| More notes about the Marina | |
|
The marina of Doca de Alcantara in Lisbon is the fourth marina upriver from the entrance, just over a mile past the suspension bridge. Operated by the Port of Lisbon, it is the first of the Lisbon marinas (from the river entrance) in which a visiting yacht is likely to find space. The marina has a total of 425 berths for yachts up to 20 metres and with a maximum draft of 7.0 metres. Commercial traffic shares the basin, so the water can be quite dirty in here. Note there is no fuel berth here.

- Had 11 weeks here in 2014, it's cheap but clean and friendly (the second cheapest marina we found: for our Jeanneau 35 we paid 14 euros). Links to town are easy, supermarket is close by. But be warned: on rave nights it's noisy.--Grant
