About Ashkelon Marina
Ashkelon is one of the oldest coastal cities in the region. An important port was located on its territory during the Canaanite and Philistine periods, with Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Crusaders leaving their mark later on. This is why Ashkelon National Park is interesting not only as a green area by the sea, but as a place where layers of ancient history can be observed directly along the coastline. From the water, this context is felt with particular clarity: a modern marina and the open sea neighbor a city that has been connected to maritime routes for millennia.
In the app, selecting a yacht or boat at Ashkelon Marina is seamless, allowing guests to check verified reviews, compare transparent prices, and view live availability. Family relaxation, fishing, sunset gatherings, and calm water events are popular choices. Extra services and instant online booking eliminate phone calls and complex arrangements.
