More notes about the Marina

The Marina di Pescara is one of the largest marinas along the central Adriatic coast of Italy, with a total of 1000 berths for yachts up to 50 metres. However, the depths in the entrance and the marina itself are relatively shallow and deep drauft yachts need to take great care. Entry is difficult and even dangerous in strong onshore winds in view of the depths.

Marina radio contact

Contact Marina di Pescara on VHF channel 06 prior to entry.

Navigation/Approach

The town of Pescara straddles its own river and can be identified from distance by a cluster of tall aerials on the hills behind. Closer in, the buildings of the city and the long detached breakwater protecting the harbour will be seen. A tall white-painted lighthouse is also conspicuous on the S bank of the canalized entrance to the river. To enter the marina, pass to the SE end of the curved breakwater that protects it from NE, which will be evident from the numerous yacht masts inside. The marina is entered from SSE between this breakwater and a short western mole. Depths in the entrance are 3.5 - 4.0 metres and in the marina 2.7 - 3.0 metres. Entry should not be attempted in strong onshore winds. A depth gauge at the entrance gives the current water depths in the marina and it is useful to check it in case of storm surges.

Berthing

Berthing assistance is available on request (24 hrs).
