Arona Dock – Landing on Lake Maggiore for small boats
Protected by a natural rock breakwater and featuring sloped concrete embankments that serve as a slipway, the Arona Marina is a safe harbor where boats can dock; it has a capacity of approximately 200 berths for small vessels (6–7 meters max.). The infrastructure, better known as “Il Porto,” was originally part of the third phase of construction work for the lakeside moorings.
On the outskirts of Arona, towards the end of the 1960s, the old port was built, always used for storing the boats of those who like to sail on Lake Maggiore.
During night hours, the entrance to the landing is marked by a red light.
Access to the port is difficult. The dock is in an obvious state of disrepair and neglect.
On Arona’s lakefront there are trappe for 50 to 60 berths where English mooring is also possible.
The city of Arona is a tourist-tertiary center on the shores of Lake Maggiore.
