Boating
Discover Friuli Venezia by boat and discover a world balanced between East and West
When the light reflects on the water in Friuli Venezia Giulia, it has a shimmer all of its own.
A shimmer that you see from the boat as you sail towards the long expanses of golden sand at Lignano and Grado, or the white cliffs towering above the sea when you go towards Trieste, the easternmost stretch of land in Italy.
Here, nature takes unique forms, such as in the Marano Lagoon and Grado lagoon, where daily life moves to the time-honoured rhythms of fishermen's rituals, or in Muggia, with its delightful Venetian features and styles.
Festivals and food
The local seafood dishes and other specialities are the result of a special microcosm of traditions and cultures, as are the folklore and festivals. The Barcolana is the most popular international la regatta in the Mediterranean and there are also niche events such as Nautilia, in Aprilia Marittima, a second-hand boat show in October and Vela & Vela in Porto San Rocco.
Numerous facilities for yachts and launches
Lots of tourist ports and quays, 23 marinas, 15,000 moorings and 130 kilometres of coast: these are just some of the things available to sailors in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The yachting and boating centres of Friuli Venezia Giulia
A whole range of all-the-year-round services for unforgettable sailing holidays: the 'stazioni nautiche' (yachting and boating centres) of Friuli Venezia Giulia are local sailing development centres with high quality services, all with internal infopoints.
