Boats in Trieste

Show more>

Trieste is located in the easternmost region of Italy, bordered by Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea. The Gulf of Trieste serves as a natural port that spans over an area of 55 km wide. Besides the opportunity to sail and discover hidden bays, coves, and beaches, the Gulf of Trieste offers watersport activities and endless fun. Among the splendors of the coast and the wonderful idea to rent a boat in Trieste, a tour to the historical and architectural wonders of the city is highly recommended. From 1382 to 1918 Trieste belonged to the Habsburg Monarchy and became the fourth-largest city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1920, it was transferred to Italy and throughout the 20th century many great writers lived here, among them were Umberto Saba, Italo Svevo, and James Royce.

Trieste hosts the biggest sailing regatta in the world.  It is known as the Barcolana and has roughly 2,200 yachts lined up on its starting line every October. Trieste also hosts the second-largest synagogue in Europe, the biggest cave visited by tourists (known as the Grotta Gigante), and the biggest sea-facing square in Europe (known as the Piazza Unita). The city offers more than 700 cafés. It has been referred to as the largest coffee harbor of the Mediterranean.

For some extra sightseeing options, you can visit the Canal Grande, the Roman theater, and the Miramare castle. Trieste forms a Karst plateau, where many small villages (such as Prosecco, San Dorligo Della Valle, and Samatorza) offer wild excursions that range from trekking to kayaking and scuba diving. Once you have had your fill of the summer street life of Trieste, it is time for you to combine an adventure by the sea and explore the hidden gems that stretch from the gulf to the Adriatic Sea.

To spend a wonderful yacht charter holiday in Trieste, you can plan a trip to Manfalcone or explore the shores of Slovenia. If you choose to head out from the Gulf of Trieste towards the Slovenian coast, you can make a stop at Muggia. Porto San Rocco is a tourist harbor with excellent facilities and offers a great stop before reaching Koper and Izola. The Slovenian coast is only 46 km long but offers a fantastic seaside experience. Towns you can explore include Piran and Portoroz. They both have a unique history and a true spirit of a Meditteranean lifestyle. By renting a sailboat with a skipper, you can plan a special cruise towards Venice or continue sailing down the Istrian coast towards Porec and Rovinj.

By renting a boat in Trieste, you may also plan a day cruise to Duino and Manfalcone.    

Duino is renowned for its limestone cliffs and Natural Reserve, which offer perfect diving and snorkeling activities. Further along the coast, you will find the magnificent Bay of Sistiana and the exclusive beachfront of Portopiccolo. Baia Sistiana is considered one of the best beaches of Duino. This is also where you can find the biggest cave in Europe, known as the Grotta Gigante. Not too far from there, you will find Marina Julia; a quintessential wind spot for kite-surfing fans. The shallow coastal waters and the North-easterly bora winds create the perfect conditions to entertain sport and sailing enthusiasts.

If you want to extend your cruise, you can plan an excursion towards Grado, a historic center situated on a narrow strip of land, surrounded by lagoons. Guests may enjoy the beaches, waterfront cafés, and stroll inside the town. Some beaches you must visit around the lagoon include Spiaggia Principale and Spiuaggia Costa Azzurra. If you want to relive the dramatic history of the Roman Empire, Grado has plenty of sites that dive into the ruins of the ancient Basilica as well as the remains of public baths.
