Cruising Guide for Western Adriatic Coast
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 Otranto round to Po Delta and then Venice 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 Otranto at the ‘gateway’ to the Adriatic, a yacht cruising north passes the harbours of Brindisi, Mola di Bari, Bari, Trani, and Vieste, before arriving at the ‘spur’ of Italy. The coast from there northwards contains numerous small harbours, many of them canal ports, as well as the major harbours of Ancona and Ravenna.
The coast continues along the Po Delta which is a mini cruising ground all of its own, with several shallow harbours and anchorages in its sea channels, and then finishes at the mouth of river Adige.
Having said that, the coast here is well supplied with harbours and marinas. For details of harbours, see below.
