Seaside land - the yacht ports
A 130 km long coast, 23 yacht ports with over 15.000 moorings and berths, shipyards, a well-equipped service network: Friuli Venezia Giulia, the region in which the northernmost part of the Mediterranean Sea works its way into Europe, is the ideal destination... whether you happily possess a pleasure boat or you would just like to enjoy your first holidays on board!
This dock system is made particularly fascinating by its excellent equipment and efficiency, as well as its networking offering sportsmen an overall service.
Sailing enthusiasts can take part in the hundreds of sailing races organized by sailing clubs every year... as well as, of course, in the Barcolana: a traditional mid-October event in the Gulf of Trieste in which over 2.000 sailing boats with the most important international skippers compete in a unique sailing kermis.
Everyone can sail on a safe sea, from the sandy coasts of Lignano and Grado with their wonderful strands (on which children can spend a few hours) to the wide rocky gulf of Trieste: here there is the Sea Reserve Miramare, the first in Italy to obtain the EMAS certification, a European quality label certifying that the environmental management of the area is in keeping with EU-norms.
