Marina Portoroz

From CruisersWiki

Marina Portoroz lies at the southern end of the town of Portoroz on the Adriatic coast of Slovenia just over two miles SE of the small harbour of Piran and two miles N of the border with Croatia. The first full-service marina to be constructed in Slovenia and dating back to 1974, the marina is a good base for over-wintering or for leaving a yacht to explore the fascinating hinterland of Slovenia. The marina offers 650 berths for yachts up to 30 metres and draft up to 3.5 metres as well as a comprehensive range of boatyard and repair services.

Communication

Contact Marina Portoroz on VHF channel 17 prior to entry.

Navigation

A tall belfry in the town of Piran, situated on a headland two miles NW of the marina, is conspicuous from some distance off. The marina of Marina Portoroz lies at the S end of the town of Portoroz, which is easily identified by the numerous high rise hotels along the coast. The marina is situated in a low-lying area which formerly was used for salt pans. Access is via a narrow, 22 metre wide channel with depths of 3.5 metres. The channel is marked with wooden posts. While there are no dangers in the approach, entry can be tricky in strong onshore winds. Once inside the marina, shelter is excellent.

Berthing

Berthing assistance available. Berths are in two separate basins either side of a central arrivals dock and refueling berth. Berths are on seven concrete piers and associated quays. All berths are equipped with wooden posts for four-point mooring.
