The Circolo Nautico e della Vela Argentario (CNVA) is a sport club founded in 1974 by the merger between the Circolo Vela Argentario and the Circolo Nautico Porto Ercole, both founded in 1963 with headquarters in Porto Ercole. With the construction, in the early seventies, of the new port of Cala Galera, the two clubs decided in 1975 to transfer the headquarters to the new Marina.[1]
