Mangalia Marina is right next to one of the many popular beaches that are dotted between Mangalia and Constanta. There are many cafes, restaurants, shops, markets, and quite a lot to explore, both locally and further inland. Given the quality of the marina and its security, as well as negotiable rates for staying, it has become a place to keep a yacht while exploring the countryside, particularly Transyvania. | Mangalia Marina is right next to one of the many popular beaches that are dotted between Mangalia and Constanta.

| More notes about the marina | |
Mangalia Marina is considered the most modern port in Romania.
Marina radio contact
Contact Mangalia Harbour Master on VHF 67.
You should avoid depths below 5 meters, because outside the port, in the area south of the entrance there are two rocks beneath the surface (-0.40m). At night watch for the red lighted big antenna tower. It is much closer to shore than the lighthouse, so it's a better guide. When you are close enough you'll see the lights of the entrance.
Entrance
Mangalia is a port of entry/exit to the Romania. Custom's pontoon is in front of the building with big vertical windows, right on shore. Custom officer is to be found in the building. You may ask Harbour Master to call him. Usually will wait for you on the pontoon.
For entrance details see Romania.
Berthing
All berthing is on pontoons, seen in the picture. The marina staff will direct you to a suitable berth on arrival. The pontoons are of floated concrete.
Marina facilities
- Water and electricity on the pontoons.
- On site boarder control officers.
Repairs/Yard
- Not on site, but can be called in from LZ Yachting in Varna.
- Also available from the yard further inshore, former Military Yard. Both the yard itself and some small repair companies which use their facilities.
Security
- 24 hour presence of marina staff, with occasional patrols with local police taking place.
- Pontoons are gated, but never locked and as such are open to the public should anyone choose to enter. People have been known to jump on boats to have pictures taken.
Marina Location
Mangalia Marina is right next to one of the many popular beaches that are dotted between Mangalia and Constanta. There are many cafes, restaurants, shops, markets, and quite a lot to explore, both locally and further inland. Given the quality of the marina and its security, as well as negotiable rates for staying, it has become a place to keep a yacht while exploring the countryside, particularly Transyvania. The Marina is in the Mangalia city center.
Vama Veche is close, with its party beaches and strings of restaurants. Formerly it was populated by people camping along the shores, now that is forbidden (but still taking place).
Transport
List transportation (local and/or international. Bus service to town?)
Price
It's not cheap, unless you negotiate a price 'without receipt', in which case anything is possible. Look at paying around 1 Euro per metre per day.

- I have had several visits to this place, it is only in the last couple of years that they have started charging for stays. It's always been safe and quiet, with friendly locals and staff. BenPikeUK
