Busy harbour of San Marco di Castellabate |
San Marco di Castellabate is a small fishing harbour located two miles NE of Punta Licosa and its associated tiny islet of Isola Licosa on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy. Around 300 vessels can squeeze in behind the breakwater and on moorings here. Although there is ostensibly space reserved for up to 20 yachts in transit, it can be difficult to find a berth here in busy periods. The harbour should only be used in settled weather, as with strong winds from NW round to SW it becomes very uncomfortable and potentially dangerous.
Local Weather
Winds along the Tyrrhenian Coast of Italy are generally light in the summer months. The most notable feature is a SW seabreeze that kicks in in late morning and blows at little more than Force 2 - 4 until the evening. Thundery conditions are not infrequent during early Spring and Autumn, and associated winds can sometimes reach gale force and kick up a substantial sea. In winter, gales can blow from both NW and S and entry to and exit from some of the harbours along the coast can become hazardous.
Sources for weather information:
- There is a continuous (computerised voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation
- The same forecast is given in Italian and English on VHF coastal stations following a notification on channel 16
- Navtex weather forecasts are broadcast from stations at La Garde (Toulon), Roma and Cagliari (Sardinia)

Islands
None.
The islet and shoals off Punta Licosa should be given a wide berth in the approach from S. The harbour breakwater and the village above are conspicuous from close in. The harbour is entered from NNE. Beware of inshore shoal patches to the W of the entrance. Entry to the harbour in strong winds from W is not advised.
Berthing options
Yachts in transit berth bows or stern-to the quay, wherever there is space. Maximum length 16 metres. Maximum stay 72 hours. You need to use your anchor here. Depths along the quay range from less than 2.0 metres at the root to 4.0 metres at the end. Much of the harbour is filled with small craft moorings and space for maneuvering is tight.
