Yacht charter
Last updated on 8 April 2025
Located in the south-east of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, the Italian province of Gorizia is a paradise for nature lovers. The coastline is dominated by the splendid Grado lagoon, and is characterized by its expanses of golden sand beaches and a fabulous network of canals between the islands and islets. A yacht charter from Grado allows you to explore them and discover exceptional protected areas, such as the Miramare marine reserve, the Duino cliffs nature reserve and the Friulian Dolomites regional nature park. The city is also renowned for its marine thermal baths, whose waters have incredible therapeutic virtues for skin diseases and rheumatism.
In the old quarter of Grado, stroll through the narrow streets that branch off between the port and the cathedral of Santa Eufemia. This religious building dating from the 6th century has preserved only the marble columns, Byzantine capitals, mosaic pavement and baptistery from that period. The gilded silver altarpiece, in the Venetian style, dates from the 14th century. To discover other mosaics from the 6th century, you have to go to the basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie. These few sites will be enough to stretch your legs after hours spent at sea with your sailboat charter in Italy.
