Porto Degli Argonauti - Docking
Call on VHF channel 74 when entering the breakwater.
Pontoons have lazy lines, power and water, marina staff will assist. The lazy lines, because of their limited use, can be mud-soaked, be sure to wear gloves and old clothes.
This marina is completely enclosed by land except for the entrance channel and thus well protected from all wind strength and directions.
There are haul-out facilities with a 75-ton travel lift, and it appears that most repairs can be handled, although getting hold of parts might be difficult.
This is an ideal facility for sheltering from bad weather but also for exploring the beautiful villages and towns of Puglia, Calabria and Basilicata, including famous Matera, a UNESCO protected heritage site, or for simply parking the boat for home visits. The helpful marina staff will assist with car rentals, the only way to get around as there is no form of public transportation. The nearest train/bus stop is 5 km away.

Came up here due to weather conditions. The “Marina” is part of a holiday resort, has room for about 450 boats and host approx. 120 right now. There is a boatyard with travel lift capable of all kinds of repairs. Now, in the middle of March – offseason – everything is closed here. But one can see, that the place offers different cafes and restaurants during the season and I suppose in July and especially in August it will be very busy here!
There is the long beach of the gulf just some minutes walk through a shadowed forest. The harbour itself is well protected and the staff takes great care of everything and everybody, also at this “off-season” now. Very friendly and helpful.
