Anchoring
Note that no anchoring is permitted in the Strait of Messina. If anchoring in case of emergency, be sure to report where you drop the hook to avoid large fines. Read the VTS Messina Strait User Manual [Broken Link] for more information.
The Capitaneria at Reggio has enacted its own specific legislation in relation to anchoring off beaches in the area. The actual requirement is that yachts must anchor at least 150 meters offshore of beaches reserved for bathing between 08:00 & 20:00. While this is not unreasonable, there is, unfortunately, no way of telling whether a beach has been reserved for bathing without going ashore and finding a notice (and they are not easy to find). There seems to be no register online.

Berthing
The original yacht harbour, in the northern corner of the harbour, is run by Lega Navale Italiana. Boats moor on the part of the quay marked "Yachts in Transit". Staff have no english but are helpful and friendly. It is very crowded with local boats.
A better option can be found at the new pontoons at the southern end of the harbour. The ferries create quite a wash and the swell can enter the harbour in winds from the north. Good fenders are advisable.
The Post Office is on the south side of the harbour.
