Marina.wiki^™ is free. Used by thousands of people each month. Many actively contributing and improving the knowledge.

To find a marina or mooring:

• search by text
• explore the map
• browse countries

While the original focus was on marinas the wiki now also includes six additional categories of moorings, the resulting seven types of moorings are defined as:

• Marina: sheltered quayside or pontoon access to a minimum set of facilities (toilet, shower, water, and electricity). Within a natural or man-made harbour or port.
• Port: a man-made commercial shelter with a quay for loading or unloading goods, often large and may have a marina or quay inside.
• Harbour: a man-made or natural shelter. May have a jetty, quay or buoys inside. Missing at least one of the four basic facilities provided by a marina. Not all harbours are equal: they vary in depth and size, they may have restricted tidal access or be fully or partially drying. We indicate the key differences on maps and in harbour pages: refer to the keys to maps.
• Quay: a solid stone structure without the shelter of a port used to load or unload goods. Quays run parallel with the coast.
• Jetty/Pier: a wooden or solid structure projecting into the sea that may float with the tide and be secured by vertical piles.
• Buoys: a small or large collection of buoys located within a harbour, river, bay, or cove.
• Anchorage: a location with a history of being used to set anchor within a river, bay, cove or channel.

East Cowes Marina: With the exception of a few berths, the marina is dredged to 2m. We've happily moored Clipper round-the-world yachts, Swan 60s and even a Volvo 70. Very deep draught yachts should check clearance at the chain ferry. The marina office, washrooms and laundry are located in the Octagon building, near L and M pontoons and the main access ramp. The office is open 8am to 5pm in the winter, and 8am to 7pm in the summer, extending to 8pm or later during July and August. We have a wide range of tourist and travel information, and can advise on days out and places to eat and more. See more featured marinas
