Anchorages in Romanian Black Sea North

Romanian Black Sea North — Remote coast, NE exposure, delta permits

The northern Romanian Black Sea coast becomes progressively more remote and wild as it approaches the Danube Delta. All anchorages are exposed to the dominant NE summer wind — most are fair-weather stops. The Danube freshwater plume affects water colour, visibility, and salinity from around Năvodari northward. Cape Midia has a Romanian naval exclusion zone — check charts carefully. ARBDD navigation permits are required for all delta zone anchorages north of the outer delta boundary. Chilia Channel (northernmost anchorage): the Romanian-Ukrainian border runs along the channel centre line — remain on Romanian (south) bank. Dolphins are frequently observed in this region — the Danube plume creates productive feeding grounds.
