The marina of Diporto Velico Veneziano lies on the E side of the island of Sant’Elena at the easternmost extremity of the city of Venice, close to the Porto di Lido, the main entrance to the lagoon. Immediately S is the new marina of Marina Santelena, with which it should not be confused. All berths here are managed by the Diporto Velico Veneziano sailing club and berths are only available when members are away. The marina is away from the worst of the bustle of the city, being about two kilometers ESE of St Mark’s Square. It has 230 berths for yachts up to 15 metres in maximum depths of 4. 5 metres.
