More notes about the Marina

Mykonos Marina (known locally as the New Port)  is a partly finished marina located around two kilometres north of the old harbour and town of Mykonos. It provides good shelter from the prevailing winds and is quiet, being some distance from the main town. Until recently something of a 'free for all', attempts have been made during 2011 to improve the facilities for yachts here and there are when last reviewed (May 2012) around a dozen laid moorings for small and medium sized yachts in the marina’s "yacht basin" to starboard on entry and a further 30 for larger (20-25 metre) yachts on the marina’s south west quay (on the inside of the section where the cruise liners berth). Water and electricity (prepaid) are currently available only at the berths on the SW quay.

See link to: Yachting and Boating World Forum for recent extensive discussions on the improvements to Mykonos Marina.

Marina radio contact

None at present.

Navigation/Approach

There are no dangers in the approach. Usually there will be one or more large cruise ships moored on the outside of the marina breakwater to help identify it. The marina is entered from SE. Depths in the entrance are 5.0 - 6.0 metres.

Berthing

See map of yacht berthing options (as at September 2011). Visiting yachts normally berth stern/bows-to or alongside in the basin immediately to starboard on entering the marina. The basin consists of a short breakwater extending from the shore and protecting the marina from SE and a parallel concrete jetty 100 metres further into the marina, creating a U-shaped basin in the E corner of the marina. There are only 2-3 laid moorings on the breakwater section of the basin and a further 5-6 on either side of the concrete jetty. Once these are taken, yachts need to use their anchors (with great care as there are mooring chains along both sides of the basin). A safer alternative is to go alongside on the shore side of the basin. Depths alongside here are >3 metres. Depths along the jetty and breakwater range from 4.25 metres at the root to 4.5 metres at the end. The basin is the least sheltered part of the marina and gusts will be experienced with strong northerly winds. The basin is also subject to some swell, especially in strong S winds.

There are a further 30 laid moorings for larger (20-25 metre) yachts on the marina’s south west quay (on the inside of the section where the cruise liners berth), but these are usually filled with local power boats and a visiting yacht will be lucky to find a berth here. Unfortunately, these are the only berths with water and electricity.

Sept.2013 : there were moorings in almost all berths on the yacht quays. There was water on the quay but electricity stands were broken. No payments collected. Dreamsails 13:08, 18 October 2013 (BST)

No berthing assistance is available at present. You are reliant on fellow yachtsmen.

Marina facilities

Currently water and electricity (prepaid system) only available on the SW quay. Fuel by mini tanker only. No other facilities. Well stocked Minimart nearby 0700 - 23:00.

Repairs

None.

Security

Poor. Its only protection is its remoteness from the town.

Marina Location

The marina is about half an hour's walk from the town and its attractions.

There are a couple of good restaurants close to the marina.

Transport

Car/scooter hire outlet opposite the marina. Regular bus service into town during the season. Also local taxis 22890 22400 are very inexpensive E5 -8 into town.

Price

The marina is run by the Town of Mykonos. There are offices of both the port police and the Port Authority. Charges are the same as all other city marina in Greece: about 140€ month for a 35ft.

  • Some much needed improvements have been made during 2011 (see link above) and Mykonos Marina is now slightly more yacht-friendly than it used to be. However, considerable additional investment is needed to bring it up to an acceptable marina standard. --Athene of Lymington 13:24, 11 July 2011 (BST)
