats up to 50 meters
The shipyard’s success depends on comprehensive support, the quality of its work, and the helpfulness and expertise of its staff. Bruce King, an American designer, designed the refit of the sail yacht Alejandra, a 41.37-meter (135’7”) ketch built of aluminum and wood, with a draft of 4 meters, and fitted out in Spain by the Mefasa Shipyard. It was subsequently built at the Marina di Stabia shipyard.
Using a 220-metric-ton travel lift and a 50-metric-ton travel lift, boats are hauled out in two dry docks with a depth of 5 meters. Specialized personnel use a 60-metric-ton flatbed truck to move the boats.
