Port de la Selva: marina guide, berths and boat transactions
Port de la Selva is a key harbour on the northern Costa Brava and the Cap de Creus coastline. Ports de la Generalitat publishes 870 sports berths for boats from 6 to 12 metres and an entrance depth of 7 to 9 metres.
Published dimensions are planning references, not a substitute for current port instructions or navigational information. Weather, sea state and berth suitability must be checked for each movement.
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 marina itself may be well equipped, but the timing of a sea trial, delivery or handover can still be shaped by wind and sea conditions around Cap.
01 · THE MARINA
A northern Costa Brava harbour where weather matters to the operation
Institutional and operator data explained from the perspective of a purchase, sale, pre-purchase survey or practical boat ownership.
Ports de la Generalitat publishes a total sports basin of 870 berths for boats between 6 and 12 metres at Port de la Selva. The port includes a Club Nàutic sector within a wider harbour environment, so figures should be read in the scope stated by each source.
The official port information publishes an entrance depth between 7 and 9 metres. That does not remove the need to verify the allocated berth, approach conditions, boat draft and current operating instructions before a delivery, sea trial or survey movement.
Cap de Creus and the northern Costa Brava are strongly exposed to changing weather, especially tramuntana episodes. For a transaction, the date of a sea trial or handover should therefore remain flexible enough to accommodate safe conditions.

03 · BUY
Buying a boat in Port de la Selva: plan the inspection around the real conditions
Confirm berth access, technician access, sea-trial timing, haul-out options and any movement needed for the survey. Weather around Cap de Creus should be treated as part of the inspection logistics rather than an afterthought.
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
Weather and protection are operational variables, not a footnote
The marina itself may be well equipped, but the timing of a sea trial, delivery or handover can still be shaped by wind and sea conditions around Cap de Creus. Planning should reflect the specific boat and forecast.
Strong northerly wind
Conditions can change quickly on this coast; operational decisions should follow the actual forecast and port instructions.
Flexible timing
A survey programme should allow enough margin to move the boat only when conditions are suitable.
Route planning
A delivery north or south of Cap de Creus should be prepared around the vessel, crew, weather and insurance requirements.
05 · INFRASTRUCTURE
Port services are only one part of the inspection plan
The harbour combines sports activity with a broader port environment. For any technical operation, confirm the berth sector, access rules, lifting options and availability directly with the responsible operator.
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 de la Selva with realistic viewing and sea-trial planning
A well-prepared sale combines clear documentation with practical access to the boat. Allowing for weather and marina logistics reduces last-minute friction for serious buyers.
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 de la Selva
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 de la Selva 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 de la Selva?
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 de la Selva?
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 de la Selva 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 de la Selva?
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.
