Tel Aviv is a coastal city with a vibrant port area and lively beach culture, which makes it an ideal stop on a cruise or luxury yachting vacation.
However, the marina within the city itself only accommodates craft of up to 20 meters (66 feet) in length, meaning a search for other berthing options will be required for the elite superyachter. Luckily those options are only a stone’s throw away, so read on for all the details you need to berth in style near Tel Aviv.
