Communication
Contact Punta Ala Marina on VHF channel 09 prior to entry. Telephone or e-mail for advance reservations.
The marina entrance is situated half a mile N of the rock-strewn promontory of Punta Ala at the SE end of the Gulf of Follonica. The marina is enclosed by a long breakwater extending NE from the coast. The entrance is oriented ENE. In the approach from N, the shallow bank of Secca del Barbiere 200 metres NNE of the marina entrance is marked with a W cardinal marker. In the approach from S, a yacht should pass half a mile off Punta Ala, in the channel between the dangerous reefs and the islet of Sparviero, where the depths are 10 metres or more. Depths in the marina entrance channel are 5.0 metres and in the harbour from 2.0 - 5.0 metres. The marina provides good shelter from all directions.
