CAptain’s Mate of the Month - Port Yasmine Hammamet, Tunisia

In October 2024, CA members Annie Varvill and Chris Boutwood visited Port Yasmine Hammamet to assess its suitability as a potential winter base for their Dufour 412.

Situated on the southeastern tip of Cap Bon, just one hour from Tunis Airport, this modern marina made a strong impression, and Annie has shared a detailed report on CAptain's Mate.

"Easy approach and good depths into marina which is modern, sheltered, quiet and well maintained," reports Annie.
