Port Ginesta, Marina in Sitges, Spain

Port Ginesta is a 30-hectare recreational marina at Les Botigues de Sitges, between the Garraf massif and the beach of Castelldefels. Inaugurated in 1986 and enlarged in 2007, it has 1,442 berths for boats of 8 to 30 metres, with specific moorings for catamarans. Its entrance is 50 metres wide with a 4.5-metre draught, and the inner draught is 2 to 4 metres.

Port Ginesta opened in 1986 at Les Botigues de Sitges, a spot whose name comes from the huts where fishermen once stored their gear. It was enlarged in 2006 or 2007, depending on the source, and now covers 30 hectares between sea and land. Sitges had traded with the Americas from 1779, but the marina itself dates from the late 20th century.

The name Les Botigues de Sitges comes from the huts where fishermen once stored their gear, and the port keeps that working character: a commercial zone with nautical shops, bars and restaurants, plus a public beach, Cala Ginesta, reached from the docks. The marina holds the Blue Flag and ISO 14001 and EMAS III environmental certificates, so waste separation and pump-out facilities are part of daily use.

The marina is accessible throughout the year and well-connected to Sitges train station and Barcelona by regular transport links. Visitors can walk the docks, watch boat activity, and enjoy waterfront restaurants and cafes without needing a boat reservation.

Port Ginesta has 1,442 berths for boats from 8 to 30 metres, with specific moorings for catamarans. Its boatyard includes a 70-tonne travel lift, two cranes for craft up to six tonnes, a dry marina for inflatables and jet skis, and a separate area for light sailing.
