San Remo lies on the Ligurian coast of Italy at the western end of the Gulf of Genoa, just over 10 miles E of the French border. It is the first major port encountered by yachts cruising eastwards from French into Italian waters. Originally a Roman settlement, the town’s major expansion took place from the mid-19th century onwards, when it became a popular resort of the Austrian and Russian imperial families. Among other potentates who descended on San Remo in later years was Sultan Mehmet VI, the last Ottoman sultan, who died here in exile in 1926. Today the town is a bustling, if slightly faded, resort, with a lively cultural scene, an elegant old casino, a huge flower market and some spectacular mountain scenery just a few kilometers inland. Yachting visitors berth either in the busy Porto Pubblico or the much larger, better-appointed (and more expensive) Portosole Marina.
Local Weather
The prevailing winds along the western part of the Ligurian coast during the summer are a SW or SE seabreeze, which rarely gets up much above force 4-5. Along the eastern part of the coast, the winds tend to come more from W or NW and are again usually little more than moderate. While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and are typically caused by depressions further west in the Golfe du Lion which bring strong N winds as they move further E. In winter, the tramontana, a strong N wind off the Alps, is more frequent, although the libecchio is a strong SW wind that can affect the whole of the Ligurian coast and blow for several days, causing heavy seas.
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 La Garde (Toulon), Roma and Cagliari (Sardinia)

There are no dangers in the approach to San Remo. The buildings of the town rising up the slopes from the harbour are visible from some distance off. Closer in, the two breakwaters and the masts of the yachts will be clearly identifiable. The harbour entrance is roughly in the centre of the two breakwaters and entry is from SE. Depths in the entrance are 8.0 - 10.0 metres.

Maximum stay three days. Depths on the pontoons range from 2.0 to 6.0 metres. Shelter is good in all but strong S/SE winds, when a surge enters the harbour. In practice, the pontoons are often full to bursting, especially during the peak season of July and August, and a visiting yacht will be directed to the marina of Portosole.
- The large and modern Portosole Marina is immediately to starboard on entering the harbour. In the basin there is room for over 800 yachts on laid moorings on a total of nine pontoons and quays. Maximum length 90 metres. Maximum draught 7.0 metres. Shelter here is good in all conditions. See entry under Marinas & Yacht Clubs for details.
