More Than a Place to Moor
A good marina does more than provide a berth. It gives you everything you need to arrive, settle in, prepare for the next passage and enjoy time ashore.
In Roses, marina life is closely connected with the town itself. Modern harbour facilities, practical services and the Mediterranean atmosphere of the Costa Brava come together in one remarkably convenient base.
⚓ A Convenient Base
Whether you are staying for a night, spending part of the season here or using Roses as a starting point for a longer cruise, the marina provides a practical base from which to organise life on board and ashore.
💧 The Essentials on the Berth
Water, electricity and Wi-Fi are available to berth users, providing the everyday infrastructure needed to keep a yacht comfortable and ready for the next day on the water.
🛠️ Practical Support
Fuel, a sailing ramp, sanitary facilities, waste services, first-aid equipment and other practical amenities make the marina more than simply a place to leave the boat.
🌴 Step Ashore
One of Roses' particular advantages is the close relationship between marina and town. Restaurants, beaches, shops and the atmosphere of the resort are all part of the experience of staying here.
Essential Marina Services
Once the lines are ashore, the practical side of marina life begins. Roses provides the essential services that allow you to settle in, refresh the yacht and prepare comfortably for the next stage of your journey.
💧 Water & Electricity
Water and electricity are available at the berths, making it easy to replenish essential supplies after a passage. The conditions and charging arrangements depend on the size of the vessel.
📶 Stay Connected
Wi-Fi coverage extends across the moorings, allowing guests to stay connected while aboard and take care of weather checks, communications and everyday travel arrangements.
🚿 Showers & Sanitary Facilities
Dedicated sanitary facilities with showers and accessible toilets provide a welcome opportunity to freshen up after a day at sea. Facilities are available to marina users.
🛟 Support When You Need It
A permanently staffed harbour service provides practical support throughout the year, while first-aid facilities and a defibrillator add an important layer of reassurance for marina users.

Fuel, Launching & Technical Support
A well-equipped marina becomes especially valuable when a yacht needs more than a berth. From taking on fuel to launching a smaller boat or arranging practical assistance, Roses provides several useful facilities for keeping your time on the water running smoothly.
⛽ Fuel When You Need It
The marina has a 24-hour fuel station, with payment available by card and cash. Fuel delivery at the berth is also available for larger vessels, making refuelling considerably more convenient when required.
🚤 Launching Facilities
A sailing ramp on the northern side of the harbour provides launching facilities for smaller boats. It is particularly useful for dinghies, sailing boats and other light craft.
🏗️ Lifting & Handling
The marina's facilities include a crane with a lifting capacity of up to 12 tonnes. Such infrastructure can be useful when equipment or smaller vessels need to be handled ashore.
🧰 Practical Assistance
The harbour administration can help with service arrangements and local information. For more specialised technical work, skippers should confirm the appropriate service provider and availability before relying on a particular facility.
Life Around the Marina
One of the pleasures of staying in Roses is that stepping ashore feels like entering a Mediterranean town rather than leaving the marina behind. Beaches, restaurants, the promenade and the historic character of Roses are all part of the experience.
🌴 Walk Along the Waterfront
The seafront promenade follows the bay and connects the marina with the town, beaches and harbour areas. It is made for an evening stroll, a morning walk or simply watching the Mediterranean change with the light.
🍽️ Mediterranean Dining
Roses has a broad choice of restaurants, from traditional Empordà cuisine to contemporary Mediterranean cooking. Fresh fish and seafood are an important part of the local culinary identity, with suquet de peix among the area's signature dishes.
🏖️ Beaches Close at Hand
The town beaches extend along the waterfront, while quieter coves begin further around the coast. This makes it easy to combine time aboard with a swim, a beach afternoon or a relaxed walk ashore.
🏛️ Discover Roses Ashore
Beyond the waterfront, Roses offers a history reaching from its ancient settlement to the Citadel and the Trinity Castle. A stay in the marina can therefore become much more than time spent beside the boat.
Water Sports & Sailing
Roses is not only a place to keep a yacht. The bay itself is an invitation to get back on the water, with sailing and a wide range of nautical activities available around the marina and along the coast.
⛵ Sailing & Windsurfing
The Bay of Roses provides an impressive setting for sailing, windsurfing and other wind-powered activities. Sailing schools and nautical centres offer opportunities for both learning and improving your skills.
🏄 Paddle & Wing
Paddle surfing, windsurfing and wingfoil add a more active dimension to life on the bay. Equipment rental and instructor-led experiences make it possible to enjoy the water without bringing every piece of equipment aboard.
🤿 Discover Below the Surface
The rocky coastline and clear Mediterranean waters around Roses also provide opportunities for diving and snorkelling, particularly along the more natural sections of the northern Costa Brava.
🛶 Explore at Your Own Pace
Kayaks and other small craft offer a completely different perspective on the coastline. Quiet coves, beaches and rocky headlands can be explored close to the water, at a pace that larger yachts simply cannot match.
A Marina with a Sense of Place
In Roses, marina life takes place beside a coastline where tourism, everyday life and protected nature meet. Sustainability is therefore not simply an abstract concept, but part of maintaining the quality of the destination itself.
🌿 Protecting the Coast
The beaches, coves and waterfront of Roses are managed with a strong environmental focus. Internationally recognised EMAS and ISO 14001 certifications reflect the municipality's long-term commitment to environmental management.
💧 Respect the Water
Clean Mediterranean waters are one of Roses' greatest assets. Responsible boating means keeping waste, pollutants and other harmful substances out of the sea and treating the marine environment as part of the destination.
♻️ Leave No Trace
Waste belongs ashore, not in the water. Careful waste handling, responsible use of marina facilities and respect for beaches and coves help preserve the coastline for the next boat, the next visitor and the local community.
🌊 From Marina to Natural Park
North of Roses, the coastline quickly becomes part of the Cap de Creus Natural Park. The park is Catalonia's first marine-terrestrial natural park, making responsible navigation especially important when exploring its protected waters.
A Marina Integrated with Roses
Some marinas feel like destinations in themselves. Roses is different: the harbour is woven into the town, the waterfront and the everyday Mediterranean life of the bay.
🏘️ Step Straight into Town
From the marina, the town of Roses is close at hand. Restaurants, cafés, shops and the waterfront are part of the same urban landscape rather than something that lies far beyond the harbour gates.
🌊 A Waterfront Made to Explore
The seafront promenade connects the marina with the fishing port, beaches and historic sights. At around 4.6 kilometres, it offers an easy way to discover Roses on foot and experience the bay from a completely different perspective.
🍷 Stay for the Evening
Once the yacht is secure, the day does not have to end. A walk along the waterfront, dinner overlooking the bay or an evening beside the sea turns a practical stopover into part of the Mediterranean experience.
🧭 A Base, Not Just a Berth
This close relationship between marina and town gives Roses a particular advantage: the yacht remains your base while the destination begins immediately outside it.
Where Marina Meets Mediterranean
In Roses, the marina is never far from the landscape that surrounds it. Beyond the harbour lies the wide sweep of the Gulf of Roses, while the northern horizon leads towards the rugged coastline of Cap de Creus.
Here, a yacht is more than a place to stay. It becomes a base from which to experience the sea, the town and one of the most distinctive landscapes of the northern Costa Brava.
Arrive by sea. Stay for the Mediterranean.
Your Base on the Gulf of Roses
A good marina makes arriving easy. A great destination makes you want to stay.
In Roses, practical yacht services, Mediterranean town life and an extraordinary coastline come together at the water's edge. Whether Roses is your overnight stop, your seasonal base or the beginning of your next cruise, the harbour opens the door to the Gulf of Roses and the northern Costa Brava.
