Up until now there has only been 2 visitor moorings complements of local sailing school Aquatrek. Although still in the planning stages, it is hoped that the building of the marina will commence in the coming months and completion is expected by early next year.
The man behind the marina is local developer Jerry Dennehy, and he is delighted to be bringing such a development to the town ‘Youghal deserves to be seen as a fantastic place to visit and by building this marina I hope to boost the profile of the town to both foreign and Irish boat owners alike’.

After spending much of his years living in Australia Mr.Dennehy has come home with a fresh pair of eyes and the drive to make Youghal a “must stop spot” on the tourist map, saying ‘We have a beautiful town with everything a tourist could need, all we need to do is let people know we are here’.
