Old Jaffa Port
Sail out of history — straight into a Mediterranean sunset.
About Old Jaffa Port
Sailors have been setting out from Jaffa for thousands of years, and the old port below the hillside alleys of Old Jaffa is still very much alive: fishing boats tie up along the stone quay, nets dry in the sun, and restaurant tables fill up as the light softens. It is one of the oldest working harbors in the world — and today it is also one of the most atmospheric places in Israel to step aboard a boat and head out to sea.
With Haflaga, yacht rental in Jaffa takes just a few clicks. Choose a private charter, a romantic sunset sail, or a shared per-seat cruise, and within minutes of clearing the breakwater you are looking back at a view few cities can match: the bell towers and minarets of Old Jaffa on one side, the Tel Aviv skyline on the other. Licensed skippers, transparent prices, and the whole Mediterranean ahead of you.
Parking & arrival
Old Jaffa is a busy tourist quarter, so plan your arrival with a little slack. Public parking areas serve the port and the streets around Old Jaffa, but spaces fill quickly on weekends and around sunset — arrive early or check the navigation apps for live guidance. The port itself is compact and walkable, and your meeting point on the quay is only ever a short stroll away.
