Marciana Marina is situated on the NW coast of Elba, some eight miles west of Portoferraio.  It is a useful point at which to break a passage from Bastia in Corsica to Portoferraio.  The harbour is protected by a long breakwater, along which there are yacht berths.  The breakwater encloses a large T-pontoon with more berths.  The town is a good base for exploring the mountainous interior of the island or for ascending on the cable car to Monte Capanne.

Marciana Marina is situated on the NW coast of Elba, some eight miles west of Portoferraio. It is a useful point at which to break a passage from Bastia in Corsica to Portoferraio. The harbour is protected by a long breakwater, along which there are yacht berths. The breakwater encloses a large T-pontoon with more berths. The town is a good base for exploring the mountainous interior of the island or for ascending on the cable car to Monte Capanne.

Local Weather

Shelter is good in the harbour in the prevailing winds. However, strong winds with anything east in them cause an unpleasant swell. The harbour would probably become untenable in very strong easterlies.

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)

Approach and Navigation

No hazards in the approach. The breakwater can be difficult to see on the approach from west, but the prominent tower at its root is a good landmark. Depths in the harbour range from 2.0 - 8.0 metres; along the breakwater from 4.0 - 8.0 metres.
