For visiting boats
Carlingford Marina lies just north of Carlingford village on the southern shore of Carlingford Lough, the fjord-like inlet between the Cooley and Mourne mountains on the border with Northern Ireland. It has 170 berths with places kept for visitors, shore power and fresh water from its own well at every berth, showers and laundry. The boatyard has one of the largest travel hoists in Ireland (50 t), a 16 t crane for masts, a slipway and dry storage for around 30 large boats, and the Rabelo café-bar sits on the marina, with the Carlingford–Omeath greenway running past.
- Guest berths
- Visitor berths available – book directly with the marina office (VHF 37/M1). Mast stepping with the 16 t crane must be arranged a week ahead.
