Strangford Yacht Haven
Visitors Welcome
Berthing Conditions
Looking for a marina Strangford Lough? Strangford Yacht Haven is a single pontoon with limited capacity. Berths are allocated on a first come first served basis. Feel free, on passage, to call ahead for berth availability.
Getting Here
Strangford Lough is a Marine Nature Reserve and a favourite destination for cruising yachtsmen.
Visitors to the lough should be aware of the strong tides and overfalls at the entrance as the ebb tide against an onshore wind raises an area of steep and dangerous seas even in calm conditions.
It is recommended that the passage is not attempted by strangers unless they follow the clear directions in the Irish Cruising Club East & North Coast Sailing Directions and are in possession of Admiralty Chart 2156.
Marina Chartlet
Strangford Yacht Haven is a small Visitors Pontoon which can accommodate eight average sized boats but this can be increased by doubling up. There are also three Visitors Moorings on the south side of Swan Island. Because of the size of the small visitor’s facility it is not possible to pre-book berth but if on passage to the lough you should check with the Berthing Master Mob 07561477304
A chartlet of the harbour together with details of depths and tidal information is contained in the ICC Sailing Directions.
