Ayamonte Marina has been dredged in 2016 according to my pilot book and we've had no problems getting in there yesterday after coming back down the river under the bridge two hours after low water. First two pontoons (I and H) definitely have enough water for a 2m draft boat too and there was plenty of space. Some cross tide at the entrance but none inside. Friendly marina staff speaking good English. No fuel, laundry or wifi. Water and electricity on pontoons, security gates with card access, showers and toilets in office block. Paid €20 per night in early October for a 12.4m monohull.
Town offers several supermercados (Supersol a short walk away, Lidl in reach too), a well stocked chandlery, a couple ferreterias and plenty of restaurants, bars and ice cream vendors.
We have just arrived in Ayamonte on a Hylas 49 with a 2 meter draft. We arrived at low tide and had over 3 meters depth from the entrance to the dock. We were told they dredged the entire Marina late last year.
We visited Ayamonte in January 2015. Still of little use to most yachts due to limited depths. No evidence of any on-going or imminent dredging. Some yachts anchor over the shallows SE of the entrance, behind the green channel marker.

EU extends VAT grace period for non-EU boats to 18 months (23 Mar 2004)
May 2018. Ayamonte is far better choice than Portuguese Vila Real de San Antonio across the river, which is subject to strong currents. Plenty of depth to enter even at low tide, still best to check beforehand with marina office. There is a slight current in the marina from the low lying areas beyond ebbing and flooding through the marina. Office hours are limited but security guard on duty 24 hrs who will handle check in after hours and provide gate lock cards. Good chandlery, restaurants, bars and supermarkets. To visit Vila Real de San Antonio a ferry goes every hour on the hour (on the half hour for the return) at a nominal cost.
