Sibari Marina, Italy

[cynthia]

Does anyone have any knowledge about the marina at Sibari? Their website is unavailable at the moment, so I'd be interested in comments about the shelter, security and transport links if anyone can help.
Thanks

received the following from the Marina last August
Gentile Signore,
rif. Suo e-mail del 19 Agosto, il presente per confermarLe che la ns. MARINA è sempre stata operativa, era il canale di accesso non navigabile.
Il suddetto canale è stato riaperto dall'inizio dell'estate.
A disposizione per qualsiasi chiarimento, porgiamo,
distinti saluti.

Or you can order by us a taxi and the cost is 150,00
EURO.
2. The weather near the end of May, normaly is beatiful, like
summer.
3. The working port on the way from Vibo V. to Sibari are:
Reggio Calabria, Roccella Jonica, Crotone.

Thanks. We knew the channel was blocked last year and the marina closed, but thought dredging had now cleared the access. Is this not the case?
By e-mail the marina have confirmed that they have a berth available, but that it is not possible to pre-book at the moment because the office is not fully operational. They didn't mention access!!

The above mail in italian (quoted by catmandoo) says that the channel has been dredged and is now navigable.
