 Poti : Profile
Poti is located on the eastern Black Sea, 33nm north of Batumi. Built near the site of the ancient Greek colony of Phasis, the city has become a major port city and industrial centre.
Poti is a main naval base and the headquarters of the Georgian navy. It also has a very friendly and active Yacht Club which welcomes visiting yachts.
Position 42° 09.4'N, 41° 38.5'E.
See Georgia Formalities for details.
Once berthed, the Yacht Club personnel will organise clearance officials to come and complete formalities either on board or in the clubhouse. They can assist with translation also. If you are organised with all the necessary paperwork ready, officials are said to be very efficient.
It is useful to email the yacht club in advance of your visit.
Enter the commercial harbour round the northern end of the breakwater. Once inside, continue past the Naval harbour. The Yacht Club is located in the centre of the port in the inner harbour, identified by the 5 story square tower.
