Falmouth Marina sits on the south bank of the Penryn River, the first creek on the western side of the Fal Estuary, approximately one nautical mile northwest of Falmouth Docks. The marina is operated by Premier Marinas and can berth vessels up to 18 metres.

Approach via the buoyed channel, monitoring VHF Ch 80. Boats drawing 1. 7m or more should avoid arriving within 1. 5 hours of low water springs.

A shallow mud bank near the entrance splits the main river channel from the marina channel; keep close to the outer pontoons and follow the marked marina channel rather than the main river buoyage. The marina is divided in two by a sill that dries to 1.

8m above chart datum, though 2m of depth is maintained on either side. Visiting boats should moor at the visitors' hammerhead pontoon on arrival.
