A Port for Catamarans

Inclusive Sailing

The marina is involved in inclusive sailing programs with sailor Dani A. Pich, aimed at making sailing accessible to people with disabilities.

Tips

• Reserve a berth in advance during peak season.
• If you have a catamaran, ask about berths for multihulls.
• Take advantage of the port’s service providers for maintenance without moving the boat.
• Check the draft if your boat has a deep keel.

Maintenance Without Leaving the Port

With its own travel lift and companies specializing in rigging, electronics, mechanics, and brokerage right on the docks, Port Masnou allows you to perform your annual dry docking, antifouling, and seasonal inspections without moving the boat. This saves time and fuel, and lets you closely supervise the work.

The Maresme as a Base

Having your boat in El Masnou allows you to set out to sail without getting caught up in the traffic of the Port of Barcelona, while still being just a few minutes from the city. The Maresme coastline is open with long beaches, and a day’s sail to the north takes you to the Costa Brava. For those living in the northern part of the metropolitan area, it’s one of the most practical options.
