Full Description & Details
Tarabya Marina, also known as Istmarin Tarabya Boat Park or Tarabya Tekne Park, is a municipal marina operated by Ispark in Tarabya Bay on the European shore of the Bosphorus, in the Sariyer district of Istanbul. It opened in September 2012, replacing a concrete shoreline with floating, portable piers set away from the shore to keep the water clean. The marina sits directly in the strait, with the city of Istanbul around it and the Marmara Sea beyond the Bosphorus exit.
The marina offers 208 berths with a stated capacity of 265 boats, and can take vessels up to 30 meters in length. Depths range from 3.5 to 23 meters. Berths come with electricity (16, 32 and 63 A, single and three phase) and fresh water. Holding is on floating pontoons with 24-hour escort and mooring assistance for entries and exits. Overnight stays are allowed, and short-term weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions are available.
Facilities include 24/7 extra diesel fuel, black water, bilge water, waste oil, solid waste, battery and pill collection, a fire extinguishing system, and 24-hour security personnel and camera monitoring. A ramp handles boats up to 7 meters for launching and hauling. Diving services are available on request from the front office. The marina holds Blue Flag status all year and ISO 9001, 10002, 27001 and 45001 certifications. Nearby restaurants Tarabya Kofte, Tarabya Balik and Tarabya Yemek Evi serve fresh fish and Turkish cuisine.
The marina is open all year. It is a working municipal facility in a busy urban strait, so expect strong Bosphorus current and heavy traffic rather than a sheltered leisure harbour. Contact the marina on VHF channel 73 or by phone at +90 216 635 00 45. The address is Haydar Aliyev Cad. No:174/A Sariyer Istanbul.
