Vigo : Profile

Docking

The Ria de Vigo is a 15 mile long arm of the sea, protected across its entrance by the Islas Cies, providing a safe, sheltered harbour.

This city is an excellent base from which to visit the towns and villages along the Vigo estuary and the Cíes Isles that form part of the National Park of the Atlantic Islands. Its origin as a fishing port has left the old town with an interesting maritime atmosphere. All marine services are available here.

There are numerous anchorages, the most attractive being near the entrance, especially on east side of Islas Cies.

Most of the marinas have limited space for vistiors. It is best to call ahead. Several of them are being, or have recently been, extended.

Mooring are also available further up the Ria, beyond the Rande suspension bridge, but watch for the shallow depths.
