The port of Senegallia is situated on the Adriatic coast of Italy around 14 miles NW of the port of Ancona and 12 miles SE of the harbour of Fano. The port, like many along this coast, consists of a canalized river basin (now unused and closed to navigation due to silting, and three additional basins at its mouth, one of which contains a relatively new marina.

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. 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 (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 Senigallia is done through two outer basins which protects the basin in which the marina is situated.

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 Options

Visiting yachts normally berth in marina located the northeasternernmost basin, managed by the local Gestiport. Go stern or bow to where directed, laid lines. Water and electrical available and included. 07/2013: 40 euro per night for a 12 meters yacht.
