Campione d'Italia is a small Italian enclave surrounded by Switzerland, located on the shores of Lake Lugano. Despite its small size and unique political geography, Campione d'Italia doesn't have a traditional marine port as one would find in coastal cities. Instead, its access to water is more akin to recreational and small-scale transportation facilities typical of lakefront towns.

- Location: Situated on the eastern shore of Lake Lugano, fully enclaved within the Swiss canton of Ticino.
- Geography: The enclave encompasses a picturesque waterfront with scenic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.
- Economy: Historically, the economy relied heavily on the Campione Casino, although it also benefits from tourism.
Port Specifications:

- Facilities: Small docks or marinas catering to private boats, ferries, and recreational vessels.
- Boat Mooring: Facilities for mooring small to medium-sized boats, primarily for private leisure use.
- Ferry Service: Limited ferry services connecting with other parts of Lake Lugano, facilitating local transport and tourism.
- Services:

- Accessibility: Easily accessible from Switzerland given its unique geographical placement within Swiss territory, though administratively Italian.
Infrastructure:
- Docking Spaces: Limited number of docking spaces due to the size of the enclave, focused on private and leisure vessels.
- Navigation: Suitable for small boats; large commercial ships are not accommodated here.
