Dover - General Info
COVID-19: OPEN PORT
Notices:
Dover Marina is temporarily closed to new customers and visitors from mid-May to the end of August 2022. Following a period of construction, final work is now being undertaken to enable the new Dover Marina and boatyard to open fully for the 2023 season.
Description:
Situated on the southeastern corner of England, Dover is the closest port to the French coast.
In spite of being a busy commercial port, yachts are very welcome here and there are good facilities in protected berths.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
The Dover area is extremely busy at all hours of the day or night. Ferries and ships enter and exit the harbor at high speeds. It is advisable to contact Dover Port Control on VHF Ch. 74 and notify them of your course and intentions, even if only passing by. Notifying them keeps you on their radar until your well out of range of the high-speed craft, ferries, or shipping. Once you have entered the Marina, you can switch to channel 80 for berth allocation.
Position:
51° 06.67’N, 01° 19.81’E (outer harbor entrance)
