Full Description & Details
Real Club Nautico de Cadiz is a marina located at Punta de San Felipe, on the eastern side of the peninsula where Cadiz's old town sits, within the Bay of Cadiz in Andalusia, Spain. The marina is positioned close southwest of Puerto America and is about 200 meters from the city center, placing it right in the heart of Cadiz. It is one of the oldest yacht clubs in Spain, founded in 1905, and operates as a port of entry for the country.
The marina offers 160 berths with a maximum length of 14 meters and a maximum draft of 3.4 meters. The minimum depth in the marina is 3 meters, with a depth at the entrance of 13 meters and a 250-meter entrance channel. The holding and protection are typical of a city marina, though the surrounding waters can be noisy from commercial ship and road traffic. Overnight stays are permitted, and the marina has 24-hour security.
Facilities at Real Club Nautico de Cadiz include fuel, water, electricity, wifi, showers, laundry, and a chandlery. There is also a crane, travel lift, and repair services for haul-outs and maintenance. A supermarket is on-site, and a restaurant and bar are available within the marina. The streets along the marina are lined with additional restaurants and shops. The marina provides power at 16 amps and includes sewage pump-out and oil disposal services.
Approaching from the north, the harbor is free of dangers, but from the south, give the peninsula where San Sebastian Castle stands at least 0.5 miles clearance to avoid reefs extending to the west and north. The marina monitors VHF channel 9, and the contact phone is +34 956 21 32 62. Note that most berths are often occupied with little availability for transit vessels, so contacting the marina in advance is advisable. Cadiz Old Town, San Sebastian Castle, and Cadiz Cathedral are nearby attractions.
