Islands
Asinara island lies three miles north of Stintino. There are a number of lovely anchorages on the east side of the island, sheltered from the prevailing NW winds. Bear in mind that Asinara is declared a national park and anchoring is prohibited there. Paid mooring buoys are available though at a few locations there.

Approach is either from the east, when the large breakwater protecting the harbour will be visible some distance off, or from the west, when a yacht has the option of sailing north of Asinara island or through Passagio dei Fornelli, the narrow channel between the island and the mainland. Depths in the channel here are as little as 4 metres, so care is needed especially with any sea running from the west as the shallowest part is on the western side.
Berthing
Telephone the harbour office on +39 (0)79 523053.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
Porto Mannu is the main yacht harbour. Maximum draft in the harbour 2.3 metres; maximum length 13.0 metres. There are several pontoons here run by a private club, offering a total of 300 berths (30 for visitors). Toilets and showers. Water and electricity. Slipway. Fuel station. Mobile crane up to 40T.
Anchorages
Anchorage is possible inside the breakwater, avoiding the mooring buoys although this has become quite restricted. Alternative anchorages to the north of Stintino on the eastern side of Piana and Asinara (noting the conservation area) islands. To the south of Stintino, in calm weather, are several viable anchorages.

Tourism
Good beaches around the town, although the main attraction here is the Asinara nature reserve north of the town and accessible via organised boat trips. The island of Asinara is a former prisoner of war camp which became a penal colony and was used as such until 1997. Today it is a nature reserve and hosts a number of rare species, including a unique breed of albino donkey.
