The marina is protected by a long, L-shaped breakwater extending NW then NE from the shore.  The entrance is at the N end of the breakwater between it and a large red buoy.  The channel then continues, marked by a series of smaller red buoys, via a dog-leg along the line of the breakwater and into the marina.  It is important to stay in the centre of the channel on entry, since least depths even here are around 2.75 metres and the depths shoal rapidly once out of the centre.

Marina Orikum, currently the only operational marina in Albania, is situated 1.5 kms N of the small town of Orikum in the Gulf of Vlorë, around 10 miles SSE of the NE tip of the Karaburum Peninsula. The marina, which is Italian-owned and managed, offers around 70 berths for yachts up to 15 metres in depths of up to 2.5 metres. There are plans during 2015 to expand the number of berths to 100.

It is important to stay in the centre of the channel on entry, since least depths even here are around 2.75 metres and the depths shoal rapidly once out of the centre.
