This is a new marina with 800 berths. Facilities include fuel, power, water and a 60-ton travel-hoist with repair services. 

Ashdod 31°50'·N 34°38'·2E   A commercial harbour which is effectively the port of Tel Aviv. There is a small harbour serving a power-station a mile or so N of Ashdod – don't confuse the two. The new marina in the south of the port is now open and is reputedly the least expensive in the Mediterranean. 

Note that this is not a port of entry for yachts and you must go to Ashkelon first to clear in.

Call the Israeli Navy on Ch 16 when 30–40M out. They will meet you on your way in. Hold close to the starboard breakwater on approach to clear a reef to port that is indistinctly marked. Your boat may be checked by a military security squad on arrival. CIQ formalities are completed at nearby Ashdod.
Ashkelon is pretty obvious from the sea, although it is not a large city. There are three small islands off the beach to the S of the town.


600 berths including visitors' berths. Max. LOA 30m. 220V on all berths. Showers, etc. Fuel. 100-ton travel-lift. Repair facilities. Full range of provisions. 


A brand new marina, Ashkelon is 56km S of Tel Aviv. It has the reputation of being a popular beach resort and an expensive one. Ashkelon has a number of interesting ancient ruins, conspicuously those at the nearby site of a 4,000 year old Canaanite city, overlain by more extensive Philistine remains, now part of a national park. 

The marina layout is much the same as the marina at Tel Aviv, the entrance on the NW corner. CIQ procedures are completed at the marina. Prices are reasonable so it is popular. Provisioning, on the other hand, is expensive. E-mail hook-up is possible at the marina office. Haulout facilities available.
