Guzelce Marina lies 22 miles W of the southern entrance to the Bosphorus (Strait of Istanbul), on the north coast of the Sea of Marmara. While still giving the appearance of being somewhat incomplete, the marina has alongside and stern-to berthing on its quays and jetties, water and electricity at all berths, toilets and showers, wifi and a huge area of hard standing for yachts wishing to lift out. Shelter is good from all directions except SE (winds from this direction are luckily rare).

Depths in the entrance are 5.0 – 6.0 metres and at the quays and jetties from 3.5 to 5.5 metres. If approaching from the direction of Istanbul, note that there may be strong winds blowing down the bay of Büyükçekmece, which lies just E of the marina, in even moderate northerlies.

Berthing

A marina RIB will usually meet visiting yachts at the entrance and direct them to a berth. While there are some berths on laid moorings along the northern quay outside the marina office, most visitors will be berthed alongside on the two concrete jetties extending SE from the breakwater. Very large yachts (20 metres plus) are berthed on the S side alongside the quayed breakwater.
