Regions

• Harju county and Tallinn48 harbours · 3 on MervareTallinn bay, Paldiski, Naissaar and Aegna, plus the western half of Lahemaa out to Kolga and Hara. Short legs and most services open year-round.
• Lääne-Viru county9 harboursThe eastern half of Lahemaa — Käsmu, Eru and Vergi — and Kunda bay. Deep sheltered bays between peninsulas.
• Ida-Viru county15 harboursThe eastern north coast out to Narva-Jõesuu, plus the Narva river. Harbours are sparse and legs are longer — plan a fallback.
• Lääne county21 harboursNõva, Dirhami, Haapsalu and the Matsalu approaches. Shallow, sheltered coast with small harbours close together.
• Hiiumaa26 harbours · 1 on MervareHiiumaa and the Kärdla area. Mind the Hiiu shallows and Suursäär — check depths before you commit.
• Saaremaa and Muhu49 harboursSaaremaa, Muhu, Abruka and Vilsandi. Depths in the Väinameri are modest — draft is the binding constraint here.
• Pärnu county and the Gulf of Riga39 harbours · 1 on MervarePärnu bay, the run out to Kihnu and Ruhnu, and the Pärnu river. Exposed to easterlies and westerlies — check the window before a long crossing.
• Tartu county and the Emajõgi17 harboursThe Emajõgi and the western shore of Peipus. Fresh water, shallow draft and its own navigation season.
• Jõgeva county7 harboursThe north-west shore of Peipus from Kallaste to Mustvee. A shallow lake-harbour coast.
• Põlva county6 harboursThe western shore of Lämmijärv. Small lake harbours, shallow water.
