We have 230 fully serviced berths that can accommodate vessels up to 70ft. Situated in the deepwater lagoon, there is no restriction on draft and the berths are accessible at all times of the tide. The lagoon is protected by two breakwaters and six concrete wave-attenuating pontoons, each weighing 14 tonnes.
The pontoons are extra-wide, making berthing safer and easier and also allowing you to load and unload your boat with ease. The berths, supplied by Walcon with Seaflex anchoring systems, are fully serviced. Water, 240v power and lighting are all available.
We are happy to offer you assistance entering or leaving your berth. Please call on VHF Channel 80 for this free service. Visitors arriving by boat after hours of service can find vacant berths on either S, A, B or C pontoons.
