Full Description & Details
Port esportiu de Tarragona is a marina attached to the outer side of the east breakwater of the Port de Tarragona, in the municipality of Tarragona, Tarragones, Catalonia. It borders Platja del Miracle to the northeast and sits about 1.6 km from the city centre. The marina is managed by Nautic Tarragona SA, with the Reial Club Nautic de Tarragona located a few metres away. It is part of the Costa Dorada and offers the quickest access to open sea from the port of Tarragona.
The marina has 441 berths for boats between 6 and 20 metres in length, with a maximum draft of 6 metres at the entrance. Berths are arranged with mooring lines and stern-to arrangements, and jetties have restricted access for security. All berths have water and electricity points (230-440 V), plus a waste disposal system and bilge pumps. Holding is not described in the sources, but the marina reports a 6-metre draft for safe operations. Overnight stays are permitted.
Facilities include water, power, wifi, showers, laundry, and fuel, with diesel available. The marina also offers a slipway, recycling, ice sales, bicycle and car rental, video surveillance, and a night watchman. Marina services run from 06:00 to 22:00, with security from 22:00 to 06:00. The port office is open 365 days. There is a commercial area of about 7,000 m2 with restaurants and leisure businesses nearby, and many shops close to the city centre.
For safety, the marina has 24-hour security and restricted jetty access. The historic centre of Tarragona, the Roman Tarraco site, is about 20 minutes on foot, and Platja del Miracle beach is adjacent. The marina is next to the train station, 7 km from Reus Airport and 100 km from Barcelona Airport. Best season is the Mediterranean summer, though the sources do not specify a closed season.
