For visiting boats
Howth Yacht Club's 250-berth marina lies in front of the clubhouse in Howth Harbour, a fishing and yachting harbour on the north side of Howth Head, 30 minutes from Dublin city. Visitors are welcome all year on the pontoon hammerheads; berths have 220 V power and water, and diesel is sold at the crane pontoon while the marina office is open. Club showers and changing rooms, a 24-hour token laundry, an on-site crane and the clubhouse bars are next to the pontoons. Approach through Howth Sound and mind the drying banks either side of the marked channel at low water.
- Guest berths
- Visitor berths are on the hammerheads at the northern end of each pontoon. Call VHF 37 (M1) or 80 on approach and check in at the marina office by the gate. The marina has areas of reduced depth – check the tide, keep between the entrance markers and close to the green pier-head light. Catamarans +50 %.
