Trapani - Docking

Oct 01, 2017

It is prohibited to sail inside the harbour basin, motoring only.

Approach the harbour from the south but beware of the shallows a mile from the harbour.

There are a number of mooring concessions here and some do try to call yachts on approach on Channel 16 to see if they have a reservation. Don't worry, this is nothing official, they are simply trying to get the business ahead of the rest!

The yacht berths are directly north of the entrance and are often crowded. They are exposed to southerly winds and also those from the NW. Whilst the cost for one night is high, prices come down if staying for longer.

See alternative mooring recommendations from cruisers at the bottom of the page.

The port has most services, including crane, travel-hoist and fuel berth.

The town can provide most other needs (chandlery, LPG, laundry, post office, bank, pharmacy and provisions).

Security

Dinghy and outboard thefts were reported here in August 2017 by boats anchored off the lighthouse (see comment at bottom of page). Remember to lock your boat and property at all times.
