MARINA VISIT

Greystones Harbour Marina, Ireland

At the heart of the Irish Sea and less than an hour from Dublin in County Wicklow, Greystones caters for both urban and rural tastes. The marina opened its doors in 2013 and has rapidly grown from 100 berths, so that it can now accommodate up to 250 sailing yachts and motorboats from 6-30 metres.

The marina is located at the heart of the spectacular development, which has involved a massive reconstruction and modernisation of Greystones’ centuries-old harbour. This is edged by beaches on either side with stunning views across Bray Head to the North, the Sugarloaf and Wicklow Mountains to the West and on a clear day when gazing across the Irish Sea to the East, the West coast of Wales can be spotted.

The high quality of service, excellent facilities and ease of access at Greystones Harbour Marina have all contributed to the roaring success of this relatively new marina, which has seen occupancy nearing full capacity during the Summer months.

Visitors and berth-holders benefit from all the necessary facilities such as shore power and water services, toilets and shower facilities. The onsite boatyard offers hard standing and there is a 30 ton mobile boat hoist available for haul-outs. There is also free Wifi available to everyone, local maps and guides, and the friendly and helpful marina staff are always on hand to provide advice and guidance.

The marina complements the many long-standing watersports clubs in the vicinity of which the Greystones sailing club is the most prominent with over 350 active members, thriving dinghy and cruiser sections and a phenomenal new club house. Other facilities in the harbour include an angling club, dive club, sea scouts and various water-based leisure activities.

The development of the marina was undertaken by BJ Marine Ltd, which has over 40 years’ experience in the marine industry. The company offers on-site boat sales and yacht brokerage. It is the largest yacht broker in Ireland, with offices in Belfast, across the Irish sea in Pwllheli, North Wales, and Cardiff, South Wales, as well as catering to the Mediterranean from an office in Malta.
