All the moorings in the harbour are private, many of them occupied by members of the local sailing club. However, there are usually one or two free at any time and the very friendly assistant employed by the Mudanya Belideyesi (municipality) will usually help a visiting yacht moor. All moorings have pick up buoys and you will need a long line to pass through the eye of the buoy before reversing back to the quay. Take care in approaching the quay as there is rip rap that may keep you 2m off the dock. The assistant’s office is on the first floor of the building at the root of the breakwater, next to the conspicuous ''Mudanya Restaurant and Otel''. | All the moorings in the harbour are private, many of them occupied by members of the local sailing club.

Mudanya
| |
The city of Mudanya (Greek τα Μουδανιά) lies on the southern shores of the Sea of Marmara, three miles E of Zeytinbagi and 13 miles W of the busy industrial port of Gemlik. A busy commercial centre and important ferry terminal, until recent years yachts could only moor in part of the commercial harbour, which was usually filled with local boats. Now, however, a new harbour is in operation in a residential area a mile W of the old commercial harbour. The southern half is occupied by small fishing vessels on pontoons, while the northern half, along the breakwater, has laid moorings for around 100 yachts in good shelter. Depths in the harbour are 4.5 – 5.0 metres and in the entrance 4.0 – 5.0 metres.
