Asya Port

Shelter by wind direction

Sheltered from every direction.

Shelter is estimated from open water and swell, not from wind strength: a strong wind can still gust over the land.

Seabed, depth and room

Satellite imagery shows light, sandy patches around the anchoring spot.

Good holding.

Approach

Approach through a channel or a harbour entrance: routes end about 0.8 NM off, then continue at reduced speed.

Protected area and seagrass

Asya Port lies in the protected area Marmara Denizi ve Adalar Special Environmental Protected Area: check its rules (anchoring, speed, buoys) before you arrive.
