Marina D'Arechi, Modern yacht port in Salerno, Italy

Marina d'Arechi is an offshore port-island built in front of the Arechi Stadium in Salerno, with 1,000 berths for boats from 10 to 100 metres and a water area of 340,000 square metres. Its sea works were designed by engineer Guglielmo Migliorino, while Santiago Calatrava designed the land works, including a yacht-shaped nautical club and a 105-metre cable-stayed bridge.

The port was designed as a modern facility with international safety standards and structural durability in mind. Engineers thoroughly tested its design to ensure it could reliably serve vessels of different types.

The port hosts several restaurants and bars where visitors can enjoy Mediterranean dishes while watching boats move in and out. These gathering spots reflect how the city integrates its waterfront into everyday life.

The marina lies off the Salerno coast in front of the Arechi stadium and is reached by sea; the planned Calatrava bridge over the 30-metre basin was never built, so land access differs from the original design. A 400-space car park, kiosks and an open-air amphitheatre are planned on the mainland. The boatyard handles hauling and refitting with a travel lift rated to 220 tonnes.

The port features a dedicated storage area for boats during winter months and a large lifting system for raising vessels for maintenance work. These facilities allow larger boats to be serviced and stored safely year-round.
