Primarily a commercial and fishing port, a small marina, Marina di Arbatax, has been established on the S side of the harbour.

Approach and Navigation

The harbour is clearly identifiable from some distance in the approach from N by the rocky promontory on which it sits. In the approach from S the small airport at Tortoli immediately before the promontory is conspicuous. The harbour is on the N side of the promontory and is entered along the line of the longer, E breakwater to avoid the shallower water towards the beach. Depths in the entrance are 11.0 metres and up to 9.0 metres on the pontoons.

Berthing Options

There is only one berthing option, Marina di Arbatax, which occupies a series of pontoons at the S side of the harbour.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

Marina di Arbatax offers around 80 berths for yachts up to 30 metres and maximum draft of 9.0 metres. Berths are stern or bows-to on a series of pontoons and associated quays. Water at all berths, check that it is potable as some berths need a special water adapter from the office; some berths may not have electricity. Toilets. Travel lift (200T) and fixed crane (30T). Most repairs possible. Call marina on VHF Channel 9.

Anchorages

In S winds, it is possible to anchor off the beach NW of the harbour entrance in 5.0 - 5.8 metres. The holding is good in sand. Exposed from N-SE

In N winds, there is a good anchorage in sand in Porto Frailis, a small bay on the S side of the peninsula, half a mile due S of the harbour. Exposed from SE-SW
