Marina dei Cesari is located in the Adriatic Sea in the picturesque coastal town of Fano, 30 miles south of Rimini in Western Italy. Offering one of the most luxurious marinas in MDL’s portfolio, Marina dei Cesari was launched by MDL at the beginning of this year and offers its customers 400 fully serviced berths, 24 hour security,  an exclusive J Lounge bar and restaurant, fuel station and yacht stores.

Fano Jazz By The Sea is just one of several vibrant boating and lifestyle events taking place at the marina throughout the year.  In May, Marina dei Cesari also hosted the annual Fano Yacht Festival – the second largest boat show in Italy.  Based at the marina over two weekends, the festival attracted top international shipbuilders, charter operators, brokers, financial services providers and marine clothing suppliers.  Along the glamorous quay, visitors to the Adriatic’s most important event were able to peruse more than 150 sailing and motor yachts,

Mick Bettersworth, Managing Director of MDL’s International Division, commented: “Marina dei Cesari is an extremely popular venue in Italy and certainly provides the perfect setting for the Fano Jazz Festival.  As one of Italy’s top music festivals, and with the facilities to match, it promises to be a superb event.

“We’re delighted to welcome Marina dei Cesari to our portfolio and it’s already proving very popular with our UK and Italian clients.  The facilities at the marina are second-to-none and provide berth holders and visitors with the opportunity to explore the Italian coast, as well as the islands of Croatia, with all the benefits and high standards customers can expect at a MDL marina.”
