More notes about the Marina |
|
Cleopatra Marina is a relatively new marina (opened 2009) situated on the Aktion peninsular opposite the town of Preveza, which lies at the entrance to the Amvrakikos Gulf in the South Ionian Sea. The marina, although small, is associated with a large boatyard capable of storing nearly 1,000 yachts on land and is therefore popular with cruisers laying up in the yard. The marina offers 100 berths for yachts up to 30.0 metres and in depths of up to 8.0 metres. The marina offers a wide range of services and the yard is capable of virtually all repairs.
Marina radio contact
Contact Cleopatra Marina on VHF channel 67 prior to entry.
See Wiki entry for Preveza for entry details. The marina lies immediately to starboard once through the entrance channel to Preveza. It is entered from E between a long, curved wavebreak pontoon and a shorter pontoon with the fuel station (marked with flags) at its outer end. Entry and manoeuvering is difficult at times in view of the current which can flow in either direction through the marina. Do not attempt to enter without calling the marina staff for advice/assistance.
Berthing
See note above. The marina staff will help with berthing, especially if there is a current flowing. Berths are stern/bows-to on two short pontoons with two mooring lines or stern/bows-to or alongside the L-shaped wavebreak pontoon. Yachts (especially catamarans) are often directed to go alongside the wavebreak pontoon if only staying for a short period (or if close to the 30 metre length limit).

- The marina is quite smart and much better value than Lefkas marina five miles SW, although it does experience some swell in strong westerly winds. --Athene of Lymington 10:46, 19 October 2011 (BST)
