Overview

Marina del Fezzano is a specialized nautical facility located in the Gulf of Poets, designed primarily for recreational boating and yacht services. It serves as an active shipyard and marina, situated in the historic seaside village of Fezzano between La Spezia and Portovenere. The facility offers over 250 moorings for vessels up to 25 meters in length. It features a technical area equipped for refitting, boat repairs, and engine maintenance. The location is sheltered by the surrounding coastline, providing natural protection from prevailing winds. The marina maintains a maritime industrial heritage while facilitating access to the Gulf of La Spezia. It is a functional maritime hub rather than a recreational swimming beach.

Insider tips

Observe the marina from the village waterfront rather than entering restricted technical dock areas.

Visit the surrounding Fezzano village to view the traditional colorful Ligurian houses situated on the hillside above the harbor.

What to avoid
