The small harbour of Stazzo lies 10 miles north of Catania and 6 miles south of Riposto in Sicily. In summer four pontoons are installed inside the breakwater, creating berths for up to 150 small yachts (maximum 10.0 metres). Shelter in the harbour is adequate in settled weather, but strong winds from E round to SW send in a swell. The harbour is untenable in strong southerlies.
