Docking
This marina is known to be a good place to winter as it provides good shelter from strong winds and the services remain open all year. Although one of the oldest along this coast, the marina is constantly upgraded and is a comfortable place to berth.
The boatyard here also has all the haulout, storage and repair services required.
