Yacht tourism is an important component of the development of coastal regions and is centrally promoted at the level of the European Union. However, in St. Petersburg, yacht tourism is very poorly developed. The authors consider some aspects that hinder the development of local and international yacht tourism. The paper describes some of the features of the sea passage to St. Petersburg. The places of yacht berths, shelters, passage options are briefly described, and criteria for assessing yacht ports are proposed. Ten main yacht ports located on the territory of the city were analyzed according to the formulated criteria. The main problems that hinder the development of international and local sailing on yachts are formulated. For example, there is insufficient information about underwater hazards, not all berths have full-fledged wave protection structures, most clubs do not have a designated guest place for mooring and further payment. According to the authors of this work, the development of yachting tourism will attract additional funds to St. Petersburg and increase tourist interest, including through the holding of events. In the future, it is planned to develop a system of expert assessments and substantiate the methodology for the formation of the final criterion for assessing the convenience of anchorage in the yacht port.
