Pretty much as stated except the main building has had a bit of an upgrade, showers (best showers in Ireland allegedly and I was impressed) are free i.e included in the mooring fees, and there is a motor home parking area now also. Really excellent facilities laundry room, kitchen, place to chill out and even a small library.
We arrived, having pre booked, at 7pm in the evening and couldn't raise any response by radio or phone so just picked a berth and they were fine with that next morning.
8.5m boat cost £54.80 for 2 nights.
Great place to visit and very friendly.

No changes

I reviewed these notes in June 2021. Nothing has changed since we last wrote, not even the price

These notes were reviewed in April 2019. Prices seem a little arbitrary and they no longer charge for electricity. I've uploaded new charts. The ECM at the entrance to the marina was blown away in the March gales but will be replaced shortly.

Thinking of visiting and will update if I do

seems particularly detailed - indeed better than the one on the Ardglass Marina site

By Don Thomson (Editor). This the old "inyourfootsteps" site. It has been much improved over the years. We at vmh tend not to put in a lot of touristy stuff but I do envy their photographic cover!

I reviewed these notes in April 2017. There were no changes except to the price. New chats have been uploaded

I enjoyed two visits to Ardglass this Summer, enroute from Waterford to Campbeltown & on the way back.
As my Westerly Centaur only draws 3ft I had no difficulties.
Fuel is close by, as the local garage/supermarket is only a few hundred yards up the street (to the right).
Nice pub enroute - strangely you would hardly know it was a pub from the outside. Forgotten the name.

I'll be back.

These notes were updated by Don in March 2015. The channel into the marina was dredged in the spring of 2014 and we have provided the latest Admiralty Chart of the harbour which was mentioned in the text of our original entry. They will be increasing prices for 2015 and now charge for shore power & showers.

These notes were reviewed on 1st November 2013 by Don Thomson. Since our original entry (which already drew attention to the discrepancies on charted depths) there have been more groundings and I have included further warnings in the notes. It would appear that the original soundings were incorrect and there has been a recent Admiralty survey which, it is hoped, will correct this. At the moment the Marina advises deep draft vessels not to make an approach an hour either side of LW. (The grounding this summer were at the lowest LWS of the year) Other than that I have updated the prices to the 2013 rates, noted the presence of the slip and addition of WiFi to the facilities.

We spent 3 days here in May 2013. We ate well at the very friendly golf club, Aldo's restaurant and also at the really excellent Chinese. A huge helping of scollops! A golfer we met at the club owned the oil business and sorted us out for diesel. There is a fish factory just out the road (10 min walk) and the owner is a yachtsman. We got 2 huge bags of really fresh monkfish, plaice and some type of flounder for £30. There was a very friendly pub in the square, the name of which escapes me. We had heard about the shallow patches near the entrance so avoided low water entrance/exit. The marina staff were friendly and the facilities of a good standard. We passed 3 pleasant days there waiting for the winds to settle, the rain to stop and the temperature to rise. Life could have been worse.
