Full Description & Details
Club Nautico Rio Piedras is a marina in El Rompido, in the province of Huelva, Andalusia, Spain. It sits on the Gulf of Cadiz, near the border with Portugal and within reach of the Donana National Park. The marina is part of a plan to replace roughly 3,000 traditional moorings in the Rio Piedras estuary with pontoon berths, and it is one of five such clubs on the river. The first phase opened in 2014 at Punta de la Barreta, next to El Rompido, and the full project was designed for 338 boats, with the first phase holding 200 recreational craft between 5 and 12 meters.
Today the marina offers 330 berths for boats up to 12 meters LOA and a maximum draft of 3 meters. The marina is open year-round, and check-in is via a lockbox. Overnight stays are permitted. The holding is on pontoons, and the marina has security gates, showers, and toilets.
The price band is moderate, and the phone number is +34 959 53 60 00. Facilities include a cafe bar on-site, fresh water, electricity at 16 amps, a hardstand, haul-out services, launching facilities, trailer boat storage, and car parking. A supermarket and shops are within walking distance in El Rompido, and restaurants are nearby. The town is about 500 meters away.
The marina also has a sailing and fishing school for members and visitors. For navigation, the marina monitors VHF channel 9. If you cannot get a berth, an alternative is to anchor in the Rio Piedras estuary, about 0.5 nautical miles from the marina. The marina is a practical stopover for the Costa de la Luz, with the historic town of Huelva, the Rio Tinto mining park, and Seville within reach by land.
