On the territory of the Tricity, we have marinas in the center of each city and marinas located in Gorki Zachodnie, where the National Sailing Centre has its headquarters.
On site in addition to the place at the embankment, it is possible to use the services of a boat and mechanical workshop. The distance between the marinas in Gorki Zachodnie and the marina in Gdansk is 6 nautical miles.

Just entering the center of Gdansk is a kind of attraction. Going through the harbour canal on the left, you pass Westerplatte, then the Wisloujscie Fortress and the shipyard and harbour quays. Getting to the marina should take approx. 40 min (it is worth reporting on channel 14 to the harbour master’s office that we are sailing towards Motlawa River).

During the high season there may be problems with finding a free space, especially during the sailing meetings, the organizers allow free mooring at the Long Coast on the section from the Hilton Hotel / Swan Tower to the gas station.

The location of the marina in the center of the city gives a wide range of opportunities to spend time, both a short stay, during which we will have a tasty meal, and a few hours sightseeing of the city.

All those who want to sail from the Gdansk marina to Sopot must prepare for 6 nautical miles. After crossing the port channel and crossing the approach lane for ships arriving at the Port of Gdansk, we sail along the beach. A characteristic point that we will pass on the route is the pier in Brzezno (there is no possibility of mooring). The beach starting there, runs practically to Gdynia. After about an hour of sailing we arrive at the longest in the Baltic Sea, Sopot pier, at the end of which Sopot marina is located.

Launched in 2011, it is the only such facility in the country extending several hundred meters into the sea. After arriving to Sopot, nobody should be bored, except one of the most popular pedestrian streets in Poland, the tourist offer of the city is rich, and numerous events will allow everyone to find something suitable for themselves. For sailors who want to stay only in the marina, the Meridian restaurant awaits at the head of the Sopot pier. Every year at the beginning of August, the city hosts the world’s leading pilots taking part in the ISAF Match Racing World Championship qualifiers.
