The Palermo marina
Marina di Villa Igiea is located in the Acquasanta area and is Palermo’s marina dedicated exclusively to recreational boating. It is situated north of the industrial port and is protected by two breakwaters: a windward breakwater to the north and an outer breakwater to the east. Within Marina di Villa Igiea, there are several fixed concrete piers and floating docks that provide mooring facilities.
The marina has sandy seabeds with depths ranging from 2 to 10 meters and offers 400 berths on fixed and floating docks for boats up to 65 meters in length. Thanks to its favorable location, boaters can enjoy a wide variety of tourist itineraries for both mountain hikes and sea excursions, such as Isola delle Femmine in the Capo Gallo marine area or the island of Ustica.
Marina di Villa Igiea is just minutes from the center of the city of Palermo and half an hour from Falcone and Borsellino International Airport.
The port offers excellent dock services, efficient assistance for boats, and hospitality onshore. Boats can either be moored in the marina or simply passing through. All the piers are well-maintained and equipped with water and electricity outlets, along with a variety of services necessary for long-term residents and passing tourists.
The entrance to Marina di Villa Igiea is continuous and offers 24-hour mooring assistance and supervision.
