| summary= The port of '''Pesaro''' lies on the Adriatic coast of [[Italy]] on the E bank of the Foglia river, around seven miles NW of the port of [[Fano]] and eight miles SE of the harbour of [[Cattolica]]. The port, like many along this coast, consists of a canalized river basin. Extensive shallows along the coast and limited depths in the entrance mean that Pesaro is only suitable for shallow to moderate draft yachts and in settled weather. Depths in the entrance are 3.5 - 4.5 metres and in the harbour 3.0 - 4.0 metres. The entry should not be attempted in strong onshore winds.

The port of Pesaro lies on the Adriatic coast of Italy on the E bank of the Foglia river, around seven miles NW of the port of [[Fano]] and eight miles SE of the harbour of [[Cattolica]]. The port, like many along this coast, consists of a canalized river basin and an additional basin forming a shallow ''porto turistico'' at its mouth. Extensive shallows along the coast and limited depths in the entrance mean that Pesaro is only suitable for shoal draft yachts and in settled weather. Depths in the entrance are 3.5 - 4.5 metres and in the ''porto turistico'' 1.5 - 4.0 metres. Entry should not be attempted in strong onshore winds.

==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.  In the southern Adriatic, the “Scirocco”, a S/SE wind blowing up from North Africa which can last for several days, is more common.  Unlike the “bora”, which can arrive without warning, a “scirocco” tends to build in strength over 24-48 hours, sometimes reaching gale force (especially in winter).

There are berths for smaller yachts in the porto turistico, which is accessed via a narrow entrance immediately W of the entrance to the canal. It may be necessary to use your anchor here to go stern or bows-to the quay. Depths here are less than 2.0 metres in places, especially on the S side. Larger yachts will have to seek a berth alongside in the canal, wherever there is space, or on one of the pontoons in the commercial harbour.  Depths here are 3.5 - 4.0 metres.  Most berths here are managed by the Italian Lega Navale, the Club Assonautica and the Club Nautico.  Water and electricity at some of the pontoon berths.

Harbour of Pesaro from NNW (the basin shown at bottom is silted & unused)

The port of Pesaro lies on the Adriatic coast of Italy on the E bank of the Foglia river, around seven miles NW of the port of Fano and eight miles SE of the harbour of Cattolica. The port, like many along this coast, consists of a canalized river basin. Extensive shallows along the coast and limited depths in the entrance mean that Pesaro is only suitable for shallow to moderate draft yachts and in settled weather. Depths in the entrance are 3.5 - 4.5 metres and in the harbour 3.0 - 4.0 metres. The entry should not be attempted in strong onshore winds.

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. In the southern Adriatic, the “Scirocco”, a S/SE wind blowing up from North Africa which can last for several days, is more common. Unlike the “bora”, which can arrive without warning, a “scirocco” tends to build in strength over 24-48 hours, sometimes reaching gale force (especially in winter).

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

See Adriatic.

Communication

Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Also see World Cruiser's Nets.

Navigation

The entrance to Pesaro consists of a narrow channel between a long breakwater, orientated E/W, which protects the harbour and a shorter breakwater extending N from the shore on the eastern side of the entrance channel. Minimum depths in the entrance at low water are 3.5 metres.

Warning: Entry is from NNE and is difficult and potentially dangerous with strong onshore winds. There are extensive shifting shoals on either side of the entrance and great care is needed in the approach, which should be on a course of 135 degrees to avoid the worst of the shoals.

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 in most of the shallower harbours.

Berthing

There are effectively just two options for berthing in Pesaro, the quay on the E side of the channel 200 metres in from the entrance (Banchina di Levante) and the pontoon berths of the Club Nautico on the opposite side of the channel. The basin further in is reserved for members of the Italian Lega Navale.

The basin described in some pilot books as Darsena Nuova immnediately W of the entrance is silted up, disused and looking very forlorn. It does not provide a berthing option at present (May 2015).
