Port d’Aro: berths, marina services and buying or selling a boat
Port d’Aro is a substantial sports marina on the central-southern Costa Brava. Ports de la Generalitat publishes 558 berths for boats from 6 to 25 metres, with a 3 m entrance depth, 2.65 m interior depth, a 25-tonne travel lift and 10-tonne crane.
Published technical figures help with initial planning but do not guarantee compatibility with a specific boat. Berth, lifting and access arrangements should be confirmed with the marina before survey or handover.
Viewings, negotiation, survey, documentation and handover with the boat’s real location preserved.
Local context for operating, maintaining or moving a boat without turning proximity into a fictitious location.
The boat and the right to occupy a berth are separate commercial and legal questions unless the documentation explicitly links them. That distinction.
01 · THE MARINA
A well-defined sports marina with useful technical infrastructure
Institutional and operator data explained from the perspective of a purchase, sale, pre-purchase survey or practical boat ownership.
Ports de la Generalitat publishes 558 berths at Marina Port d’Aro for boats between 6 and 25 metres. Published depth is 3 metres at the entrance and 2.65 metres inside the marina, figures that should still be checked against the actual berth and current operating information.
The published technical equipment includes a 25-tonne travel lift and 10-tonne crane. This can support a range of maintenance and inspection work, but the boat’s weight, beam, lift points and availability of a slot must be verified before a survey plan is fixed.
As with other Mediterranean marinas, the sale of a boat does not automatically transfer a berth. Any berth lease, concession, right of use or separate agreement should be documented independently and never assumed from the boat’s advertised location.

03 · BUY
Buying a boat in Port d’Aro: confirm berth status and technical access
Before travelling, establish the exact berth, whether any berth right is part of the proposal, technician access, haul-out compatibility and the proposed sea-trial plan. These points should be documented rather than inferred.
Selection
Use, budget, LOA, propulsion, configuration and expected condition.
Viewing
Initial review of the boat, real location, available documents and whether the asking price makes sense.
survey
Pre-purchase inspection, sea trial and haul-out where appropriate.
Closing
Negotiation, contract, documentation, handover and subsequent logistics.
04 · LOCAL CONTEXT
A berth is not presumed to be included with the boat
The boat and the right to occupy a berth are separate commercial and legal questions unless the documentation explicitly links them. That distinction should be clear before money changes hands.
Independent asset
The vessel’s ownership, condition and documentation are reviewed on their own merits.
Separate arrangement
Lease, concession or right of use should be confirmed with documents and the marina where applicable.
No assumptions
The purchase contract should state clearly what is and is not included in the transaction.
05 · INFRASTRUCTURE
Published depths and lifting equipment support early feasibility checks
The official figures provide a useful first filter for draft and lifting requirements, but suitability must be confirmed for the boat’s real dimensions, weight and assigned berth.
Dimensions and access
Confirm actual LOA, beam, draft, berth assignment, dates and operating access.
Lifting and boatyard
Viewify lifting capacity, boat dimensions, booking availability and whether the intended work is permitted.
Water, shore power and fuel
Published services should be checked for operating hours, berth compatibility and the date of the operation.
Movement and handover
Boat condition, weather, insurance, crew and marina rules all affect a safe sea trial or delivery.
06 · OWNERS
Selling in Port d’Aro with the berth position stated clearly
The listing should separate the boat from any berth arrangement and provide maintenance, documentation and inspection information that a serious buyer can verify.
Valuation with comparables
Market value should reflect condition, engines, maintenance, equipment, documentation and real demand.
Documents build confidence
History, invoices, inventory and coherent photography reduce friction during viewings and negotiation.
Survey and handover
Plan access, sea trial, haul-out where appropriate, documentation and post-completion logistics.

09 · FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about Port d’Aro
The answers distinguish whole-port data, Club or concession data and the points that must still be confirmed for a specific boat.
How many berths does Port d’Aro have?
Published figures depend on scope. This page states the relevant official or operator figure and identifies when it refers to the Club, the sports basin or a separate nearby marina.
What size boats can use Port d’Aro?
The published ranges shown above are a planning reference. The actual berth, beam, draft, weight and marina rules must be confirmed for the individual boat.
Can I arrange a pre-purchase survey at Port d’Aro?
In principle a survey can be organised when the owner, marina and technical providers can coordinate access, sea trial and any required haul-out. Availability must be confirmed for the date and vessel.
Does a boat sale at Port d’Aro include the berth?
No assumption should be made. A berth lease, concession or right of use is separate unless documentation explicitly includes it in the transaction.
Can Fontnautic show boats for sale in Port d’Aro?
Yes, when an active Fontnautic listing genuinely publishes this marina or location. We do not move nearby inventory between ports to populate a local page.
Should marina data be reconfirmed before travelling?
Yes. Rates, berth availability, technical-service capacity, works and operating rules can change. The guide records its verification date and links to primary sources.
Why can different sources show different berth figures?
Because a Club, concession, marina sector and the complete port can be different statistical and management scopes. The guide keeps those scopes separate rather than forcing one headline number.
