Full Description & Details
Silivri Marina sits on the Sea of Marmara in the district of Silivri, part of Istanbul province but about 67 km west of the city center. The marina is in the Piri Mehmet Pasa neighborhood of the town, which has hotels, houses, shops, and taverns. The water depth averages 2.5 to 3.0 meters, and the maximum length overall accepted is 60 meters.
The dock is relatively high, so careful maneuvering is needed when coming alongside. The marina does not provide water, electricity, toilets, or sanitary services. Anchoring is a viable option for visitors, and nearby shops and taverns offer provisioning.
Local fishermen are hospitable, and the town has a historic bridge designed by the architect Sinan in 1568, plus Silivri Castle and the Archaeological Museum. The nearest major airport is Istanbul Airport, and Silivri is connected to Istanbul and other cities by highways.
How to get there
Boaters approaching from the Marmara Sea should navigate slowly because the marina has limited space and shallow depths of 2.5 to 3.0 meters. The dock is relatively high, so approach with caution and prepare for careful maneuvering. There is no dedicated VHF channel listed for the marina; channel 16 is the general calling channel.
By land, Silivri is about 67 km west of Istanbul via highway, and the nearest major airport is Istanbul Airport. The marina is directly on the Marmara Sea, so no canal or river transit is required.
