Marina di Portorosa is Sicily’s largest marina and one of the most exclusive in the Mediterranean. It was built in 1992 at the behest of its founder, Salvatore Foti, an enterprising businessman, lover of the sea, and nautical professional.
The port is located on the northern coast, in the Gulf of Patti, between Cape Tindari and Cape Milazzo, across from the Aeolian Islands. It consists of an outer harbor, protected by a breakwater and a jetty, and several inner docks with quays created by dredging.
The marina offers 700 berths along 400 meters of dock. From here, you can set sail for the Aeolian Islands and admire the beauty of the landscape.
It has been a blue flag since 1993.

Hazards: Entering the harbor can be difficult when there are winds and rough seas from the northwest. For those approaching from the west (Cape Tindari), if they sail too close to the coast, the harbor entrance lights may appear upside down. It is necessary to sail further offshore to see them in their correct position and thus enter the harbor safely.
