Full Description & Details
Club Nautico Juan Sebastian Elcano is a marina in Elcano, on the Bay of Cadiz in Andalusia, Spain. The harbour is marked as a marina and harbour in OpenStreetMap, and overnight stays are permitted. It sits within the wider bay, a busy stretch of water shared with commercial traffic and other recreational facilities, so skippers should treat it as one part of a larger port complex rather than an isolated anchorage.
The marina offers berths for visiting yachts, with overnight accommodation available. The holding and shelter depend on the specific berth and the prevailing conditions in the bay; the bay itself is open to the Atlantic and can be affected by strong winds, particularly the Levante. Depth at the entrance and alongside the pontoons is not documented in the available sources, so check local charts and the harbour office before committing to a berth.
Facilities on site are limited in the sources. There is no mention of fuel, water, electricity, or a chandlery at this specific marina. The nearest services are likely in the surrounding town of Elcano or elsewhere in the Bay of Cadiz, but the sources do not confirm what is available. For repairs or supplies, plan to use the wider area's resources.
Safety notes: the Bay of Cadiz has significant commercial shipping, so keep a sharp lookout when approaching and leaving. The best season for a stopover is typically the summer months, when the weather is more settled, but the sources do not provide specific seasonal guidance. There are no documented restrictions beyond normal harbour regulations. Always confirm berth availability and any local rules with the marina office on VHF or by phone before arrival.
How to get there
Approach the marina from the Bay of Cadiz, keeping clear of the main shipping lanes that serve the nearby ports. The marina is located at approximately 36.5017 N, 6.2563 W, on the southern shore of the bay. There are no specific waypoints, channels, or hazards documented in the sources, so rely on standard nautical charts for the area and watch for local traffic, including ferries and fishing vessels.
For land access, the marina is in Elcano, which is connected by road to the rest of the Cadiz area. The nearest airport is likely Jerez or Cadiz, but the sources do not specify. Formalities are not described; contact the marina office directly for berthing arrangements and any check-in procedures.
