arina d’Arechi is a brand new facility designed
from the ground up to suit the needs of local and
visiting boat owners. Situated in the south of Italy
on the beautiful Amalfi coastline, it is perfectly

historic cruising area. Its location at the very heart of the
Mediterranean makes it an ideal destination for visiting boats as well
as an attractive long-term proposition for British and European
owners looking for a permanent berth in the sun.LOCATION
Tucked into the northern corner of the Gulf of Salerno, Marina
d’Arechi is well protected from the elements and easily reached by
boat, plane or car from Salerno or Naples airport. As well as enjoying
superb local cruising, it is also the gateway to the Adriatic and
Aegean Seas. With a season that stretches from April to November, an
average eight hours of sunshine a day and water temperatures that
rarely drop below 25°C, this is truly a boat owner’s paradise.CRUISING AREA
Even by Mediterranean standards, the Gulf of Salerno is an
exceptional cruising area thanks to the calm waters of the Tyrrhenian
Sea, the dramatic coastal scenery and some of the finest cultural sites
in the whole of Italy. To the west lie the historic coastal towns of
Amalfi and Positano interspersed by pristine beaches and bays leading
on to the beautiful island of Capri. Further north is the fascinating
UNESCO world heritage site of Pompeii and to the south, Agropoli,
Punta Licosa and the stunning Aeolian Islands.FACILITIES
