Porto Santa Margherita is a huge, purpose-built leisure development and marina complex at the mouth of the river Livenza on the Adriatic coast of [[Italy]], eight miles NE of [[Cortellazzo]] and six miles SW of the entrance to [[Portobaseleghe]] on the Litoranea Veneta.  The development contains two marinas, [[Marina 4]] and [[Darsena dell’Orologio]] with a total between them of 930 berths for yachts up to 22 metres.  Depths at the river entrance are around 3.0 - 4.5 metres and entrance is inadvisable with draft of 2.0 metres or more except close to high water and in settled conditions.  In any event, it is preferable to enter Porto Santa Margherita on a rising tide in case of silting.

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.  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).

The entrance to the river Livenza lies at [[image:World_icon.png]] {{Coord|45|35.1|N|12|52.08|E|}}.  The entrance is protected by two 500-metre long converging breakwaters  The entrance is prone to silting and depths are currently (January 2011) around 3.0-4.5 metres at low water.  Entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds.  Beware of the seasonal ferry (April - September) that exits the river at speed.  [[Marina 4]] is situated 400 metres upstream on the port side of the channel.  Access is along a narrow channel through a pair of lock gates (used to maintain depths in the marina) with a width of 7.4 metres.  For  [[Darsena dell’Orologio]], take the right fork in the river 100 metres beyond Marina 4 into the Canale dell’Orologio and follow the channel for a further 1400 metres.  The basin of Darsena dell’Orologio is to starboard    close to the town of Caorle and is accessed via a very narrow gate.

Porto Santa Margherita is essentially a huge leisure development and has very little of tourist interest.  Caorle is much older and has a pleasant old town centre.  Its 11th century cathedral has an unusual cylindrical belltower and some notable paintings from the Venetian school.

Contents

Porto Santa Margherita is a huge, purpose-built leisure development and marina complex at the mouth of the river Livenza on the Adriatic coast of Italy, eight miles NE of Cortellazzo and six miles SW of the entrance to Portobaseleghe on the Litoranea Veneta. The development contains two marinas, Marina 4 and Darsena dell’Orologio with a total between them of 930 berths for yachts up to 22 metres. Depths at the river entrance are around 3.0 - 4.5 metres and entrance is inadvisable with draft of 2.0 metres or more except close to high water and in settled conditions. In any event, it is preferable to enter Porto Santa Margherita on a rising tide in case of silting.

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.

Sources for weather information:

  • 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 covering the Adriatic are broadcast from stations at Roma, Trieste, Kerkyra (Greece) and Split (Croatia)

Approach and Navigation

The entrance to the river Livenza lies at World icon.png 45°35.1′N, 12°52.08′E. The entrance is protected by two 500-metre long converging breakwaters The entrance is prone to silting and depths are currently (January 2011) around 3.0-4.5 metres at low water. Entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds. Beware of the seasonal ferry (April - September) that exits the river at speed. Marina 4 is situated 400 metres upstream on the port side of the channel. Access is along a narrow channel through a pair of lock gates (used to maintain depths in the marina) with a width of 7.4 metres. For Darsena dell’Orologio, take the right fork in the river 100 metres beyond Marina 4 into the Canale dell’Orologio and follow the channel for a further 1400 metres. The basin of Darsena dell’Orologio is to starboard close to the town of Caorle and is accessed via a very narrow gate.

Berthing Options

There are two berthing options in the river marinas:

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

  • Marina 4 with 450 berths for yachts up to 22 metres in depths of 3.0 - 3.5 metres, and
