Club Náutico de Barbate

The Barbate Marina is located in the fishing port of Cadiz and is strategically positioned for yachts traveling from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean. It provides shelter from the Levante storms in the Strait of Gibraltar without requiring a significant deviation from their route. The marina is also known for its rich fishing traditions and resources. The marina is protected by the Poniente breakwater which is approximately 1,300 meters long. It extends from the coast in a southerly direction and curves towards the west-southwest for about 850 meters, ending in an eastward direction for about 200 meters. The external commercial dock with a docking line of about 160 meters and a draft of 6 meters is located in the final section. An additional contradike, starting from the coast approximately 900 meters from the previous breakwater, extends in a southerly direction for about 450 meters before curving towards the west for another 350 meters. This contradike, in combination with the central section of the Poniente breakwater, creates a 150-meter-wide mouth at its narrowest section. The mouth is open to the east and is channeled by buoys with light. This area leads to the fishing dock, which is around 1,000 meters long and is primarily used for small and fishing boats. The maximum draft of the dock is approximately 4 meters in the vicinity of the riverside dock.
