     From the sea one can recognize Rovinj by its cathedral located on the hill. This is the point of difference in appearance between Rovinj and Porec because the Porec cathedral is on the shore. You can berth in Rovinj either in the city harbor to the south or in the ACI marina further south across the small island of Katarina.
      The berths in the ACI marina are safe in all kind of wind, though a strong north-westerly and tourist boats can cause surface swell. Access is possible from both north and south. The north inlet and city harbor are lighted (nos E 2680, E 2687)so that boats can enter any time of day or night without difficulty. Until customs formalities are settled, yacht should temporarily berth in the outer arm of the western pier on the sea side of the customs rail.
   When the sea is rough, berthing from the bow should be carried out on the iinner side of the port of which only the south-east arm is available. The north section is reserved for big fishing boats stationed there, which must always have free access.
About half a kilometer south-east of the town is an ACI marina with 380 berths on the east coast. South-west and north-west it is protected by a breakwater and a floating piers. There is a considerable car park also. Each berth in the marina is equipped with water and electricity shore connection.
Shopping can be done both in town and marina.Beside the petrol pump the sea depth is 4m. The pump is situated at a pier in the north part of the town. This place is, however, completly unprotected from strong westly and northly winds and in such cases tanking is very difficult, if not impossible.

In the ACI marina there is a specialized shop for yachts spare parts.
