Lignano, D-Marin Punta Faro Marina

D-Marin Punta Faro Marina sits right where the Adriatic meets the Marano Lagoon, giving you the rare option to head out to open sea or duck into sheltered lagoon waters on the same day. With 1,200 berths handling boats from 7 to 40 meters, it's one of the Upper Adriatic's biggest marinas and runs 24/7 year-round. You're only 40 nautical miles from Venice and a short hop from the Slovenian and Croatian coasts, making it a solid base if you're planning a broader Adriatic circuit.
