Carrickfergus Marina also known as 'Carrickfergus Waterfront' is situated on the north shore of Belfast Lough and provides two harbours for craft. Firstly, the harbour with its 12th Century Norman Castle. Secondly, the purpose built marina basin located only 250 metres west of the harbour opened in 1985. Both harbours embody rugged rubble stone breakwaters, which are first rate wave calming measures during rough seas, absorbing energy from the heavy swells.
It provides 300 berths, is professionally supervised and offers individual access to water and electricity. Fuel services are at hand and the complex also provides lifting equipment.
The Marina is well located in the hub of activity close to a modern complex accommodating restaurants, children's play facility, a multi screen cinema, convenient superstore, a sailing club and a bar/restaurant overlooking the marina.
