| More notes about the marina | |
This marina is in two halves. The Eastern half is a commercial enterprise, modern and has facilities including fuel. The Western half is a family run business, is considerably cheaper, secure, but with limited facilities
Communication
Nil.
Follow the marked channel inland from Varna Bay, under the bridge. Continue to follow the channel, still marked, into the lake. After a mile you will see a grey/white free watermark, indicating the approach angle for the marina. Head straight for the entrance, keep an eye on the depth. Shallows to either side and shallow (1.5m) further in the marina.
Berthing
Come alongside to the eastern side initially and seek directions. You may opt to keep your yacht in the cheaper western side after. Indeed, if your vessel is not flash enough, you may be encouraged to stay 'with the other cheap boats'
Facilities
There is a chandlery on the modern side.
Repairs
- Crane for haul-outs can be called in
- Long-term storage on grass
- Various repairs or assistance with repairs, but not professional
Security
There is 24 hour security in both locations. Both are gated areas
Location
You'll need a taxi to get anywhere. It is a long walk to the nearest shop, over hills and dirt tracks. Very peaceful, except for the security alarms which go off at night occasionally.
Transportation
- Taxis can be called. 10 lev into town
- Varna Airport is a 15 minute drive
Price
The family run side is very cheap, about 60 euro for a month for a 9m yacht in the water. Less on the land. All negotiable.
