I reviewed these notes in July 2022. I had a chat with the Marina owner and he's not changed his operation apart from the fact that it seems that he's become more successful and his berths are normally full. If he's got room you're more than welcome. There won't be fuel here in the near future and a shower is still on his wish list.

These notes were reviewed in May 2019. Quinton is still charging "about £15 a night" and is still trying to get funding for a shower block. Otherwise all the same but the harbour hopes to have diesel later in the summer.

As of 26/6/2018 No fuel facility at either the Harbour or the Marina. All the rest of the notes correct. Was piloted into the marina by Quinton, Very helpful.

Thanks for this - have edited the main text

I chatted to the owner, Quinton Nelson, and much remains the same; it's very informal and he welcomes visitors.

We had a great weekend down in the marina before getting lifted out washed down and antifouled.

The most friendly marina I have ever been in.

Back in the water today and a bit of a rough sail back up to Carrickfergus but I will definitely go back.

Obviously getting in and out takes planning especially with a 1.8m draft but worth it.

I hope Quinton gets to complete the plans he has for the place and recommend it to anyone either for a visit or for repairs and maintenance.

As the new owners of Copelands marina, Donaghadee, we welcome visiting boats over the summer period.

These notes were reviewed and updated by Don in March 2015. Believe it or not the marina prices haven't been changed from the 2011 rates!!

These notes were reviewed on the 12th November 2013. There no known changes and Copelands has confirmed their price for visiting boats.
