PV is a commercial marina and it is unfair to contrast its pricing philosophy from that of the yacht club we were previously staying at. Suffice to say, at PV if you want anything you will have to pay for it. This applies to Water, Electricity, Internet and Laundry. We are on F dock, a wide concrete dock with plenty of room to store bicycles next to the boat and stands to lock them to. We are allowed to ride along the docks. Some long-term visitors have even installed satellite dishes on the dock. Separate storage is available for dinghies and other equipment.

The main reason to select Port Vell for wintering over is that there are more liveaboards in Port Vell than the surrounding marinas. This means more neighbors and a more social atmosphere. The Marina is quieter than Reial Club Maritim de Barcelona (RCMB), being located a little further away from the main throngs of tourists. It also has less traffic noise at night. It is usually full for the winter with a long waiting list but it is worth noting that persistence and a personal visit pays off.

The Marina is usually completely full during the winter and boats range from some in the 30-35 foot range to the majority at around 45-55' and on up to several hundred feet. All the boats are moored bow or stern to, with laid moorings tailed to the dock.

Marina radio contact

Hail the marina at VHF channel 68.

Navigation/Approach

PV is pretty well protected from swell, and the only swell we have noticed thus far comes from the commercial fishing boats when they return from their daily work at around 4:30p.m. for half an hour or so.

Berthing

24 hour assistance.

Marina facilities

  • Waste disposal including black and grey water, hazardous waste and recycling residue collection
  • Waste collection
  • Harbourmaster, reception, customer service
  • Controlled vehicle access

Repairs

Haul-out?, yard?, etc.

Security

Security appears to be better than at RCMB. This is a much larger marina, with substantially larger boats. There are two card key operated gates separating the finger piers from the general public and a security detail on duty 24/7.

Marina location

PV is in the same former commercial harbour complex as RCMB. This marina is closer to Barcelonetta but all the comments for RCMB apply here also.

Transport

List transportation (local and/or international. Bus service to town?)

Price

Provide price information. If possible add a link to the marina's pricing page.)
