Full Description & Details
Pristanisce Portoroz is a municipal facility on Slovenia's short Adriatic coast, located in the resort town of Portoroz. The harbour is divided into two distinct sections: a public transport area for passenger and cargo vessels, with the left side of the mole reserved for regular passenger line services, and a local berthing area organised as municipal moorings for private vessels. The facility is operated by Okolje Piran, the municipal utility company of the Municipality of Piran.
The marina provides water and electrical connections at the berths. Berthing is allocated according to municipal regulations, with a formal waiting list system in place. Pricing is set by municipal decree, with the most recent tariff structure adopted in April 2023 and published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia. The facility operates under local ordinances that govern berth allocation and contract procedures, with multiple amendments published between 2017 and 2021.
Visiting sailors should be aware that this is a municipal harbour primarily serving local boat owners under long-term contracts. The allocation system and waiting list suggest limited availability for transient berths. The facility's dual function means that part of the harbour infrastructure is dedicated to commercial passenger services rather than recreational berthing.
The harbour is subject to Slovenian maritime regulations and municipal port ordinances. Detailed regulations covering berth allocation procedures, contract terms and additional service charges are published on the operator's website. The facility is managed as part of the broader municipal port infrastructure that includes the nearby harbour at Piran.
