Porto di Maratea, Marina port in Maratea, Italy

Porto di Maratea is a modern marina along the Tyrrhenian coast that accommodates pleasure boats and yachts in separate docking areas. The facility features maintenance services, fueling stations, waterfront dining, and retail shops for both boat owners and visitors.

The name Porto appears at Maratea by the 18th century, when there was no harbour structure, only a landing unsafe in winter. The first section of the modern port was completed in 1962. In 1987 a violent storm of force 7-8 lasting three days caused very serious damage.

The name Porto has been recorded at Maratea since at least the 18th century, when there was no harbour structure, only a landing unsafe in winter. The modern port was completed in stages, with the first lot finished in 1962. In 1987 a violent storm of force 7-8 lasting three days caused very serious damage to the structure.

The port sits just a short drive from Maratea's old town and provides ample parking for visitors. Restaurants and shops are located right along the waterfront, making it easy to spend time here without needing transportation elsewhere.

The port of Maratea was the first Italian port to be headed by a female harbourmaster. The original design had one large northern pier and a small one separating the harbour from a beach; in the 1970s a new pier closed off that beach and increased capacity.
