The project of the new marina was born as a redevelopment of the current dock of the Nautical Circle built in the 70s, widening the current basin and realizing a navigable access to the port independent from the Cecina river. The reduction of the Cecina estuary section, to make way for the port entrance channel, has imposed careful studies to ensure the flow of flood of the Cecina river and the protection of the port areas and not from floods.

In terms of urban planning, the general planning approach proposes the port area as a multipurpose tourist and recreational district of the city of Cecina: the port and the new bridge reconnect the urban fabric of the city of Cecina with the beaches and tourist activities to the north of the river.

The project involves the construction of an equipped pedestrian and cycle path that, starting from the town of Cecina crosses the new bridge, develops along the entire perimeter of the port, both on the left bank and on the right bank, until it reconnects to the beaches and is able to connect the main recreational areas of the port such as:

  • the center for sailing sports, underwater activities, provided for in special rooms on the head of the breakwater;
  • the pedestrian walkway on the breakwater pier which, given its size, can also be used for markets, exhibitions and summer events;
  • the wellness center, the gym and the swimming pool within the hotel-conference center.

Furthermore, in order to making the port’s vitality active throughout the year, the port area is intended:

a) as a commercial center for selected products for sportswear, sports and nautical equipment, boating supplies and brokers, foodstuffs and basic necessities;
b) as a center for entrepreneurial, promotional and cultural activities. To this purpose, following activities are proposed:

  • in the shipbuilding area for the development of entrepreneurial maintenance and storage activities;
  • dry dock and laboratories for craft activities and nautical bricolage;
  • an exhibition center serving the Cittadella della Nautica and entrepreneurship in the area of ​​the province of Livorno;
  • a convention / multi-function center, inside the hotel, serving promotional and cultural initiatives;

c) as a center for conservation fishing activities, retail and wholesale marketing and shipping of fish. To this end the project foresees on the west pier:

  • the specialized moorings for the fishing fleet;
  • rooms for fishing equipment,

d) as a city district of seafaring venues, typical restaurants, fish taverns, and places for young people.
