Carrickfergus Marina
Carrickfergus Marina sits on the north shore of Belfast Lough and has been a lively hub of the local sailing scene since 1985. You get 300 fully serviced berths with round-the-clock access, 365 days a year, right next to the iconic Norman castle and the town's waterfront. Overnight and weekly visitor rates are clearly priced, and the historic town centre is just steps away.
