| More notes about the Marina | |
|
The Marina da Povoa de Varzim is located at the town of the same name, 21 miles S of the harbour of Viana do Castelo and 14 miles N of the harbour of Leixoes. The marina, which is managed by the local yacht club, the Clube Navala Povoense, lies at the S end of a large harbour shared with a fishing fleet. The marina offers a total of 241 berths for yachts of up to 18 metres in depths of up to 3.0 metres.
Marina radio contact
Call Marina da Povoa de Varzim on VHF channel 09. If no answer, berth on the harmmerhead (which is also the fuel berth) and enquire at the marina office
From either north or south the projecting breakwaters of the harbour are conspicuous. The harbour is entered on a bearing of 045 degrees. If entering from the north, give the northerly breakwater a wide berth, especially with any swell running, since waves often break at its extremity. There is also an isolated rock close to the inside of the breakwater. Once in through the entrance, turn to starboard past several unlit green buoys marking shallows near the breakwater. The marina pontoons are at the southern end of the harbour.
Berthing
Berthing assistance may be provided by calling in advance on VHF channel 09. Berths are bows or stern-to on floating pontoons.
