Youghal (IEYOU)

The port is currently closed for commercial operations. Information for the port is retained should the port reopen. Youghal is principally a recreational and fishing port. The principal export is grain and imports are coal, timber, steel and fertiliser.

Youghal is situated on the S coast of Ireland, at the head of Youghal Bay, in the estuary of the River Blackwater.

LOA 100m, draught 5m

Outer anchorage: Temporary anchorages, suitable only in moderate weather and offshore winds, are available. In the SW corner of Youghal Bay, depths from 13.0-16.0m, sand and mud, with Capel Island Tower (51°52.9'N 007°51.1'W), bearing between 195° and 235°, distance 0.3-0.5nm. Also available Off Whiting Bay 51°57.0'N 007°47.0'W. In unsettled weather or with onshore winds vessels are recommended to remain under way. Inner anchorage: Below Ferry Point a vessel should moor in the narrow channel of the fairway; the anchorage is subject to a considerable swell at HW during S gales. Above Ferry Point is the best anchorage, the recommended berth with good holding ground lies approx 0.125nm NW of the point in a depth of 6.0m, although is still subject to a swell at HW during SSW gales. Vessels over 50m should only anchor for a single tide period, as the swinging area is restricted by shallows, particularly at LW.

East Bar: The recommended approach is to make for a position 1.75nm SE of the harbour entrance, keeping E of Blackball Lightbuoy (51°55.5'N 007°49.0'W). Clearing Line: The line of bearing 216° of Capel Island Tower (51°52.9'N 007° 51.1'W) passes seaward of Bar Rocks and Blackball Ledge. When clear of Blackball Ledge, the white sector (295-307°) of Youghal Light leads through the fairway of East Bar. When Ferry Point (0.75nm inside the harbour) bears 354°, the recommended track leads N into the harbour. West Bar: West Bar crosses the W part of the bar, may be more convenient for vessels arriving from W. From position 51°53'N 007°50'W, approx 0.5nm E of Capel Island, the line of bearing 359° of Ferry House (51°57.3'N 007°50.3'W), leads towards the harbour entrance, passing 0.15nm W of Bar Rocks Lightbuoy (W cardinal) 51°54.8'N 007° 50.0'W which marks Bar Rocks (0.35nm NNE). The white sector (351°-003°) of Youghal Light indicates the fairway until within 0.5nm of the light. From the entrance the recommended track leads N, keeping approx 0.05nm from the W shore, to the anchorage or alongside berth.
