Welcome to Yachtport SA

Yachtport SA, is a purpose designed and built Blue Flag Marine lift facility as well as a luxury yacht marina which is situated in the Port of Saldanha, 60 nautical miles northwest of Cape Town. Located in South Africa’s largest natural deepwater port, the marina also has a fully equipped boat yard with the only indoor yacht maintenance and repair workshop in Southern Africa.

Yachtport is also one of the first Blue Flag Marinas in South Africa, with this status we endeavour to hold high everything Blue Flag represents - The Blue Flag Programme promotes sustainable development in freshwater and marine areas. It challenges local authorities, beach operators, Yacht and Marina management to achieve high standards in:

*Environmental Management, Environmental Education, Safety and Security and lastly the most important, water quality.

Over the years, the Blue Flag programme has become a highly respected and recognised eco-label, working to bring together environmental, tourism, educational and economic sectors at local, regional and national levels.

The main purpose of the facility is to launch newly built yachts and to provide facilities for the preparation of the yachts for their delivery voyage. The facility is also open to other boat owners and operators, as it is able to accommodate other pleasure craft in the Western Cape or those passing around our shores requiring haul out, inspection, repairs or refurbishment.

 The marine lift facility has the largest travel lift in the country and capable of handling catamarans and mono hulls of up to 26m loa or 9m beam width and up to 100 ton displacement.
