Nuuk Harbor is not accepting any sail boats to either moor or anchor due to overcrowding. Some small bays around are available for anchoring but with no kind of access, facilities or service. Nuuk's Harbour Master has announced that starting in 2025, only passenger cruise ships will be permitted to enter the harbor.
Our thanks to Victor Wejer, OCC Port Officer, for this information.
Nuuk has a very safe, protected harbor, however it is very busy and there is a lot of traffic all year long. The Nuuk Marina is very popular but from May to mid-November 2024 there were no available summer places for yachts and no waiting list.
It may be possible to get a guest berth but according to the marina manager "you must contact the shop out on the harbor as they manage the guest berths. A guest place costs DKK 200 per person/day."
The main docking facility for yachts is known as the Lystbådehavnen. It has some electric access points and a fee is charged for docking here.
Anchoring is possible inside the harbor, but not very practical as the harbor is so busy.
