| summary= The '''Laguna di Marano''' (Marano lagoon) lies at the northern end of the Adriatic sea between the harbors of [[Venice]] and [[Trieste]] in [[Italy]]. At its western end is the entrance channel and port of [[Lignano]] and at its eastern end the entrance and commercial harbour of Porto Buso. Unlike that of Venice, the lagoon is a largely unspoiled and peaceful sanctuary for a wide variety of migratory birds and rich in marine life. Traditional fishermen’s shelters, constructed of reeds, line the banks of its channels and large parts of its salt and freshwater marshes are a designated nature reserve. Although most of the lagoon is relatively shallow, yachts can navigate most of its channels with care and find berths in a total of six small to medium-sized marinas around its shores and in the rivers which drain into the lagoon. Working clockwise around the lagoon from [[Lignano]], the marinas are as follows: [[Marina Punta Gabbiani]], [[Marina Aprilia Marittima]], [[Marina Capo Nord]], [[Portomaran - Marano Lagunare]], [[Marina Sant’Andrea]] and [[Marina San Giorgio]]. The last two are up the channel of the river Como at the NE end of the lagoon.

The Laguna di Marano (Marano lagoon) lies at the northern end of the Adriatic sea between the harbours of [[Venice]] and [[Trieste]] in [[Italy]].  At its western end is the entrance channel and port of [[Lignano]] and at its eastern end the entrance and commercial harbour of Porto Buso.  Unlike that of Venice, the lagoon is a largely unspoilt and peaceful sanctuary for a wide variety of migratory birds and rich in marine life.  Traditional fishermen’s shelters, constructed of reeds, line the banks of its channels and large parts of its salt and freshwater marshes are a designated nature reserve.  Although most of the lagoon is relatively shallow, yachts can navigate most of its channels with care and find berths in a total of six small to medium-sized marinas around its shores and in the rivers which drain into the lagoon.  Working clockwise round the lagoon from [[Lignano]], the marinas are as follows: [[Marina Punta Gabbiani]], [[Marina Aprilia Marittima]], [[Marina Capo Nord]], [[Portomaran - Marano Lagunare]], [[Marina Sant’Andrea]] and [[Marina San Giorgio]].  The last two are up the channel of the river Como at the NE end of the lagoon.

==Local Weather==
+
-
During the summer months the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal seabreezes.  In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy.  Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months.  Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above.  Luckily they are rarely long-lasting.  Fog is a further hazard often encountered in the lagoon of Venice, especially in the early and late season.

The lagoon may be entered either via the entrance of Porto Lignano, the main, westernmost entrance at [[image:World_icon.png]] {{Coord|45|41.5|N|13|10.0|E|}} or, in the case of the last two marinas, the entrance of Porto Buso at [[image:World_icon.png]] {{Coord|45|42.3|N|13|15.15|E|}}.

'''Porto Lignano'''
+
==Passages==
 +
''See [[Aegean to West Mediterranean Passages]]''.
-
The entrance of Porto Lignano lies immediately E of the peninsula of Lignano Sabbiadoro, between it and the low island of Isola di Martignano.  Dangerous sandbanks extend offshore for over a mile on either side of the entrance and the safe water between the banks (which shift constantly) is marked by a red and white fairway buoy situated about 1.5 miles SSE of the channel.  Yachts entering should pass within 50 metres of the buoy, which is moved to reflect the shifts, before turning on a course of c. 355 degrees to cross the bar and pick up the channel, which is marked with wooden posts (white to starboard and red to port).  Depths in the channel are around 6.0 metres, but can be as little as 2.5 metres over the bar.  Entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds.  Porto Lignano is the best entrance for access to [[Marina Punta Gabbiani]], [[Marina Aprilia Marittima]], [[Marina Capo Nord]] and [[Portomaran - Marano Lagunare]].  A yacht will experience minimum depths of 3.0 metres up the channel as far as [[Marina Punta Gabbiani]], [[Marina Aprilia Marittima]] and [[Marina Capo Nord]], but as little as 2.0 metres in the channel to [[Portomaran - Marano Lagunare]].

-
The entrance of  Porto Buso lies four miles E of Porto Lignano, between the islands of Isola di Sant’Andrea and Isola di Porto Buso.  The channel is protected by two long breakwaters nearly a mile long and is dredged to a depth of 7.5 metres.  Access is therefore possible at all states of tide and in all conditions.  As such, the Porto Buso entrance is a safer point of access to the lagoon in heavy weather.  A yacht will experience depths of 6.5 - 7.0 metres up the river Como as far as [[Marina Sant’Andrea]] and 4.0 - 5.0 metres as far as [[Marina San Giorgio]].

==Navigation==
 +
The lagoon may be entered either via the entrance of {{mark | lat= 45.69994| lon=13.15765 |zoom=15| type= waypoint| name= Porto Lignano}}, the main westernmost entrance or, in the case of the last two marinas, the entrance of {{mark | lat= 45.71555|lon=13.24872 |zoom=13| type= waypoint| name=Porto Buso}}.

The entrance of '''Porto Lignano''' lies immediately E of the peninsula of Lignano Sabbiadoro, between it and the low island of Isola di Martignano. Dangerous sandbanks extend offshore for over a mile on either side of the entrance and the safe water between the banks (which shift constantly) is marked by a red and white fairway buoy situated about 1.5 miles SSE of the channel. Yachts entering should pass within 50 metres of the buoy, which is moved to reflect the shifts, before turning on a course of c. 355 degrees to cross the bar and pick up the channel, which is marked with wooden posts (white to starboard and red to port). Depths in the channel are around 6.0 metres, but can be as little as 2.5 metres over the bar.  An entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds. Porto Lignano is the best entrance for access to [[Marina Punta Gabbiani]], [[Marina Aprilia Marittima]], [[Marina Capo Nord]] and [[Portomaran - Marano Lagunare]]. A yacht will experience minimum depths of 3.0 metres up the channel as far as [[Marina Punta Gabbiani]], [[Marina Aprilia Marittima]] and [[Marina Capo Nord]], but as little as 2.0 metres in the channel to [[Portomaran - Marano Lagunare| Portomaran]].

The beautiful landscape of the Laguna di Marano

The Laguna di Marano (Marano lagoon) lies at the northern end of the Adriatic sea between the harbors of Venice and Trieste in Italy. At its western end is the entrance channel and port of Lignano and at its eastern end the entrance and commercial harbour of Porto Buso. Unlike that of Venice, the lagoon is a largely unspoiled and peaceful sanctuary for a wide variety of migratory birds and rich in marine life. Traditional fishermen’s shelters, constructed of reeds, line the banks of its channels and large parts of its salt and freshwater marshes are a designated nature reserve. Although most of the lagoon is relatively shallow, yachts can navigate most of its channels with care and find berths in a total of six small to medium-sized marinas around its shores and in the rivers which drain into the lagoon. Working clockwise around the lagoon from Lignano, the marinas are as follows: Marina Punta Gabbiani, Marina Aprilia Marittima, Marina Capo Nord, Portomaran - Marano Lagunare, Marina Sant’Andrea and Marina San Giorgio. The last two are up the channel of the river Como at the NE end of the lagoon.

Weather

During the summer months, the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal sea breezes. In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy. Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months. Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above. Luckily they are rarely long-lasting. Fog is a further hazard often encountered in the lagoon of Venice, especially in the early and late season.

Sources for weather information:

  • There is a continuous (computerized 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 covering the Adriatic are broadcast from stations at Roma, Trieste, Kerkyra (Greece) and Split (Croatia)

Passages

Islands

  • Isola de Martignano
  • Isola di Sant’Andrea
  • Isola di Porto Buso

Navigation

The lagoon may be entered either via the entrance of Porto Lignano/wiki/Laguna_di_Marano#Porto_LignanoWorld icon.png Porto Lignano [[Laguna di Marano#Porto Lignano|Porto Lignano]] 45°41.996'N, 013°09.459'E , the main westernmost entrance or, in the case of the last two marinas, the entrance of Porto Buso/wiki/Laguna_di_Marano#Porto_BusoWorld icon.png Porto Buso [[Laguna di Marano#Porto Buso|Porto Buso]] 45°42.933'N, 013°14.923'E .

The entrance of Porto Lignano lies immediately E of the peninsula of Lignano Sabbiadoro, between it and the low island of Isola di Martignano. Dangerous sandbanks extend offshore for over a mile on either side of the entrance and the safe water between the banks (which shift constantly) is marked by a red and white fairway buoy situated about 1.5 miles SSE of the channel. Yachts entering should pass within 50 metres of the buoy, which is moved to reflect the shifts, before turning on a course of c. 355 degrees to cross the bar and pick up the channel, which is marked with wooden posts (white to starboard and red to port). Depths in the channel are around 6.0 metres, but can be as little as 2.5 metres over the bar. An entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds. Porto Lignano is the best entrance for access to Marina Punta Gabbiani, Marina Aprilia Marittima, Marina Capo Nord and Portomaran - Marano Lagunare. A yacht will experience minimum depths of 3.0 metres up the channel as far as Marina Punta Gabbiani, Marina Aprilia Marittima and Marina Capo Nord, but as little as 2.0 metres in the channel to Portomaran.

The entrance of Porto Buso lies four miles E of Porto Lignano, between the islands of Isola di Sant’Andrea and Isola di Porto Buso. The channel is protected by two long breakwaters nearly a mile long and is dredged to a depth of 7.5 metres. Access is therefore possible at all states of tide and in all conditions. As such, the Porto Buso entrance is a safer point of access to the lagoon in heavy weather. A yacht will experience depths of 6.5 - 7.0 metres up the river Como as far as Marina Sant’Andrea and 4.0 - 5.0 metres as far as Marina San Giorgio.

Places to Visit

While the town of Lignano Sabbiadoro has the beaches, the other ports in the Marano lagoon have the beautiful landscape and abundant wildlife of the lagoon surrounding them. The charming old port of Marano Lagunare at the head of the lagoon is well worth a visit.
