Cartagena marina prices

[All_at_Sea]

Just to let you know, for those travelling up the Spanish coast, the pilot guides all tell you to go into the marina on the left, as you face it as it were, but we did this and the ferries and pilot boats all move about at speed, creating a great wash, making it very uncomfortable. So l wandered to the other marina next door, away from the wash to find that the rates are cheaper, the people very friendy, facilities good and only a few metres further away from town, so we moved! This was designated the 'superyacht' marina, but as that didn't come off it's opened up to all. Just call 'yacht puerto cartagena' on channel 9 or just go in.

Our 12 metre boat cost 28 euros in the first marina and 22 euros in the second, so for us staying a few nights it was well worth it.

Longer styas for 12M would be 413 euros a month on an adhoc basis and then long term rates for one month are 378 euros. This includes electricty and water. A lovely town, loads of history and relatively inexpensive for a longer stay.

Happy sailing.

Pilot guides....uhhh!!
The RCC / Imray one is 6 years out of date and they are still selling it.
If Reeds can print a new edition every year (and keep it nearly in date), and if they can do it for an enormous area (Denmark to Gib) why on earth can't the pilot guides do something similar for a much smaller area!
The RCC and Imray should be ashamed of themselves.

We found the prices reversed when we were there some weeks ago. I think you'll find that the Real Club prices don't go down to low season until Nov 1st, but when they do they are much cheaper. I heard that the "superyacht" marina is negotiable, but we failed to get an attractive winter deal from them.
Can't comment on wash - we only tried the superyacht one, which was fine, if a little bleak.
Great town though.
