More notes about the Marina

The marina of Venezia Sant’Elena lies on the E side of the island of Sant’Elena at the easternmost extremity of the city of Venice, close to the Porto di Lido, the main entrance to the lagoon. All berths here are managed by the sailing club Diporto Velico Veneziano and berths are only available when members are away. The marina is away from the worst of the bustle of the city, being about two kilometers ESE of St Mark’s Square. It has 230 berths for yachts up to 15 metres in maximum depths of 4.5 metres.

Marina radio contact

The marina does not keep listening watch on VHF channel. For advance reservations, telephone or e-mail the club secretary, Signora Graziella (January 2011). The office is open on Monday and Friday mornings, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and all day Saturday. Closed Thursday and Sunday. Alternatively, berth at the pier opposite the office (identifiable by a yellow crane) and await instructions.

Navigation/Approach

Access is via the Porto di Lido, principal (and busiest) entrance to the lagoon. As the deepest channel, with depths of over 10 metres, it is also the one used by ferries and large commercial vessels. The ends of the N and S breakwaters are identifiable by conspicuous black and white and red and white painted structures. A fairway beacon is situated around 2.5 miles SE of the entrance, from where a course of 300 degrees brings you safely through the entrance. The safe channel is also indicated by port and starboard markers. The channel is dredged to over 10.0 metres. Entry is best around slack water, since the tides can reach 4.0 knots at springs. Beware of cross-currents. Once through the entrance, follow the channel, which is marked with posts, as it curves S for about 1.5 miles, leaving the island of La Certosa to starboard, when the yacht masts in Venezia Sant’Elena will be evident in the basin on the eastern side of the island of Sant’Elena. The entrance is 350 metres from the southern tip of the island, at the SE corner of the basin.

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.

Personal experience

Post your personal experience and rating of this marina.

  • The place is a sailing club not a marina and they truly welcome you as a guest. Don't expect a state of the art marina. Some knowledge of Italian is helpful. Salacia
