The maritime station, designed by archistar Zaha Hadid, is within walking distance from the city center and hosts the latest generation of cruise ships, in a tourist area of the highest landscaping, historical, cultural and archeological value.

The port of Castellammare di Stabia centers its activities mainly in the pleasure boating and shipbuilding sectors, thanks to the historical presence of the Fincantieri shipbuilding plant.
