Vila do Porto - Docking

May 27, 2025

Docking in Vila do Porto

  • The entrance to Vila do Porto Marina is via a channel between the east end of the Ferry Pier and the end of the Marina pier, marked by a green beacon.
  • If the ferry is maneuvering in the harbour, it is advisable to wait outside.
  • During a storm in December 2024 the outer pontoon in Vila do Porto was severely damaged and cannot be used. This has severely restricted the availability of berths in the marina.
  • If intending to sail to Santa Maria, it would be wise to consult the marina in Ponta Delgada before going further.
  • Anchoring is not permitted in the port area, so the nearest anchorage would be Praia Formosa on the south coast.
  • The marina is quite small, but quiet and well sheltered.  The offices are adjacent to the marina, but the toilet/shower block and laundry are at the head of the bay area.
