The marina in Pylos has been in an unfinished stage since 1995. The Vernicos group has acquired it but it has not been completed yet (June 2013). There does not appear to be any work proceeding on it, although it is understood there are intentions to develop it soon. Nevertheless it is usable and many local fishing boats do use it as well as visiting yachts. Since it is free, some boats winter here, but you probably would not want to leave your boat unattended for too long.
Communication
Forget it. There is no one there to listen.
Enter from the N. Stay close to the N side and avoid the shallow water on SE.
Entrance
This marina is a port of entry/exit.
Submit details about facilities for checking in - where to dock, location of immigration & customs, etc.
Berthing
Most visiting yachts moor side-to on the inside of the main outer wall. Otherwise find a spot on one of the finger pontoons, and pick up one of the mooring balls that is (hopefully) attached to a mooring line. Depths are good.
Facilities
None.
Repairs
There is a small hard area with boats hauled out. There do not, however, appear to be any facilities associated with that. There is no charge for parking your boat, but you have to find the crane driver - and find someone to make a cradle for you!
Security
None. Warning: Beware of a man on a motorbike who uses various ruses to look official - eg wearing a badge, carrying a VHF radio - in order to try to extract money from you. He is also reported to have stolen items off boats.
Location
The town is about a 5 minute walk from the marina.
Transportation
Buses from the town to other cities in Greece.
Price
Free. (confirmed September 2016)
