Visiting Malahide & The Marina

Malahide, a town on Ireland's east coast known locally as "the village" has a certain charm that draws people back, again and again. For the sailor, the location is ideal for cruising this scenic stretch of coastline. But when it comes to shore-leave, there is no better place for a stop-over.

Often described as a picturesque maritime village, Malahide has been the overall winner of the Tidy Town Competition and in the summer months attracts both Dubliners and tourists to enjoy the local ambience.

The sea has played a major role in the development of tourism in the town. The extensive Velvet Strand stretches to the horizon and is extremely popular with bathers and water sports enthusiasts. As a result Malahide is a popular destination for visiting yachts from both Ireland and overseas.

Visitors will find all the necessary services in the Marina's fully equipped boatyard and marina centre before attending to the task of relaxing and exploring the area. Restaurants, pubs, hotels, shops, supermarkets, banks, ATMs, a post office, leisure centre, parks and botanical gardens are all within walking distance of the marina, as are beaches, a golf course and tennis courts.

Berth holders enjoy the lifestyle all year round - this is your other life, the place you escape to on Friday evening and dream about during the week...

Marina Location

Malahide Marina is located just ten miles north of Dublin’s city centre, convenient to the M1 and M50 motorways, and well served by public transport.

Dublin International Airport is a mere four miles from the marina, and high speed ferries to the U.K. are within easy reach.

Marina Approach & Entrance

The entrance to the estuary is well marked. Boats should proceed to the Fairway Buoy (approximate position Lat. 53 27 101, Long. 06 06 811) and then proceed up the channel passing between the buoys leaving them to the appropriate side, up to the Marina entrance.

Three red and three green perch marks run from the safewater mark to just before the narrowing of the beaches. From there to the marina entrance, the channel is marked by three sets of buoys, bringing the total number of marks to six port and six starboard, marking the channel. Statutory sanction was received from irish lights for these lights; each light has a different characteristic.

As a rule of thumb and for guidance only, the depth at the Fairway Buoy is approximately 2 meters deeper than the shallowest point in the channel.
