Valencia Mar

Valencia Mar is a large marina in Valencia, Spain, close to the El Saler Natural Park and just a few metres from the beach, 10 minutes from the city centre and 20 minutes from the airport. The marina has 450 berths, most with finger pontoons, spread across four quays, and can accommodate boats from 8 to 120 metres, including a dedicated superyacht quay with 18 berths from 35 to 120 metres.

The marina monitors VHF channel 9. Boats are well sheltered from the prevailing wind, and shore power up to 1,000 amps is available on the pontoons. The marina offers dockmaster service seven days a week and a reception desk to assist with arrival and mooring.

Facilities include toilets with changing rooms and showers, waste collection with a recycling point, a laundry, covered parking for 500 vehicles, free wifi and CCTV surveillance. Electric bikes are available for hire, along with a barbecue area, a basketball and football court, and an artificial beach. Chandlery shops and other nautical service companies are located at Muelle Norte and Muelle Este. Dining options include the café/bar Val-Paraíso, the restaurant La Barraquita with its views, and the Plan B food truck.

Step straight from the pontoon to the artificial beach and the marina's three dining spots, or head into central Valencia in just 10 minutes from this well-placed marina.
