We arrived at Nazaré in early September 2018. Unfortunately, Nazaré Marina has very few berths at the moment as one part of the marina is closed and vessels will have to moor alongside each other.

Overall the marine gave the impression to be run down. Cost for a vessel between the 12 & 15 m is 32.85 Euro/night.

We visited Nazare end of June 2018 and stayed in the Cluba Naval da Nazare, charges for 14-meter boat 33.00 euro a night including VAT, wifi, water and power. There are only a few visitors spots available.

In hi-season call or email ahead for a spot (emails were promptly answered), we saw one boat turned away for lack of space. Very professional and helpful with docking, very weak wifi.

We checked out Nazare Marina where we had stayed 10 years prior, Captain Mike is gone, facilities looked run down, no one in the office spoke English if Yacht Cub is full still a good alternative. Only concern; in big NW swells, the visitors pontoons appeared very exposed.

Some Extra Information:

There is a bus from the Harbour to the Market (Mercado) and also to big supermarkets LIDL and Continente (Av. Badajoz). Timetable here: http://www.cm-nazare.pt/pt/servicos/transportes

Taxi Stand Number: +351262551363 (There is a normal legal charge when calling a taxi (+3€) and another surcharge when using the boot (+3€)), So it should be around 15€/20€ to go and get supplies at the supermarket. Most drivers will speak English.

Nazare is a great gateway to discover the nearby quiet town of Alcobaca (famous for the monastery and conventual cakes) and even Batalha, Fatima. It’s well served by fast and quite often buses.
