Where to find us

		The 'Light Coast' can be found on the south-western coast of Europe, in Andalusia, Spain. There must be a reason for Columbus starting his journey to America from here in 1492...

Our two bases, one at Mazagón Yachting Harbour (the whole year) and the other at Punta Umbría Sea and Tennis Royal Club (only during the summer), with several mooring places, allow us to provide customers with an exclusive and personalised service.

Since Sudoeste has a mooring place at the Duquesa Yachting Harbour, our customers have it at their disposal in case they want to sail towards the Straits of Gibraltar area.

MAZAGÓN YACHTING HARBOUR

Mazagón Yachting Harbour is established near the mouth of the Odiel River, being considered an important summer resort. A good place for sailing, sea bathing and long walks on the sand lovers. There is also a state-owned hotel. A comfortable and accessible shelter every season, it always has enough draught so as to both enter and depart without any difficulty at all. It has at your disposal conventional floating wooden piers in order to dock, together with one of special characteristics intended for huge yachts. There is a distance of 17 kilometres from here to Huelva along the N-442 road, a road towards the south-east.

This year, the 'Empresa Pública de Puertos de Andalucía' (Andalusian Harbour Public Company) has inaugurated conventional floating wooden piers well sheltered from the currents at the very same centre of the resort area. Up the river, there are moorings and buoys belonging to a sportive nautical association.

Located in the middle of the 'Sun Coast', at fifteen minutes from Soto Grande (Cadiz) and ten minutes from Estepona (Malaga), just at the Straits of Gibraltar, this fabulous yachting harbour can be found. It comprises restaurants, bars, boutiques and an excellent golf course with eighteen holes, presenting excellent accesses and services next to the wharf.

The principal harbour in the province of Malaga, it is ideal to prepare the crossing of the Straits towards Morocco, where yachting harbours such as that of Marina Smir pleasantly welcome the European navigators.
