While the harbour is relatively shallow and usually busy, a yacht with modest draught can usually find a berth here on the pontoons run by the Italian ''Lega Navale''. Shelter here is good in all conditions except strong easterlies, when a very uncomfortable swell develops.

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.  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).

There are numerous rocky shoals along the coast and a yacht should keep at least half a mile offshore in the approach.  The harbour breakwater and a conspicuous square tower on the headland SE of the entrance will be seen when closer in.  Entrance to the harbour is from due E.  Beware of a dangerous rock, usually just awash, that lies around 200 metres E of the entrance, close to the approach line.  Depths in the harbour entrance are 3.0 - 5.0 metres and in the port from 1.5 to 3.0 metres.

Villanova harbour

The small harbour of Villanova lies on the Adriatic coast of Italy 22 miles NW of the port of Brindisi and 10 kilometres N of the town of Ostuni on the ‘heel’ of the Italian peninsula. While the harbour is relatively shallow and usually busy, a yacht with modest draught can usually find a berth here on the pontoons run by the Italian Lega Navale. Shelter here is good in all conditions except strong easterlies, when a very uncomfortable swell develops.

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. 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 (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 Adriatic.

Communication

Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Also see World Cruiser's Nets.

Navigation

There are numerous rocky shoals along the coast and a yacht should keep at least half a mile offshore in the approach. The harbour breakwater and a conspicuous square tower on the headland SE of the entrance will be seen when closer in. Entrance to the harbour is from due E.

Danger: Beware of a dangerous rock, usually just awash, that lies around 200 metres E of the entrance, close to the approach line. Depths in the harbour entrance are 3.0 - 5.0 metres and in the port from 1.5 to 3.0 metres.
