The harbor was designed to protect boats from the currents of the Port of Ravenna through a specific internal basin configuration.
The marina complex includes over 400 residential apartments built directly overlooking the berths.
It is one of the few marinas in the region engineered to host superyachts exceeding 30 meters in length.
The development replaced older, industrial port infrastructure to prioritize recreational and luxury nautical tourism.
It sits at the northern end of the Marina di Ravenna coastline, providing a buffer between industrial shipping lanes and recreational beaches.
Porto Turistico Marinara is a purpose-built private marina located in Marina di Ravenna, capable of accommodating over 1,100 vessels. The facility features a residential and commercial complex integrated directly into the harbor layout, surrounding a central basin. It serves as a primary nautical hub for the Adriatic coast, offering deep-water access for large yachts. The harbor architecture is characterized by modern Mediterranean design with perimeter pedestrian arcades. It hosts a range of services including mechanical workshops, dry storage areas, and specialized nautical maintenance facilities. The marina is connected to the Adriatic Sea via a protected canal entrance. The surrounding plaza area functions as a social space with integrated retail, dining, and professional services.
The pedestrian bridge overlooking the central basin provides a wide-angle view of the harbor and the residential architecture.
Walk the full perimeter of the docks to see the diverse range of yachts and local fishing vessels.
Visit the surrounding Piazza Dora Markus for local dining options that offer views of the docked boats.
Check local event calendars as the plaza frequently hosts nautical fairs and seasonal outdoor markets.
Do not attempt to board private vessels, as the docks are restricted to authorized owners and crew.
Commercial activities in the plaza area are most active during the spring and summer; many shops scale back operations in winter.
