Poolbeg Marinaa

Marina information

The marina is located on the south side of the River Liffey and is within the heart of the commercial Dublin docklands. In 2005 the marina underwent re-development with the construction of a new clubhouse and enlarged marina.The facility offers fully serviced berths for 100 vessels on floating pontoons with sufficient depth for most vessels at all stages of the tide.
The marina pontoons are opposite a commercial terminal and dock basin entrance where caution should be taken. In addition this stretch of water on the river is part of the busy shipping channel. Shipping traffic is particularly busy during 0600-1000hrs and 1800- 2200hrs.The approaches of the Dublin Port/Bay are subject to the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) and note fast ferry craft. Upstream of the marina is the East-Link toll lift-bridge which leads into the main section of the River Liffey and the city centre.
