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.  Fog is a further hazard often encountered in the lagoon of Venice, especially in the early and late season.

==Approach and Navigation==

==Passages==
-
Approach to Venice Central is via the '''Porto di Lido''' [[image:World_icon.png]] {{Coord|45|25.18|N|12|26|E|}}.  The Porto di Lido is the principal (and busiest) entrance to the lagoon, giving the most direct access to the centre of Venice. 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.

Piazza San Marco, the most famous view in Venice

Central Venice is arguably the one of the most difficult places in the lagoon to find a berth during high season. However, with careful planning and advance notice, it is usually possible to find a suitable berth at one of the four locations described below or even (with local help) in one of the numerous small basins and boatyards dotted around the outer edges of the central island of Venice.

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. Fog is a further hazard often encountered in the lagoon of Venice, especially in the early and late season.

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 Mediterranean.

Islands

There are a total of 117 small islands in the lagoon, some inhabited but many of them little more than extensive mudbanks. The principal inhabited islands are as follows:

Navigation

Approach to Venice Central is via Porto di Lido/wiki/Venice_-_Central#Porto_di_LidoWorld icon.png Porto di Lido [[Venice - Central#Porto di Lido|Porto di Lido]] 45°25.180'N, 012°26.000'E . Porto di Lido is the principal (and busiest) entrance to the lagoon, giving the most direct access to the centre of Venice. 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.

Entrance

Venice - Central is a port of entry for Italy. For details see Entrance: Italy.

Berthing

Yachts visiting central Venice have four principal berthing options: two on the islands of Sant’Elena and Certosa at the E end of Venice, one on the N side of the island of San Giorgio Maggiore opposite the Piazza San Marco and the range of large yacht berths operated by the agency of Venice Yacht Pier along the Canale La Guidecca.
