The first thing to note about Carlingford Lough is that the NE shore is in Northern Ireland and the SW shore is in the Irish Republic.  As both Eire and N.Ireland are in the Common Travel Area along with the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man there are no immigration rules in force at present but it is unclear what "carraige of goods" rules are in force at the level of tourism! You should note that, if you are using a UK based mobile phone, calls to the SW shore are the same as calls to the other side of the English Channel from Dover; ie expensive! It’s also worth noting that dialling codes are different in Southern Ireland - numbers starting 08 are generally mobiles. If you have a ship’s cat or dog it might be wise to check on the rules regarding landing those before you set off (They might not take kindly to stoppage of shore leave!) Right, having sorted the admin out, Carlingford is more like a Norwegian Fiord than its neighbour Strangford, having steeper sides and a deeper bottom, but it resembles it in that there is a large body of water passing in and out of a narrow entrance with every tide so you need fairly settled conditions and a favourable tide to pass through. There are two approach channels to the neck at Cranfield Point; one is a straight run in on the leading marks off Greencastle the other a dog leg around the shallows to the South of Haulbowline which is subject to cross tides. Our chart shows both, with the transits to be followed.

Once through the neck you have the choice of several anchorages up the Co Down side before Warrenpoint (separate page on this site) and a Marina, Harbour and some anchorages on the Co Louth side. Further passage from Warrenpoint will take you up the river to the canal and Newry. The moorings at Warrenpoint and the canal to Newry are dealt with on a separate page on this website; for a link click HERE   (opens in a new tab) The first anchorage is off Greencastle and, although it is out of the main tide stream is still affected by it. It’s useful if you have come up with the flood from the South and made it through the narrows on the last of the flood and need somewhere to drop the pick before you get swept back out again on the ebb.  There are no facilities there what so ever; even the pier is falling down and not suitable to tie up at. Further up this side is an anchorage at Killowen Point which is the home of the Carlingford Lough Yacht Club (not to be confused with the Carlingford Sailing Club at the Marina on the other side).  This is a popular spot with easy entry and good facilities ashore when the yacht club is open (most mornings during the season). Further up there is Rostrevor which, although listed as an anchorage, has shell beds along the low water mark so one would have to anchor a fair way out to be clear of them. Between Killowen Point and Rostrevor there is fairly deep water close in at the Wood House which would provide shelter if the wind is whipping up or down the Lough making Killowen a bit choppy for anchoring. At the head of the bay is Warrenpoint which is a commercial dock and Ro-Ro ferry point. There is a pontoon here just inside the SE breakwater and although there is room to anchor there are permanent moorings and it’s not a good place to do so. There are pontoons in the Town Dock built for shell fish boats; you may be able to use one of these if you ask Warrenpoint on the radio (#12) There are, of course, plenty of facilities here. Crossing to the SW shore there are exposed anchorages off Omeath and Greer’s Quay suitable for shallow draft boats. The main destination in Carlingford Lough is Carlingford Marina. This has a room for visiting boats, ample depth both inside and in the approach and all the facilities of a modern marina with the addition of a bar and restaurant. If you can take the ground, just down the shore is the old Carlingford Harbour which dries to soft mud at low tide. This is a Council harbour and nothing to do with the marina.

Tidal Information: It is worth noting that tides at Cranfield Point.....

..... are as Liverpool so ingoing stream starts at LW Liverpool and the outgoing stream at HW Liverpool.  Out at the Hellyhunter Buoy where your approach will start the tidal streams are coastal and the change to in/out streams occurs as one gets closer in. At their height the currents will slowly increase to 3.5 kts in the approach, reaching 4.5 kts abeam the Haulbowline Light and further increase to 5kts at Greenore Point.  They then reduce quite rapidly to about 2.5 kts between the Watson Rocks and Stalka Rocks and then down to 1.5kts at the Marina. In the bight of the bay off Rostrevor there is very little tide whilst in amongst the shoals at Greencastle you can expect to be anchored in a tideway. Approach: The coast in this area, from St John’s Point to Dublin, is such that in any onshore conditions above F4 to F5, unless you are trying to make it in to shelter, it’s best to stay a good two or three miles off shore. The slope of the bottom and frequent shoals mean that the surf will start to gather quite a long way out and cause quite challenging conditions for a yacht on passage.  If intending to close with Carlingford Lough you should pick settled conditions and if unfamiliar with this coast make your approach in daylight. Coming from the North you’ll be coming down on the ebb aiming to arrive off the entrance about LW to go in on the beginnings of the flood and, if from the South, it’s a bit more ticklish because you’ll be coming up on the flood but don’t want to arrive in the middle of that but you must get there before the ebb starts (which is why you’ll probably need to drop anchor at Greencastle as soon as you get in).

There is a dredged channel all the way in which goes as far as Warrenpoint; it’s well marked with PHMs and SHMs of various shapes and sizes (mostly buoys but some permanent marks) and they are numbered, evens port and odds to starboard. It is interesting that there are more starboard marks than there are port so by the time you are halfway up the Lough you find that the No 16 to port is paired with the No 21 to starboard! From the North pass outside the Hellyhunter Rock buoy to the Initial Fix and pick up the lead in marks off Greencastle and follow them in. (the marks are tall square constructions; see photograph in our gallery) At the Initial Fix itself you’ll still be under the influence of the tidal stream parallel to the coast but as you get closer in the current into the Lough will start to take effect; it needs constant attention to keep those marks in line and, if you don’t, there be dragons to left and to right of the channel. It should be noted that ships making their way to or from Warrenpoint will be on #12 so it would be a good idea to be on that yourself before committing to the approach and be prepared to leave the channel a bit to starboard (but not too much!) to avoid them. It is possible to come inside the Hellyhunter Rock with Slievenaglogh (Eire, not the one in the Mournes to the North) just to the left of the Haulbowline Light on a bearing of 267T; this will save you a mile over going round the outside. From the South, abeam the Imogene Rock Buoy, you can make for the same Initial Fix and use the main channel but to save a bit of time (the difference is just over a mile) you could use the unmarked Hoskyns Channel. To do this leave the Imogene buoy on 031T and track towards the seaward side of Cranfield Point and stay on that (to avoid the Ballagan Spit) until the cranes on Greenore Point come onto 310T and are in line with Cloghoge Mountain up behind and a bit to the left of Warrenpoint. Follow that line until Slieve Donard (the tallest mountain to the NE in the Mourne Mountains) comes on to a bearing of 028T and then follow that bearing, with the Red No 6 Buoy on the starboard bow and the Green No 5 Buoy on the port bow, into the main channel.  The cut-the-corner routes in have been included but it would depend very much on the visibility on the day and what navaids you have onboard; if all you have is the Mark I eyeball and a hand bearing compass and the hilltops are shrouded in cloud perhaps the long way round might prove more prudent!!

Berthing, Mooring & Anchoring

Greencastle .  As has been said, this is the first anchorage inside....

They have a website:  www.carlingfordmarina.com

They have changed their pricing structure here and are now charging 25 Euros per boat per night irrespective of size Carlingford Harbour. This is still available to visiting boats but dries to a soft mud bottom and has an unusually wide entrance making it very vulnerable to winds with a Northerly component. The soft bottom means that even twin keeled boats can settle on an uneven keel as the harbour dries out.  

Greencastle . None Killowen Point. The yacht Club has showers/toilets when open and are very helpful to visitors. They also have a bar!  Rostrevor village is two miles along the shore and has most supplies. Omeath & Greer’s Quay. Omeath village has pubs, restaurants, supplies and fuel in cans from the filling station, Greer’s Quay has nothing but its slip and is two miles from Omeath Carlingford Marina . This has full marina facilities, (shore power and showers are complimentary for visiting boats) including a daytime café and an Indian Restaurant in the evenings, and Carlingford “town” is close by with more facilities for recreation. They have diesel but petrol must be obtained in cans from a garage (3 miles - the marina is amenable to giving a lift)) which also has Calor Gas. Nearest chandlery is at Warrenpoint where they stock Gaz. 

Eating, Drinking & Entertainment

All the villages around the Lough have their stores and pubs; Killowen has its Yacht Club bar and the Marina has its restaurant with spectacular views.

8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In

FoodfindsAsia.com | 8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In | Filipinos’ history as a maritime people date back to prehistoric times. In fact, the Philippines’ basic sociopolitical unit today, the barangay, traces its etymological origins to the balangay , the ancient outrigger boats that were used by precolonial Filipino communities to explore and conquer islands this side of the Pacific. As a people belonging to a seafaring culture, it’s no wonder that modern Filipinos are taking a retrospective look at their glorious past as Austronesian mariners and are developing a renewed love for the ocean and marinas as present-day yachtsmen.

Today, Philippine marinas look to accommodate more and more yachts and other pleasure watercrafts as the years go by. In 2017, an ASEAN Briefing op-ed piece named the Philippines as a country with high potential in yacht industry growth. The natural beauty of the Philippine islands and its fantastic bays, combined with a growing interest in leisurely sea travel, can explain the spike in yachting activities throughout the country.

Are you part of the demographic that’s become enamored of the yachting lifestyle? Do you want to know where in the country you can berth your watercraft? Leading sailboat and motorboat authority Europa Yachts is happy to enter the conversation, and recommends the following locations for discovering the Philippines through yachting. Here is a short list of clubs and marinas in the country, organized by island region.  

Manila Yacht Club and Marina, Manila, Metro Manila

Established in 1927, the Manila Yacht Club and Marina is one of the oldest yacht clubs in all of Asia, and is nestled in the scenic Manila Bay. It is also near other well-known landmarks in the city, such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the headquarters of the Philippine Navy, and the US Embassy. Facilities in the marina include a launching ramp and a fueling center, and the club itself is host to a restaurant and gorgeous function rooms. The Manila Yacht Club only welcomes visitors who arrive by boat, and it charges an initial security deposit of USD 750 upon arrival. Club membership is mandatory for medium and long-term mooring of boats.

Subic Bay Yacht Club, Zambales

The Subic Bay Yacht Club, which was founded in 1998, upholds itself as the country’s premier yacht club. It operates in the deepest bay in the country, and can host vessels well beyond 50 meters in length. Already benefitting from the innate beauty of the Zambales mountains surrounding it, the club hosts a number of other attractions, including its luxury accommodations, swimming pools, and its own movie theater, bowling alley, and nightclub. Those who venture outside of the club’s premises can also shop for well-priced imported goods at the Subic Freeport Zone, engage in water sports , or sign up for diving excursions.

Punta Fuego Yacht Club, Batangas

Peaceful Punta Fuego is a mecca for those who love the sport of sailing. As per its official website, the Punta Fuego Yacht Club aims to serve “a dynamic and vibrant community of boat enthusiasts and yacht owners.” This it does by playing host to a diverse population of watercrafts, from large catamarans and mono-hull yachts to small boats. Non-members of the club may use the berths for up to 3 weeks, and can refuel at the marina’s fueling station. The yacht club offers other amenities such as locker rooms, shower rooms, Internet facilities, a chart room, and a restaurant called Barracuda Bar, which serves delicious fares. Outside of the yachting crowd, Punta Fuego Yacht Club also caters to those wishing to celebrate weddings, conferences, and corporate events in their opulent quarters.

Boat owners also enjoy optimal convenience if mooring here, as they can also shop for spare parts in the nearby Batangas port.

Busuanga Yacht Club, Puerta del Sol Bay Marina, Palawan

Iloilo Sailing Club, Arevelo, Iloilo City, Iloilo

Iloilo Province is home to some of the country’s most beautiful old-world architecture, a flourishing ecotourism industry, and delectably fresh seafood cuisine.

The club accepts visitors and encourages membership in the case of medium and long-stay mooring. It also hosts a number of amenities and activities, including a dinghy storage, a beach bar and restaurant, and classes for those who want to learn about sailing.

Aside from being an ideal spot to restock on much-needed fuel and supplies, the Cebu Yacht Club is also a trusted club to commission for boat repairs.

Find a safe harbor in any of these major clubs and marinas, and participate in the renaissance of sailing in the Philippines.
