yacht harbor

Pleasure craft moorings

A yacht harbor is a sheltered waterfront area where recreational boats and sailing vessels can dock, moor, and receive services.

The term overlaps with marina, though yacht harbor may suggest a larger facility or one catering to more substantial vessels: The yacht harbor was packed with sailboats during the regatta.
