More notes about the Marina

Marina di Albarella is situated in the Po Delta at the southern end of the island of Albarella, close to the mouth of the river Po di Levante. The marina is surrounded by an extensive leisure development and offers 455 berths for yacht up to 25 metres in depths of around 4.0 metres.

Marina radio contact

Contact Marina Marina di Albarella on VHF channel 09 prior to entry. Alternatively berth on the mole immediately to starboard on entry and visit the marina office. For advance reservations, telephone or e-mail.

Navigation/Approach

Approach is via the northern outlet of the Po di Levante river estuary 45°04.68′N, 12°21.84′E between two long training walls oriented NNW. A yacht should maintain a bearing of 240 degrees on a conspicuous water/communications tower with two concrete ‘rings’ until into the river. Depths in the approach are around 5.0 metres but shoal to 2.5 metres or less either side of the safe channel, so entry is best be attempted on a rising tide close to high water. Once in the river depths are 4.0 -5.0 metres. A yacht should keep in the centre of the channel, maintaining these depths (the port side of the channel is marked with a row of concrete then wooden posts). About one mile from the entrance the breakwater of the marina will be evident to starboard.

Note: along this stretch of the Adriatic coast tidal ranges can exceed 1.0 metre at springs, so judging the tides right can make a significant difference to safe access.
