Hafan Pwllheli Marina

Marina information

On the River Rhyd-hir, where the river enters the estuary, is the marina at Pwllheli. Owned by Gwynedd Council and operated under contract by Yacht Haven Management Ltd, the marina is the only sheltered harbour in the north of Cardigan Bay and has a capacity for 400-berths on pontoon with piles.
The marina is set back from the open sea on the estuary and it has access at virtually all states of the tide.The marina was one of the first marinas in the U.K. to be awarded a Blue Flag. In recent years the marina hosted a number of World sailing championships and hosts regattas run by local yacht and sailing clubs.
The marina is situated on the south coast of the Lleyn Peninsula and provides access to some of the best sailing waters in the UK including Cardigan Bay,Anglesey and is a 'gateway' to other marina destinations, including Ireland's east coast.
