Bangor Marina

Bangor Marina

Bangor Marina is the second largest marina in Ireland and is located in the centre of the town of Bangor, Northern Ireland. The Marina is one of 35 marinas internationally that has been awarded Five Anchors by the Yachting Harbour Association.

The Marina has also been awarded the "Blue Flag" for attention to environmental issues in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001.

Since opening in 1989, it has grown steadily and now has berths for nearly 600 craft. Sailors are attracted by its unrestricted 24 hour access, proximity in the centre of a quality resort and its facilities and events.

It is in an area that has been known for it yachting opportunities for more than a century. Four long-established yacht clubs are located in the Borough: the Royal Ulster, the Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club, Ballyholme Yacht Club and Holywood Yacht Club. All hold regattas, sailing series and championship events throughout the season.

Bangor Marina also has a small Lifeboat Station.
