Where are the yachts refueled?
Refueling of yachts is carried out in specially equipped places called marinas and yacht clubs. Here are the main ways and places where you can refuel a yacht:
Marinas and yacht clubs
Marinas and yacht clubs are specially equipped harbors for yachts and boats, where various services are provided, including refueling. In such places, there are usually fuel stations with diesel and gasoline. Examples of popular marinas:
- Port Hercule in Monaco
- Marina del Rey in California
- Dubai Mina Seyah (Dubai Mina Seyahi)
Commercial port gas stations
Some commercial ports also offer refueling services for yachts. These ports can serve both large commercial vessels and private yachts. Examples: - Port of Valencia (Port of Valencia, Spain)
- Port of Hamburg (Port of Hamburg, Germany)
Floating gas stations
In some areas, there are floating gas stations that can sail up to the yacht for refueling. This is convenient in remote or less equipped places where there are no stationary fuel stations.
Refueling ships
In large yachting regions such as the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, there are refueling ships that can deliver fuel directly to a yacht anchored or sailing.
Self-refueling
For small yachts and boats that use gasoline, it is possible to refuel using cans. This is a less convenient, but sometimes necessary method in remote locations.
Examples of marinas with gas stations:
Porto Montenegro (Montenegro): offers a full range of yacht services, including refueling.
Port Vauban (Antibes, France): one of the largest marinas in the Mediterranean with extensive refueling facilities.
Marina di Porto Cervo (Sardinia, Italy): Popular among superyacht owners, it offers high-quality services and fuel.
Refueling a yacht requires planning and taking into account the availability of fuel stations on the sailing route, especially in remote and hard-to-reach places.
