Ventotene (Pontine Islands) - Docking
The harbour provides very good shelter and has done so since Roman times.
There are two harbours in Ventotene.
The new one (Calla Rossano) is also the ferry harbour and there is a swimming dock off the sailing club.

The other much older harbour (over 2000 years old) is called Porto Vecchio or Porto Nicola and was built by slaves. Boats up to 45ft can berth bows-to the quay here. There is a depth of approx. 2.20m. Do not, however, berth stern-to the quay as it shallows quickly with only about 1m of water next to the quayside. There are electricity and water on the quay.

It is possible to anchor outside the port and there are also several anchorages around the island.
