Approaching from the south, Blanes marks the start of the Costa Brava. Its harbour combines commercial fishing activity with recreational sailing. The dock where the marina is located has 320 moorings for boats up to 15 metres long and a draught of 2.5.
Run by the Blanes Sailing Club, it has all the services for nautical activities, including a boatyard with Travel Lift for 50 tons and a 3-ton crane, 2 slipways for dinghies and 4 beacons with a range of up to 5 nautical miles.
It also provides fuel and water supply electricity, changing rooms and bathrooms, mechanical workshops, 24-hour crewing service, and a suction point for grey, black and bilge waters with waste recycling.
The Blanes Sailing Club has a social club with a café and restaurant, and offers the activities of its Sailing School, where highlights include the organisation of regattas for cruisers and dinghies in the Europa, 420 and Optimist classes.
When you approach by sea from the north, beware of the rocks at Santa Anna point and leave a leeway of 400 metres. If you are approaching from the south, keep some distance from the coast in the stretch between the mouth of the Tordera river and the harbour, as sandbanks tend to form. Southern and south-eastern gales may cause undercurrents inside the harbour. The Sant Joan castle, set atop a hill of 160 metres serves as a landmark for your approach.
