Approach and Navigation

Bumpy in a NW (the dominant wind) but pretty safe as long as you keep to the middle near the entrance. Outgoing vessels are easily spotted from outside.

Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)

If this is not a port of entry omit this section, otherwise submit details about facilities for checking in - location of immigration & customs, etc.

Berthing Options

At the time of writing anything to the West is Military including the beach, which is why is is so empty. DO NOT stop there, at best you will be frogmarched to the barracks, made to fill in some forms and interrogated by a bored soldier.

• Not advised to to park up on the East side after entrance at tourist town, since this space is busy with pirate ships and ferries for tourists. Carry on down to the Marina.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

Town Marina

The town Marina (opened September 2012) is half a mile in on the East side of entry.

• Visitors go on the South Pontoons. Never mind the thousands of Seagulls, they aren't allowed to mess on the boats.
• Leci, Water facilities and plenty of depth all round
• WC, washing machines, have lots of 1PLN and 2PLN coins

Conrad Yacht Klub

• The Joseph Conrad Yacht Klub consists of a few very keen racers who are at it at every opportunity. Ask to join a race on any summer weekend. The Kommander Jarek is very helpful and speaks good English

  EmaI

• A chandlery is onsite [[email protected] Website]
• A much larger extension to the Marina is planned to the South East of the existing marina. Progress is slow and no one is holding breaths

Anchorages

List anchorages except the ones covered under Offshore Islands below. If there are more then 2 paragraphs for a given anchorage, create a dedicated page for it (Port/Stop Template). We use headings for these so that other pages can link to them. Remove if not applicable.

Offshore Islands

• Water is VERY shallow North of the Pier (0.3m East of the breakwater) though charted depth (2010) is good

Yacht Repairs and Services

List services. If no services are available on the island write "None" and remove all the subsections (Marine Stores, & Repairs/Yards, & Fuel, Water, & Electricity.

• Tool Hire: Wypozsyczalinia Elektronari, Rybacka 6A, +48794536086 (Kuba)

At the marina.

Things to do Ashore

Tourism

List places of interest, tours, etc.

Grocery & Supply Stores

As you exit the Marina, cross the railway line then:

• Turn right down Solna then first right and right again to find fresh fish from the small fishing boats every morning
• Turn right down Solna then at first big roundabout turn left to find LIDL Superstore (also sells fresh bread!) and turn right to find Biedronke
• Another 500M at the next big roundabout, turn right and find Brico Marche (tools) and the main branch of Neptun Candlers. Adam speaks good English and they are very helpful.

Eateries

• Turn left to walk into town

Internet/WiFi

Allegedly there are free Wifis around sponsored by the City Council, in reality they do not work and no one can explain why.

Laundry

At the marina.

Motorbike & Car Rentals

Garbage Disposal

• Glass bottles and Plastics are currently all that is recycled, bins are next
• A green bin is located on site which currently takes all other trash. The [[#Town Marina|marina] is aiming to have proper disposal facilities for all kinds of waste by 2014.

Transportation

• Local busses are 2PLN, the main bus/train station is just 400M North East of the entrance to the Morski Port Jachtowy (Marina)
• Ryainair has cheap flights STN<>SZZ about half the week. The timing is tricky
• Train Kolobrzeg Kostrzewno -> Goleniaw leaves at 6.26AM (Kostrzewno is the train station 200M South West of the Marina Entrance!
• Taxi from Sczeczin Goleniaw Airport to Goleniaw : 44PLN. There are local mini-busses which leave when full for 7PLN on the right outside the train station. They are not well labelled, don't get on the wrong one
