In reply to "EX Berth Holder" We (Harbourguides) Have not and do not receive any kind of funding from Port Ginesta. Some local businesses do advertise on the guide, Restaurants, Marine businesses, shops etc. as these businesses are aware that the boat owners and enthusiasts use the guide for information.
We always give an honest appraisal of all the marinas and ports we cover in UK and Europe and our opinion is that Port Ginesta is an excellent marina and well-priced. As we mentioned before we would not have our boat here if not. There is a great expat social scene and lots of people at hand to help.
We love it here
Is this a fair review Harbourguides have put on here about the marina or are they "Being Polite" because they receive advertising revenue from the Port Ginesta?
Es cierto que hay amarres privados en el puerto deportivo que puedes alquilar y sí, normalmente son más baratos, muchos de nuestros amigos aquí alquilan privados, pero con un amarre privado te pierdes algunos de los "Descuentos" que ofrece el puerto deportivo, es decir tarifas de estacionamiento reducidas, tarifas de astillero más baratas, pernoctaciones gratuitas en otros puertos deportivos a lo largo de la costa, remolque gratuito de recuperación al puerto deportivo. etc.
En general, Port Ginesta es un puerto deportivo muy bien gestionado que ofrece una protección perfecta para su barco. No mantendríamos nuestro bote aquí si pensáramos diferente.
The Harbourguides Crew keep our boat at Port Ginesta Marina and have done so for the past four years. Our mooring fees have gone up slightly over this period, but not much. Our mooring has increased because the marina offered a special discount for the first year(Not sure of the percentage) this discount seems to reduce the longer you are there. To give you an example our boat is 10.5m and our mooring fees for the marina are are 4000 Euros. We have to admit that this is a very reasonable price when you consider the standard of marina. Things to take into account when looking for a marina for us is 1/ Does it offer good shelter?(Yes) 2/ Is it close to the airport?(Yes 20 minutes) 3/ Does it have a good boatyard? (Yes large boatyard with lifts capable of lifting large cats as well as small monohuls) 4/ Are there nice restaurants and services? (Yes an abundance of restaurants and marine services, you can pretty much get anything done here) 5/ Are the staff friendly? (Yes, very friendly and helpful) All in all this is a vert good marina in our opinion and very well priced. Its also worth mentioning that nearly all the moorings include water and electric in the prices, its only the very large boats that pay extra.
Its true that there are private moorings in the marina that you can rent and yes they are normally cheaper, a lot of our friends here rent private, but with a private mooring you miss out on some of the "Discounts" the marina offers, ie reduced car parking fees, cheaper boatyard rates, free overnight stays in other marinas along the coast free recue tow into the marina. etc.
All in all Port Ginesta is a very well run marina that offers perfect protection for your boat. We wouldnt keep our boat here if we thought different.
It is a shame because the marina has a lot to offer, but I agree the prices were one of the attractions, and sadly this is no longer the case.
