Bangor Marina is the largest marina in Northern Ireland. It opened in 1989 on the southern shores of Belfast Lough close to the Irish Sea cruising routes.[1] The marina has become well known for providing a berth in the centre of Bangor. The marina has been awarded Five Anchors by the Yachting Harbour Association.

Also based at the Marina are HM Coastguard's Marine Rescue Sub Centre and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution's Atlantic 85 Lifeboat 'Jessie Hillyard'.
