Check-in facilities
Submit details about facilities for checking in - where to dock, etc.
- 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.

List Islands
- Water is VERY shallow North of the Pier (0.3m East of the breakwater) though charted depth (2010) is good.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
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!
- The Joseph Conrad Yacht Klub [1] 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 - [email protected]
- A chandlery is onsite [email protected]
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.
