Marina:

The old east marina is for the use of local yachts. All visiting yachts are housed in the west marina.

This large marina with different sizes of finger pontoons provides excellent facilities for yachts visiting the Azorean capital. The range of repair facilities is also expanding and boats can be hauled out here. Water and electricity is available on all pontoons and fuel is available at the fuelling berth.

Cruisers have reported that swell can be a major problem in winds from east to south-west. Be prepared with bow, stern and spring lines. There are more protected berths, especially for bigger yachts, but you will need to inquire about availability.

Berths are wide with plenty of space for manoeuvring. Security is excellent with key card access, CCTV and 24hr security patrols.

Berths are reportedly now allocated on a “first-come/first served” basis with prices around 20 euros a day for 42 feet and for up to 72 feet, less than 70 euros a day. (as at June 2023)

Anchoring:

Anchoring anywhere in the harbor is prohibited.
