THE MARINA GATE
The Marina pond is maintained at a level of 5 metres (16.5ft) above chart datum by means of a sill gate. Depth gauges and light signals clearly show when entry and exit are possible. Green light for entry, Red light for exit and Red and Green lights together — Marina Closed. This can be taken as 3 hours each side of high water, the actual period differing slightly with Springs and Neaps. A digital gauge showing the depth of water (in metres) above the sill gates is situated at the entrance to the Marina.

ENTRY TO THE MARINA
When the Marina is accessible, craft will be directed by the Pierhead Control signals—and also the Harbour control dories at peak periods—to transit the Commercial harbour and proceed to the area reserved for visiting craft. Craft arriving when the sill gate is closed or when the main harbour is closed to pleasure craft for the movement of commercial traffic should proceed to the Yacht Basin which is situated on the starboard hand immediately before the Victoria Pierhead. Entry to La Collette Yacht Basin is available at all states of tide.

HOLDING AREAS
At La Collette Yacht Basin there is alongside mooring for up to 60 yachts. There is also a large holding pontoon to port of the Marina entrance at the head of the Commercial Harbour. When access to the Marina is possible, the Marina Attendants will assist visiting craft to transit the commercial harbour when as previously mentioned, the Pierhead Signals must be closely observed.

VISITING CRAFT: BERTHS
Visitors are normally accommodated on Piers A,D, E, F and G which are in the northern part of the Marina. Pier D & E have individual finger pontoons suitable for craft up to 11 metres in length and Piers F and G are used for alongside berthing, craft Iying 2 or 3 deep if necessary. The depth in the Marina is a minimum of 6ft with an area of 9 ft depth in the vicinity of the entrance and Pier A. Craft whose draught is over 6ft or is over 12m long should therefore advise the Duty Attendant on arrival so that a suitable berth may be allocated on Pier A.

The Marina Office
The Marina Office is situated at the head of the access ramp where dues can be paid and information obtained.
