The marina is currently at full capacity with two pontoons out of service. Unfortunately, no berthing is available.
We recommend contacting VHF 13 or calling 00302610273896 for alternative berthing at Quay 9 near the tugs in the old port.
Please be advised that Quay 9 may not have the same amenities as the marina.

From the bustling hub of Patras Marina to the quieter charm of Rio Marina, you’ll find a plethora of ports and marinas to accommodate your vessel. Patras Marina, with its modern facilities, is your starting point for day trips or extended journeys. For a more relaxed atmosphere, Rio Marina on the opposite shore offers breathtaking views of the city. And for a truly authentic experience, anchor in the traditional fishing harbour of Xylokastro, where you can savor fresh seafood and witness the local fishing life.
Beyond the marinas, the coastline around Patras offers idyllic anchorages and picturesque beaches. The crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Corinth beckon you to swim, sunbathe, and explore the underwater world. Seek out secluded coves like the hidden gem of Agios Nikolaos, tucked away near Rio, or the vibrant beach of Kalogria, known for its turquoise waters. For an adrenaline rush, set sail towards the Ionian Islands, where the wind whips up exciting sailing conditions.
Explore the city of Patras itself, and be transported to a world of ancient history and modern culture. Visit the imposing Venetian Castle, a testament to the city's rich past, and wander through the charming cobblestone streets of the old town. Indulge in the vibrant nightlife of the city, savor the delicious local cuisine, and immerse yourself in the enchanting Greek hospitality. Remember, though, that the myth of the Cyclops may be true, but don't worry, we'll steer clear of any one-eyed monsters in our journey!
