Nuuk Harbor is not accepting any sail boats to either moor or anchor due to overcrowding. Some small bays around are available for anchoring but with no kind of access, facilities or service. Nuuk's Harbour Master has announced that starting in 2025, only passenger cruise ships will be permitted to enter the harbor.
Our thanks to Victor Wejer, OCC Port Officer, for this information.
Nuuk is the capital, the largest city of Greenland and the seat of government for the Sermersooq municipality. It is however probably one of the smallest capital cities in the world by population.
It is located at the mouth of the Nuup Kangerlua (Danish: Godthåbsfjorden) inlet on the west coast of Greenland, about 240 kilometers (150 miles) south of the Arctic Circle and is open all year.
The old city name was Godthåb ("Good Hope") in Danish, although since 1979, when home rule was granted to Greenland, the official name of the city has been Nuuk, its Greenlandic name.
The town centre is a 20 minute walk up the hill from the harbor and left at the roundabout. Everything is available in Nuuk, three different supermarkets, even a mall with everything you can dream of at European quality.
