| summary= The harbour of San Benedetto del Tronto is situated on the Adriatic coast of [[Italy]] around 16  miles NW of the port of [[Giulianova]] and 18 miles SE of the marina of [[Porto San Giorgio]]. The town takes its name from that of a Roman soldier reputedly martyred by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the beginning of the third century AD and later washed up on the beach near the town. A simple chapel was later built around his tomb and was the nucleus of the town’s future development.  Today San Benedetto del Tronto is a busy fishing harbour and thriving resort with one of the finest beaches along this stretch of coast. In the southern part of the harbour is a ''porto turistico'' providing berths for over 500 vessels on eight piers/pontoons and associated quays.

The harbour of San Benedetto del Tronto is situated on the Adriatic coast of Italy around 16  miles NW of the port of [[Giulianova]] and 18 miles SE of the marina of [[Porto San Giorgio]]. The town takes its name from that of a Roman solider reputedly martyred by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the beginning of the third century AD and later washed up on the beach near the town. A simple chapel was later built around his tomb and was the nucleus of the town’s future development.  Today San Benedetto del Tronto is a busy fishing harbour and thriving resort with one of the finest beaches along this stretch of coast. In the southern part of the harbour is a ''porto turistico'' providing berths for over 500 vessels on six pontoons and associated quays.

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 is a continuous (computerised voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation.  
+
The buildings of the town and the white tower of a lighthouse at the SW end of the port are conspicuous on the approach.  Entry to the harbour is from NNE, staying at least 60 metres off the northern breakwater all the way in to avoid a shoal patch extending from its end. Basically, this means following the line of the S breakwater as it curves round as close as you dare (if you are using Navionics chartware, note that the depth contours shown (May 2015) are completely wrong and will put you aground!). If in doubt, wait for a yacht or fishing boat to enter and follow it.  Depths in the entrance are 5.0 - 6.0 metres but shoal to little more than 2.5 – 3.0 metres in parts of the channel. The yacht berths are straight ahead and in the shallower basin to port on entry. Shelter is good, although strong northerly winds (force 5 and above) create an uncomfortable surge.  Under such conditions, waves pile up in the harbour entrance and entry is inadvisable.

==Berthing==
 +
All the berths in the yacht basin are managed by the local yacht club, the [[#Circulo Nautico Sambenedettense|Circulo Nautico Sambenedettense]]. Yachts berth where directed either on the four long quays/pontoons extending WNW from the south mole or along the wide concrete pier with the yacht club buildings on it to the W side of the basin. There are also three new pontoons extending N from this pier towards the fishing boats, but berths here are very exposed and it is best to avoid them if you can. There are spaces for around 500 yachts in all of a maximum length of 24 metres (although draft is a more important limiting factor).  Depths at the quays and pontoons range from 2.0 - 3.5 metres. Water and electricity on the pontoons. Toilets and showers at the yacht club (electronic card needed).

The waterfront of San Benedetto is particularly attractive, being largely pedestrianised, lined with tall palm trees and separated from the buildings of the town by verdant parks. The south breakwater (molo sud) is an attraction in its own right, with numerous rock sculptures created by participants in a 2012 sculpture expo as well as some impressive painted murals. Most visitors with time to spare also visit the historic town of Ascoli Piceno, 50 mionutes minutes away by bus, which bristles with mediaeval towers and ancient churches and also contains a fine art gallery in a 17th century palazzo.

Harbour of San Benedetto del Tronto from SSE

The harbour of San Benedetto del Tronto is situated on the Adriatic coast of Italy around 16 miles NW of the port of Giulianova and 18 miles SE of the marina of Porto San Giorgio. The town takes its name from that of a Roman soldier reputedly martyred by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the beginning of the third century AD and later washed up on the beach near the town. A simple chapel was later built around his tomb and was the nucleus of the town’s future development. Today San Benedetto del Tronto is a busy fishing harbour and thriving resort with one of the finest beaches along this stretch of coast. In the southern part of the harbour is a porto turistico providing berths for over 500 vessels on eight piers/pontoons and associated quays.

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

Entrance showing waves breaking on the shoal patch of the N mole in force 4/5

The buildings of the town and the white tower of a lighthouse at the SW end of the port are conspicuous on the approach. Entry to the harbour is from NNE, staying at least 60 metres off the northern breakwater all the way in to avoid a shoal patch extending from its end. Basically, this means following the line of the S breakwater as it curves round as close as you dare (if you are using Navionics chartware, note that the depth contours shown (May 2015) are completely wrong and will put you aground!). If in doubt, wait for a yacht or fishing boat to enter and follow it. Depths in the entrance are 5.0 - 6.0 metres but shoal to little more than 2.5 – 3.0 metres in parts of the channel. The yacht berths are straight ahead and in the shallower basin to port on entry. Shelter is good, although strong northerly winds (force 5 and above) create an uncomfortable surge. Under such conditions, waves pile up in the harbour entrance and entry is inadvisable.

Berthing

All the berths in the yacht basin are managed by the local yacht club, the Circulo Nautico Sambenedettense. Yachts berth where directed either on the four long quays/pontoons extending WNW from the south mole or along the wide concrete pier with the yacht club buildings on it to the W side of the basin. There are also three new pontoons extending N from this pier towards the fishing boats, but berths here are very exposed and it is best to avoid them if you can. There are spaces for around 500 yachts in all of a maximum length of 24 metres (although draft is a more important limiting factor). Depths at the quays and pontoons range from 2.0 - 3.5 metres. Water and electricity on the pontoons. Toilets and showers at the yacht club (electronic card needed).
