Surveying in Foça: marinas and haul-out
Oasis Marina Yeni Foça opened in 2023 as the first yacht marina between Ayvalık and Çeşme. It has roughly 230-245 berths afloat and space for 100 boats ashore, for yachts up to 30 metres. With haul-out and maintenance services on site, hull inspection and moisture readings can be done there. İzmir city is about 30 minutes away.
In Eski Foça, the municipal Fok Marina on the Büyükdeniz side takes around 125 boats on laid moorings, mostly local yachts, and there is a slipway yard in town.
Haul-out is arranged with the marina. For reliable moisture readings the boat should have been ashore and dry for at least one week; the sea trial can be on the same day or separately.
Local points
- Protected area: Foça’s coast and islands lie within a Special Environmental Protection Area declared for the Mediterranean monk seal; anchoring and navigation rules apply around the islands.
- Wind: the summer northerly builds in the afternoon, so sea trials are planned for the morning.
- Foreign-flagged boats: Yeni Foça is a port of entry for clearance in and out.
- Typical boats: mid-size sailing yachts and cruising motor boats; larger yachts have started to come with the new marina.
