Locations
The Oeiras Marina offers fast access to a high-quality water area. It has modern, quality facilities supporting sailing activities, including restaurants, shops, changing rooms, security, and parking.
Its location at the entrance of the Tagus Estuary allows sailing in open waters with clear conditions or choosing sheltered waters of the Tagus.
Proximity to Cascais and Belém, as well as rapid access to destinations like Sesimbra, is also an advantage.
