Port Said - Docking
The Suez Canal Authority are currently developing all yacht-related services and infrastructure in the three Canal Cities (starting with Ismailia Marina). Lots of services are planned including maintenance, yacht cleaning, toilets & showers, business center, club house, barber shop, ATM, kids play area, medical service, garbage service, coffee shop & restaurant, Laundry, water & electricity etc. They are also working towards having a digital documentation service for the transiting/berthing yachts.
The Ismailia Yacht Marina is currently being upgraded and is expected to be completed by April 2023. Once the development work in Ismailia is complete, improvements will begin in Suez and Port Said.
To book a berth or enquire/ask questions, contact the Suez Canal Authority at yachtsmarina@suezcanal.gov.eg.
Currently, cruisers don’t recommend staying at this port. Apart from the moorings being affected by the wash of traffic leaving the canal, you are likely to be charged whatever the numerous officials think that they can get away with.

Reported by Agent – Prince of the Red Sea:
Port Said has increased the price for the port clearance from 40$ to 652$ for any sailing yacht transiting southbound. Port Said is the only way to go to the Suez Canal, southbound.
I have one boat now arrive at Port Fouad Marina wishing to transit south, but the port authorities are asking for the new rules 88 2018.
Which is the new fees of 652 $ for port clearance.
The yacht was forced to leave the marina in 30 knots of wind at night because he had no money to pay the 652$. The yacht finally went back to the Mediterranean and changed their plans.
The 652 $ is only for the port clearance. For example, yesterday that boat if he allowed for the transit he has to pay:
Suez Canal dues – 400$
Port Clearance – 652$
Total 1052$ for yacht 13 meter, without the agent fees.
Very bad.
For your info. we have no problems in Suez at all for yachts going northbound, still with the normal fees.
So in Port Said now, the cost for all foreign flag yachts from 1 meter to 18 meter – clearance fees 652$.
If over 18 meter – 850$.
