Hout Bay Yacht Club Marina sits within Hout Bay Harbour on the Atlantic coast, approximately 12 nautical miles south of Cape Town, at coordinates S34 03. 070 E18 20. 983.

The marina is integrated into the working harbour alongside fishing trawlers and a fish market, offering moorings for vessels up to 54 feet (16. 5 m) LOA.

It accommodates sailing and leisure craft in a secure, guarded facility with views of the surrounding mountains.

Visiting boats should approach via published waypoints and can attempt radio contact with the Marina Manager on VHF CH-71 (call sign Hout Bay Marina). Arrivals are required to complete marina forms upon signing in.

The harbour is exposed to strong westerly and southwesterly winds, with katabatic gusts off the mountains particularly common during the southern winter months of June through August.
