Bari - Docking
Yachts can berth alongside the Molo San Antonia in Porto Vecchio (old port) on the south side of the peninsula. There is usually plenty of room here. Care is needed to tie only to the part of the Molo that has the lower section of wharf. It runs from about halfway along the Mole towards the light at the end.
The shelter is good.
There is also a sailing club in Porto Vecchio that will take boats bow or stern to if there is a room available.
Cantieri Nautica Ranieri now has pontoons installed and can offer marina berthing, albeit in a rather “workshop” setting. A possible option if you are planning on leaving your boat for some time as security here is reported to be very good.
An alternative berth can be found at the modern marina at Polignano a Mare, 20nm south of Bari.
It is also possible to anchor inside the harbour at Mola di Bari, 10 km from Bari.

Nautica Ranieri Marina.
thank you guys for the help and the quick turnaround that we received when we booked out at your marina.
We refuelled , cleared out and picked up what we needed in less than an hour.
you are truly a professional group.
I recommend them for quick , professional and easy formality and fuel.
Nautica Ranieri in Bari: we chose this marina because we were going to be leaving our boat for several weeks of land travel on mainland Europe. We chose it because it was conveniently located for us, having just sailed over from Dubrovnik (a straight shot across the Adriatic), and it was by far the most reasonably priced (45 euros a night), and also very secure marina on our intended course down the southern Adriatic, around the “boot” of Italy and westward.
The marina puts a big premium on security. The boatyard is directly adjacent to the coast guard and is behind large walls with secure doors. When we arrived by taxi fully laden with our provisions from shopping, the marina opened its auto doors and allowed the taxi to drive up to the boat, and we entered and exited via a key-card accessible door. Otherwise, no open entries to the boatyard or marina are possible.
We decided to haul out and have some maintenance and beautification work done at Nautica Ranieri because the yard had well-qualified workers and decent (for Italy) rates. Under the direction of Antonio Ranieri and his brother Nicola, this 2nd generation management team runs a good operation. They speak good English and are very accommodating (for instance, allowing us to send packages of things we ordered to the marina). They have skilled labourers in all the trades and they do a brisk business. They do not allow owners to live or work on the boat when it is on the hard. They do not do work from August 8-September 5th (their month of the holiday).
The yard has fast internet, showers, bathrooms, a tented lounge area, a chandlery, all in a pretty basic, industrial setting. The neighbourhood is all locals, no tourists. The access the channel in and out of Bari (shared with large ferries) is excellent.
You can get camping gas in a small shop on Via Andrea de Bari nr 100. They will refill your bottles.
Ranieri Chantiers Nautico is a private boatyard on the north side of Bari harbour with winter berths available. Good rate and spaces available.
