Marina Yachting is located in the heart of Syracuse, on Sicily’s southern Ionian coast, and extends into the Porto Grande, near the canal that separates Ortigia from the rest of the city.

Located right in the city center, the marina is a private dock consisting of floating piers equipped with mooring facilities and services.
The marina has a mooring capacity of 180 boats and a draft ranging from 6.00 to 15.00 meters.
Exposed mainly to the Grecale and Scirocco winds, Marina Yachting features an average water depth of 5 meters; the seabed is muddy and prone to silting up due to sediment carried by the Anapo River, which is famous for the papyrus that grows wild along its banks.

Marina Yachting is a safe landing place for vessels, and the only dangerous area may be a shoal, called “Secca Galera,” located south of the entrance alignment.
The seaport provides boaters with various services such as: running water, electricity, wi-fi internet connection, surveillance, internal cleaning, weather, with the possibility of renting boats and vehicles.

The Marina Yachting marina is a strategic location and an important focal point for all those who want to discover the charms of Syracuse, as it allows them to get to the city’s historic center, Ortigia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is rich in archaeological, monumental, and artistic interest, within minutes.

The sea plays a vital role in the Syracuse area, as it has always shaped its identity and character. The Porto Grande harbor, where Marina Yachting is located, is considered one of the oldest existing ports; still in use today, it stands as a precious testament to history and the conflicts that have taken place over the centuries.

Also important and of ever-increasing interest is what is referred to in sailing as “the oldest Mediterranean regatta” that is, the Syracuse-Malta International Regatta, organized by the Italian Naval League, Syracuse section, and the Royal Malta Yacht Club, which each year sees about 100 yachts competing divided into different classes (race, cruise and classic).
From the Aretusean port of Marina Yachting, comfortably on foot or by bicycle, you can set off into history and you will be confronted with the magnificence of one of the greatest cities in the Greek world, which with its narrow alleys, its Maniace Castle, the Cathedral, the Temple of Apollo, and the Arethusa Spring, will intoxicate your senses by making you part of a legendary past.
Marina Yachting in Syracuse is the ideal marina for your boats and stays where the gods still dare.
