 The marina at Setubal - Click for larger view
| |
Setubal is a busy commercial port - the third largest in Portugal - sited at the estuary of the River Sado about 12 miles east of Sesimbra. There is a small marina, the Doca de Recreio das Fontainhas in one of the commercial basins, but it rarely has space of visiting yachts. However, while it lacks some of the facilities of the larger marinas along this coast, it has excellent shelter and good transport links into Lisbon. A visiting yacht is likely to have more luck with the new Troia Marina two miles due S of Setubal across the estuary.

From the north: The coast should be given a clearance of at least 0.5 mile to avoid Cabo de Ares and its off-lying rock
From the south: - The entrance to the estuary is about 35 miles from Cabo de Sines on a course of 355º.

Stay in the buoyed channel favouring the N side when approaching Forte de Santiago do Outao. Leave the W cardinal mark off the Troia peninsula to starboard. The Doca de Recreio das Fontainhas is in the third basin to port, past the fishing harbour and the small basin belonging to the yacht club. If intending to berth at Trioa Marina, round the cardinal mark and head for the northernmost tip of the Troia Peninsula.
Note: there are heavy seas on the ebb with strong SW winds. The ebb can often run up to 3-4 knots at springs. Be alert for ferries and commercial traffic at leaving the basins.
