 Burgas : Profile
Call the Port Authories on VHF channel 11 on approach. Formalities are performed on Quay 6 and are reported to be straightforward. The ships papers may be retained by the harbourmaster.
Checking out is done in the Port Control Office, situated on the 8th. floor of the tower with the radar antenna, by the dock gates. (NOTE: No lift after 3rd floor!). Yachts are given the option of having a cruising permit for the whole of the coast or of checking in and out of each port along the way. In the case of the former option it would be necessary to return to Bourgas to check out of the country.
The west breakwater is currently being extended in a southerly direction. An estimated 300M has been added and work continues.
The yacht club is on the east Breakwater between the light and the start of the wider dock. There are mooring buoys which the smaller local boats use but would be too close to the dock for any yacht over 8M. You can moor stern or bows to with an anchor off; there is some swell from passing tugs and pilot boats.
There is an anchorage behind the commercial port. A few local boats moor here and it offers good shelter. The bottom is mud and good holding. You are closer to town and you do not have to walk through the port.
There is a dinghy ramp near the light on the end of the breakwater.
Borgas Yacht Club
The berths are out on the end of the east breakwater and because of the extension of the southwest quay, there is reasonable protection.
Charges are based on sq.m (LOA x beam) and on a 'day' starting at midnight. So a 1 night stay will be charged as 2 days. This works out at about 23 euro for the first night.
