Herzliya Marina is an excellent port of call when visiting Israel. It is a port of entry and has a range of services at the marina and nearby (restaurants, hotels, marine facilities, etc). Guest dock facilities are the best of all the marinas in Israel. Easy transportation to the tourist sites in Jerusalem, etc.
Tel-Aviv marina is no longer port of entry for several years now. Visitors need to enter through Herzliya marina, about 6NM to the north of Tel-Aviv marina.
Posted on behalf of SY Tamarisk:
Eilat, Israel – entry should be arranged in advance otherwise yachts will be stopped by Israeli Navy at the border and possibly denied entry. Expect strong northerly winds the whole way up the gulf if Aqaba even on grid forecasts with light winds, it is a major funnel effect because of the high mountains on both sides.
Fact section, public transport: On Saturdays and Religious holidays there is a taxi service available. No buses/trains.
