Docking:
Mooring is mostly in marinas/harbors. There are no mooring buoys in Poland. Anchoring is possible outside of channels and harbor approaches, but there is lack of shelter on this coast. In marinas/harbors yacht crew are expected to keep quiet after 2200. Rafting out is customary, although always ask permission first and fender well.
Navigation:
Entry to Polish sea harbours (other than Świnoujście and those in Gdansk Bay) can be dangerous in strong onshore winds (F5 and above). It is best to call the harbour master and enquire about conditions, traffic, depths, etc before entering.
All Hydrographic Office of the Polish Navy (HOPN) charts of the Polish coast are electronically available and updated weekly in OpenCPN format (oeSENC) at the following website: https://o-charts.org/. Paper charts can be obtained from chandleries near the major marinas.
Wind farms are planned on the Słupska Bank. Construction areas will be marked on charts prior to work commencing.
Repairs:
There are good repair facilities and workers in Poland, ask the marina for recommendations. Sailmakers can be found in Gdańsk, Gdynia and Szczecin.
