You are a leader in the region, why is your company so advanced in the offer of these products? 

Empuriabrava (23 kilometers of canals) and Roses (12 kilometers of canals) together represent the largest residential marina in Europe with 35 kilometers of canals. Every year one of Europe's largest second-hand boat shows is held there, with more than 400 boats for sale from 2 to +22 meters and 25,000 m2 of exhibition space, both afloat and ashore.

This activity in the region of Catalonia, has naturally led us to develop the offer on moorings for sale and rent (private moorings and pontoons), as this makes it one of the rare places where it is possible to anchor your boat at the bottom of the garden or in a fisherman's house, or a large yacht at it is a private dock at the bottom of the garden of a luxurious villa on the waterfront and where the market is active !!

Our knowledge of the region and of yachting allows us to propose an important offer of single moorings, houses, villas and land along the canals for yachtsmen and investors .

We have an important offer of moorings with about a hundred moorings and a great choice of houses or villas with mooring in the marina of Rosas - Santa Margarita, and we can also propose properties in other marinas.

Do the moorings accept any kind of boat? 

The marina of Roses, offers multiple mooring possibilities that can accommodate scooters, sailboats and up to around 26 meters and as there are no bridges, with a depth of 3 meters in fresh water all sailboats and boats with large draught can stay there.

The following elements are necessary to choose the right mooring line: length, width, depth below waterline of the boat, as well as the capacity and experience of the person(s) who will be maneuvering. The general rule is to add 1/3 of the boat size to be able to maneuver in good conditions. However, this rule is little applied with newer boats that are equipped to moor on a smaller mooring.

What is the market for Rosas? 

In Roses, there are currently around 1600 moorings from 2 to 26 meters (of which 543 in the port from 6 to 20 meters). There are many transactions and rental requests during the year, especially as the summer season approaches.

The Rosas Marina has no bridges and is 3 meters deep, which allows all types of boats (including sailing boats) with a large draught to access it and the fresh water reduces the harmful effect of the salt.

Moorings are rare products that require little maintenance with only a water and electricity supply. They are highly sought after by boaters and investors. Our current offer is exceptional. On average an agency has only about ten moorings for rent or sale.

The demand remains important, due to the saturation of ports and various marinas all around the Mediterranean.

What is the profitability of this kind of product and who are the most in demand? 

The profitability of a mooring is 10% on average. It is a very good investment product for small and large investors. Indeed, you can buy a mooring from 20,000 Euros and the rental is often for a year. Of course, the bigger the mooring is, the easier it will be to rent it for several years.

 On resale a mooring rarely loses value and can gain value, moreover on Rosas we are limited in the east of Spain.

Which ports/marina are neighbors and competitors of Rosas?

The main competition will be on Empuriabrava, the Venice of Spain, but the canals are limited by bridges which limit the size of the boats and in particular the sailboats. There are many ports and marina's in the surrounding area but none with the characteristics of Roses Santa Margarita. A real boater's dream!!

Moreover the geographical location places the marina in one of the most beautiful bays in the world according to National Geographic and with a view of the Pyrenees that penetrate into the sea until the French border. At sea and only 4 nautical miles to the north is Cap de Creus - a natural park with wild creeks with turquoise and crystal clear waters, Cadaques and to the south a steep coast with cliffs and caves, near the Medes Islands, a paradise for divers on the Costa Brava.

• Apartments with mooring possibilities (private pontoon or anchorage) - Some condominiums on the marina, offers the possibility to acquire to rent a mooring, but this possibility can be linked to the acquisition of a unit in the condominium.

The moorings in full ownership in the Marina are of the order of 20.000 to + 200.000 euros. The semi-detached fisher men's houses below 400.000 Euros and the luxurious villas with moorings from 1.000.000 Euros.
