The Yacht Club is immediately to starboard after passing the lighthouse at the entrance to the commercial harbor.

The club provides water, electricity, toilets and showers. Charges are based on sq.m (LOA x beam) and on a "day" starting at midnight. So a 1 night stay will be charged as 2 days. Ask about marine supplies and repair.
