Full Description & Details
Port de Colera is a small marina on the Catalan coast in the town of Colera, in the Upper Emporda region of Catalonia, Spain. It sits at the foot of the village, with the town centre close by for provisioning. The marina was commissioned in 1976 and is run by the Club Nautic Sant Miquel de Colera, which renewed its concession in 2012 and carried out improvements to the port infrastructure. It is a dry marina with a slipway and a fixed crane.
The harbour offers 150 berths for boats from 3 to 13 metres, with a maximum length of 15 metres. The entrance fairway is 40 metres wide with a depth of 5 metres, while depths inside the harbour range from 2 to 5 metres. The maximum draft is 5 metres. The port is well protected from the tramontane wind, though that wind can still be felt when it blows. Berths are available for sale or rent, with rental prices set annually depending on boat length; buying a berth requires becoming a club member.
Facilities include water and electricity at the moorings, showers, changing rooms, toilets, a restaurant, a sailing school, and a diving centre that operates from the port. There is also a 10-tonne crane for loading and unloading boats, which must be arranged through the club office. Repair and maintenance services are available, along with bilge and grey water collection, oil collection, refuse collection, a car park, and disabled access. A 2-tonne fixed crane is also listed among the port equipment.
Overnight stays are permitted. The port is part of the Ports de la Generalitat network, and the club office can be contacted by phone at +34 972 38 90 95 or by email at [email protected]. In fine weather, anchoring is possible in the Colera roadstead west of the entrance, on 6 metres of rocks and sand, though the depth decreases quickly at the far end.
