 | Local chartlet |
The Ria de Viveiro is situated on the coast of NW Spain around 25 miles WNW of the Ria de Ribadeo and about 35 miles E of the Ria de Cedeira. The ria is little more than a mile-wide bay with a canalise river, the Rio de Viveiro, flowing into it. The picturesque fishing harbour of Celeiro lies at the SE corner of the ria and just under a mile up the canalised river from Celeiro is the town of Viveiro and its small marina. A visiting yacht can either anchor in the harbour of Celeiro or, with care, navigate up the river to the marina at Viveiro. Shelter in Celeiro is good, although strong N winds can cause some swell; shelter in Viveiro is excellent.

Local Weather
The ria is largely sheltered from the prevailing NW winds, but strong northerlies can raise an unpleasant swell.
Sources for Weather forecasts:
- See Spain
The entrance is free from dangers, but can be difficult to spot in poor visibility. As is usual along this coast, there are several offshore rocky islets and reefs along the coast to both E and W of the ria.
Berthing options
Visiting yachts have two main options in the ria: anchoring in the fishing harbour of Celeiro at the head of the ria or entering the canalised river to proceed to the marina at Viveiro.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
Marina Viveiro {Coord|43|0.96|N|07|35.69|W|}}
offers 225 berths for yachts up to 30 metres in depths of up to 3.0 metres. Berthing is on finger pontoons. Water and electricity on the pontoons. Fuel berth. Toilets and showers. Wifi. Laundry. Travel lift (35T). Crane (8T). Small area of hard standing. Contact Marina Viveiro on VHF channel 9. Telephone: +34 690 604452. Website. Email.
Anchorages
The only suitable spot to anchor is in the harbour of Celeiro. The harbour is often busy with fishing boats, but yachts are tolerated as long as they anchor sensibly. Anchor in the S part of the harbour, to the W of the small craft pontoons, in 5.0 – 6.0 metres. The holding is excellent in mud and shelter is good in virtually all conditions (although there is some swell in very strong northerlies)
Yacht Repairs and Services
Marine Stores
Basic chandlery only.
Repairs/Yards
Small hard standing area at Marina Viveiro with travel lift (35T) and crane (8T). Most simple repairs possible.
Fuel, Water, & Electricity

Tourism and Things to do Ashore
Tourism
Celeiro is a rather basic fishing village, but no less interesting for that since it is largely untouched by tourism. Viveiro has few tourist attractions, but there is a good bracing walk up to the top of the nearby San Roque mountain, with superb views from the top. There are several stone picnic tables for those who want a picnic with a view.
Grocery & Supply Stores
- Excellent supermarket, Mega Claudio, in Viveiro town.
Eateries
Several restaurants in Viveiro. Simpler ones in Celeiro.
Internet/WiFi
In the marina.
Laundry
