Surrounded by some of the most famous and beautiful beaches of Europe, the Marina de Portimao, which is designed to cater for yachts up to 50 metres long, has assumed the leading position in [[Portugal]] as a preferential super yachts destination.  Located in the safest harbour in the country and within the confines of the spacious Arade River estuary, the Marina is spread over a 25-hectare area, framed by the historical forts of Santa Catarina and São João and affords excellent back-up facilities.  The water in the Marina is deep, so vessels can come and go at any state of the tide. It also has a wide entrance and plenty of room for manoeuvring and is protected from the prevailing winds.
