The Darsena Mosella in Chioggia is an excellent starting point for exploring the beauty of the Veneto Lagoon. Consisting of five floating docks arranged perpendicular to one another and benefiting from its proximity to theharbor mouth ,the marina allows boaters to easily and quickly reach the open sea with their vessels. Keep in mind that the seabed is muddy and sandy and has shoals in some areas.
Among the services offered by Darsena Mosella are: boat mooring, storage with boat repairs, cranes for launching, hauling out, washing, mast installation, and engine removal and installation.
Additional port services at the dock:
- food supply 100 m from the dock
- car parking
How to get there by land: Coming from the Strada Statale Romea (S.S. 309), take the exit for Chioggia. Keep right at the fork, entering Sottomarina, and continue straight onto Viale Mediterraneo. Drive the entire length of the Adriatic Seafront and then turn right onto Viale San Marco. Once you reach the roundabout (about 200 m away), you’ll arrive at the dock, located on the left side of the roundabout.
Directions from the sea: From the Chioggia outer harbor, turn left around the San Felice Fort, sail alongside the fort through the channel in front of it (with mooring buoys on the starboard side), and proceed at a slow speed, staying within the marked channel to avoid the mud and sand shoals.
Useful information for tourists: Chioggia’s coastline offers scenic beauty combined with an urban character still waiting to be discovered. For convenience, the destination is divided into three distinct areas: Chioggia; Sottomarina Lido and the coastline; and Isolaverde and the surrounding area. Note: During the third week of June, Chioggia takes on a medieval atmosphere with historical parades and competitions among the ancient districts, thanks to the Palio della Marciliana, while in July, the Sagra del Pesce (Fish Festival) attracts countless tourists to celebrate the flavors of the sea and the lagoon. Another local product worth mentioning is Chioggia IGP radicchio, which can be used to prepare a variety of culinary dishes.
From Chioggia, Sottomarina Lido, and Isolaverde, you can reach renowned tourist destinations and scenic spots in the Veneto region in about 1 hour: Venice and its lagoon, the Brenta Riviera, Padua, and the Euganean Hills to the west.
