Summary:
This redevelopment project is currently taking place and is gradually unveiling state-of-the-art facilities. It involves extensive cosmetic and structural work which will give the marina the capacity to welcome yachts up to 180 metres. Every detail has been thought through to provide yacht-owners and crew with luxury comfort, security, and high-standard support services. Marina Port Vell is also ISPS certified which is nowadays a growing requirement for the world’s largest yachts.
Marina Port Vell’s old layout only provided yachts with alongside moorings on Moll d’Espanya, the long quay located to the West. One of the features of the new port layout, is the creation of more space for the larger yachts by removing eight pontoons which were destined to smaller units and replacing them with only three piers which will house yachts from 5 m to 30 m. The new space created will enable yachts from 25 m to 70 m LOA to moor on Moll de la Barceloneta, and yachts from 40 m to 95 m to moor on Moll de Pescadors, just by the marina's office building.
Port Vell is Barcelona’s oldest port for many good reasons. It is in very accessible reach of town’s centre (half a mile from Barcelona’s cathedral), it is naturally sheltered from winds to the East by Barceloneta, and it is extremely deep, which throughout time made it possible for all sizes of ships to moor there. With depths ranging from 9 m to 14 m and no airdraft restrictions, this marina is an ideal home the largest sailing yachts which cannot necessarily find berths everywhere due to their long draft.
There is so much Barcelona has to offer to berth users with a wealth of attractions and cultural landmarks to be visited. It is one of the largest coastal cities in the Western Mediterranean. It is the capital city of Catalonia, which economically rivals with Madrid. Barcelona is one of Spain’s prime tourist destinations easily accessible from all over Europe.
Cruising from Barcelona, there are many destinations within your reach. Of course, Mallorca and the Balearic islands are only a 100 Nautical Miles South, but even closer along the Costa Brava where you will find a variety of places to anchor for week-end and day outings.

Approaches:
The large town of Barcelona is easy to spot from a distance. Its large port stretches from North to South along part of the city centre, South of a long beach and the smaller Olympic Marina. The semi-circular or sail-shaped W Hotel is conspicuous and is not far North of the port entrance which leads to Marina Port Vell. A network of suspended cable-car towers over the city’s waterfront will help you locate the main port’s area. All yachts over 500 GT must be piloted in and out of the marina. This service is available at all times.
