The Adriatic coast of Italy is less cruised than other parts of the country, few yachts tackling the 500 miles plus from [[Santa Maria de Leuca]] round to [[Trieste]]. Of those which do, many choose to cross the Adriatic from [[Bari]] or [[Trani]] to [[Croatia]], thus missing out on an attractive cruising ground that has seen considerable yachting development in recent years. Leaving the marina of [[Santa Maria de Leuca]] at the ‘gateway’ to the Adriatic, a yacht cruising north passes the harbours of [[Otranto]], [[Brindisi]], [[Mola di Bari]], [[Bari]], [[Trani]], and [[Vieste]], before arriving at the ‘spur’ of Italy. The coast from there northwards to Venice contains numerous small harbours, many of them canal ports, as well as the major harbours of [[Ancona]], [[Ravenna]], [[Venice]] and [[Trieste]]. As a yacht cruises further north, harbours become shallower and tides become more significant. Indeed, many harbours in the Northern Adriatic are only accessible in settled weather and close to high water. Having said that, the coast here is well supplied with harbours and marinas. For details of harbours, see below. | The Adriatic coast of Italy is less cruised than other parts of the country, few yachts tackling the 500 miles plus from [[Santa Maria de Leuca]] round to [[Trieste]].

Adriatic Coast Cruising Guide
An online cruising guide for yachts sailing around the Adriatic Coast or Adriatic Sea in Italy.
The Adriatic coast of Italy is less cruised than other parts of the country, few yachts tackling the 500 miles plus from Santa Maria de Leuca round to Trieste. Of those which do, many choose to cross the Adriatic from Bari or Trani to Croatia, thus missing out on an attractive cruising ground that has seen considerable yachting development in recent years. Leaving the marina of Santa Maria de Leuca at the ‘gateway’ to the Adriatic, a yacht cruising north passes the harbours of Otranto, Brindisi, Mola di Bari, Bari, Trani, and Vieste, before arriving at the ‘spur’ of Italy. The coast from there northwards to Venice contains numerous small harbours, many of them canal ports, as well as the major harbours of Ancona, Ravenna, Venice and Trieste. As a yacht cruises further north, harbours become shallower and tides become more significant. Indeed, many harbours in the Northern Adriatic are only accessible in settled weather and close to high water. Having said that, the coast here is well supplied with harbours and marinas. For details of harbours, see below.
