Cavo is a small harbour situated on the east side of the peninsula of Capo Vita, some eight miles east of Portoferraio. The harbour is relatively shallow, with depths of only 2.5 metres in the approach and 2.0 - 3.0 metres inside. The harbour has a total of 130 berths on pontoons for yachts up to 12 metres. The berths are operated by the Circolo Nautico Cavo yacht club. A few berths are reserved for yachts in transit.

Local Weather
The harbour is sheltered from most directions, but strong NE winds can send in an uncomfortable swell.
Sources for Weather forecasts:
- There is a continuous (computerised voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation.
- The same forecast is given in Italian and English on VHF coastal stations following a notification on channel 16.
- Navtex weather forecasts are broadcast from stations at Roma, Cagliari (Sardinia) and Augusta (Sicily).
Cavo is about one mile south of the headland of Capo Vita. The village behind is easily identified on the approach from north. The harbour is entered from NNE between the two rough breakwaters to the west of the ferry berth.
