The port of Antignano is a small Tuscan port, located in the Livorno neighborhood of the same name in the southern part of the city.
Also known as“Moletto di Antignano,”the small marina is sheltered by two quays—with a total length of 150 meters—and can accommodate up to 240 boats. It should be noted that the marina’s capacity can vary from 160 to 240 berths depending on the size of the vessels present.
In any case, the maximum length allowed for entry into the marina is 12 meters.
There are no piers, so mooring is only possible at buoys, and the shallow, rocky waters of the harbor mean that only small boats can access it.
Storm surges—even violent ones—are not uncommon in the area during the winter months. In such cases, it is necessary to reinforce the moorings of boats inside the port.
Mooring and other activities within the port area are managed independently by three different organizations: the Antignano Sailing Club, the Antignano Sailing Society, and the Antignano Fishing Club. In addition to providing mooring and recreational boating services, the three clubs also offer fishing and sailing courses.
Within the marina, among the many services offered, you can take advantage of storage for boats with a draft of no more than one meter, as well as repairs on wooden and fiberglass hulls. In addition, there is also a parking area for cars.
Setting sail from the port of Antignano, you can easily reach the marinas of Versilia and the marina in Follonica.
From the jetty at Antignano you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city, the surrounding hills and the Boccale Castle, a building of Medici origin.
In the immediate vicinity of the landing, you can find a wide selection of bars, restaurants and grocery stores.
Nearby bathing establishments often have equipment such as sunbeds, deckchairs and umbrellas that can be rented.
By taking one of the buses that stop near the port, in less than half an hour you can reach the city center for a visit to the Fortresses (the New and the Old), the Piazza della Repubblica and the adjoining Medici-era Fosso Reale, and Livorno’s many other points of historical interest.
From the Antignano district, in about 15 minutes by bus, you can also easily reach the Livorno Aquarium, a destination suitable for a family outing.
Both the main port (departure point for routes to Bastia, Olbia, and Barcelona) and the Livorno train station are easily accessible from the city center: in only a quarter of an hour by train it is possible to reach Pisa, while Lucca and Florence are about an hour away.
Trekking and hiking enthusiasts who are in the Livorno area can devote themselves to discovering the nature trails of the Livorno Mountains Park and the Calafuria Nature Reserve.
