Marinas & Harbors of Ajaccio

Port Tino Rossi
At the heart of Ajaccio, Port Tino Rossi combines the atmosphere of a historic Mediterranean city with a distinctly maritime setting. For visiting yachts, it offers the rare advantage of being directly connected to the centre of the city.
📍 In the Heart of Ajaccio
The harbour lies immediately beside the historic centre, placing restaurants, cafés, shops and the waterfront within easy reach. For crews and guests, the city becomes part of the marina experience rather than something separate from it.
⚓ Harbour of Honour
Port Tino Rossi includes a harbour of honour with infrastructure designed to accommodate larger yachts. This gives the port a particular relevance for visiting yachts looking for a central arrival in Ajaccio.
🌊 A Maritime City Setting
The combination of boats, waterfront promenades and the historic city creates a very different atmosphere from a large, purpose-built marina. Here, the yacht is part of the life of Ajaccio itself.

Port Tino Rossi: Yacht Facilities
Port Tino Rossi combines a central city location with surprisingly capable yacht infrastructure. From its floating pontoons for smaller pleasure craft to the dedicated harbour of honour for very large yachts, the port serves a remarkably broad range of vessels.
⚓ Harbour of Honour
The main quay has a dedicated harbourmaster's office and a completely renovated electrical network designed to accommodate yachts of more than 100 metres.
This gives Port Tino Rossi a particularly interesting position among Mediterranean city-centre harbours for large yacht arrivals.
⛵ Floating Pontoons
The four floating pontoons perpendicular to the jetty, together with the main harbourmaster's office, are intended for pleasure boats of up to 18 metres.
Water and electricity are available directly on the floating pontoons.
⚡ Water & Electricity
Harbour service points provide electrical connections ranging from 16A/220V to 125A/380V, together with water facilities.

From an intimate city-centre berth to a superyacht arrival, Port Tino Rossi offers an unusual range of possibilities.
