For visiting boats
The Kinsale Yacht Club marina lies right in front of the clubhouse in the heart of Kinsale, in a virtually landlocked harbour on the River Bandon estuary. Members built the first pontoons in 1978 and extended them in 2003; visitor berths have at least 8 m of water and a deep-water berth takes superyachts up to 65 m. Visitors become temporary club members with the bar, restaurant, changing rooms, laundry and fitness room, and the gate is self-locking with CCTV. Kinsale is an official port of entry, with shops, buses to Cork airport and boat services all within walking distance.
