Facilities include showers, restrooms, a laundromat, ice for sale, a sewage water facility, a boat ramp, a lifting crane and a Travel Lift for 150 tons. There is a petrol station supplying diesel and RON 95 petrol. The harbour has a boatyard, two shipyards, workshops and nautical shops, plus a car park. The yacht club has a restaurant with a terrace, a swimming pool and a nautical library. Supermarkets and shops are in Arenys de Mar town centre, about 500 metres away.
