A good display both outside and inside. The boats kept on the canal provide a very picturesque scene but there is more worth viewing inside a well laid out museum interior. Well worth a visit.

The Museo della Marineria is a very nice little ship and fishing boat presentation close to the Porto Canale. It is surrounded by plenty of restaurants, bars and shops.

Usually when you think about museums you think of displays in dusty old glass showcases. Not here! This museum is another good example of museums in Italy, so well presented and well done, even if in a small town. The descriptions are in Italian and English languages.
The history of Cesenatico's seafaring and fishing life is all beautifully displayed .... from the fishermen, their work, their wives and families, the boats, how they were built, materials used, also how Cesenatico switched in the 1960's from mainly being a fishing town to tourism/beach summer resort + fishing. The museum is divided into "floating" and "on land". The floating part are the historic boats in the canal outside the museum; one of the transport boats (trabocco) can be visited in the evenings with the same entry ticket purchased for the land museum of 2 Euro. There is also a good bookshop and souvenir point.
By the way, Leonardo da Vinci was involved in the review of the canals called for by the Borgia family, as the canals were filling with sand causing problems of over-flooding. So they decided to appoint the top engineer being Leonardo to re-design the canals and solve the problems.

Really fascinating history of the fishing port of Cesenatico. Beautifully displayed with English translations. Superb exhibits in the museum and boats on the canal outside.
Cheap to visit and positively encouraged to touch the exhibits. Great for children and with excellent helpful staff.

It is such a charming sight: a collection of colorful old sailing ships anchored along a section of a canal. (They are all replicas, of course.)

Information on each ship is displayed on tables.

It is best to visit when the weather is good, as the sails are lowered in wind.

I did not visit the interior part of the museum, perhaps next time...

The display of sailing barges at the head of the port canal is a "head turner".
These beautiful timber ships from a near forgotten era were the backbone of commerce in the Adriatic from Roman times up to the 1920s, when larger powered vessels marked their decline.
The newly restored museum itself is on the north side of the canal close to the floating displays.
The interior displays explain the importance of the sailing luggers and fishing boats as well as the importance of the fishing industry to the town.
An interesting hours visit.

We liked a visit to museum of Marineria in Cesenatico, which is located in a famous port of cesenatico. It is interesting that the boats are exhibited not only INSIDE the museum but also OUTSIDE, on the canal. It is a really beautiful sight, especially in the evening!

I must admit I was as surprised as fascInated to find such an unique museum in an otherwise not well known (not in the US at least) little town. Really lovely especially while enjoying a gelato!

Cesenatico is a fabulous place to stay we stayed for a week and it was superb the museum is both outside and inside
The outer part is lit up at night and provides a stunning backdrop to the bustling restaurants along the quay
The harbour is a magnet for the locals who are treated to lots of street artists lovely ice cream parlours and fantastic seafood restaurants a great place to visit
