Ruovesi marina can accommodate about 120 boats. Piers A and B are reserved for people with season-long berthing. Pier C acts as a guest pier for short-term berthing subject to daily charges. No reservations are taken for short-term berthing: if there is space on Pier C, anyone can berth there and, whenever a boat leaves, the berth is freed up for the next user. The new part of Pier A also has some space: berths that have a blue sign reading “VARATTU” are reserved for people with season-long berthing but berths without signs can be used freely.
