Mossel Bay - Docking

Aug 25, 2024

Anchoring and Berthing at Mossel Bay:

With no yacht club or marina, berths are available inside the port depending on availability. Alternatively there is an anchorage just outside the harbour.

Anchorages:

If no berths are available, vessels are welcome to anchor in the bay just outside the harbour mouth.

The anchorage in front of the yacht club is good in all but north easterlies.

Berthing:

When you call Port Control on VHF Channel 12, they will most likely direct you to the raft up to a fishing vessel at the end of the Vincent jetty or directly on the Western side of the jetty, which has big black tires as fenders. Use long lines because of the tidal range. There is no charge to berth here.  Toilets are available in the port control building.

For berthing contact the Harbour Master Capt. Vania Cloete, who can be reached at Vania.Cloete@Transnet.net, or by telephone at +27 44 604 6304.

You can also contact the Mossel Bay Moorings Association – Email: info@mbmoorings.co.za

Daytime Arrival:

  • Contact Port Control on VHF Channel 12 to inform them of your arrival.

Night time arrival:

  • Port Control radio watch is now 24/7.
  • Contact Port Control and inform them of your arrival.
  • (All manoeuvers within the channel or harbor must use the appropriate sound signals).
  • You will be told to anchor in the bay.

Note:  On entering the port area when going ashore, you will need to take a breathalizer test, so you can't have alcohol when you eat out.
