Berth, season and winter storage
A berth afloat all year round is possible here, which is exactly what makes the season a question. Policies written for a season commonly pause over the winter months, in harbour and ashore alike. Anyone who leaves the boat in the water through the winter should check which months their own cover actually runs. At the pontoon what counts is what the conditions call a duty of care: lines of adequate strength, chafe protection, a working bilge pump and a boat that is not left unchecked for months. Shore power is available, and with it the most common cause of fire at a pontoon: a charger and a battery left working unattended over the winter. Fire is covered in any tariff; a fire traced to a demonstrably improper installation is not. The nearest berth, Club Náutico Río Piedras, is 3.1 kilometres away.
How exposed the berth lies
Each spoke shows how far the water is open in that direction, up to sixty kilometres. The highlighted spoke is the direction the sea runs in furthest from. Calculated from the coastline, not measured.
The nearest slipway is 1.6 kilometres to the west. Whether a fee applies is not recorded in the map data. 11 slipways are recorded within thirty kilometres.
The nearest berths: Club Náutico Río Piedras, 3.1 kilometres to the west, Puerto Marina El Rompido, 4.3 kilometres to the west and Puerto Deportivo del Club Deportivo Náutico Punta Umbría, 10.4 kilometres to the east. 10 other berths are recorded within 25 kilometres.
What this berth means for your policy
Spain requires third party liability cover. The statutory minimum is 336,567 euros in total, split between personal injury and property damage, which is lower than any sum we underwrite. Proof belongs on board. Severe gales are rarer here than on the open coast, but the squalls of summer thunderstorms are violent and short. They hit the boat at the pontoon, not at sea: lines chafe through, covers tear, a neighbouring boat comes across. By the coastline the berth has no cover to south-south-west: in that direction there is no land within sixty kilometres. It is also open to the south and south-south-east. In a gale from south-south-west the sea runs in over the full distance, and the berth is then the most dangerous place for the boat.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Which cruising range do I need for Marina Nuevo Portil?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Spain and the Balearics. The cruising range is the boundary within which a policy applies. Check the wording before you go beyond it: many policies name a narrower area than owners assume, and an extension has to be agreed before the passage, not after the claim.
Can I leave the boat afloat here over winter?
It is possible, but a policy written for a season commonly pauses over the winter months, whether the boat is sailing, lying in harbour or standing ashore. Anyone leaving the boat afloat needs cover that runs the whole year.
Does the harbour ask for proof of insurance?
Yes, liability cover is compulsory in Spain. The statutory minimum is low, but the harbour office asks to see the proof, not the figure. The paper that belongs on board is the International Certificate of Insurance for pleasure craft: it states the cover in a form that is understood across the bordering states.
