The marina is inside the commercial port in the NW corner, protected by two lit jetties and is easily identified by conspicuous sandy colored storage tanks to the west of the entrance. There is also a boatyard here.
This is a large sheltered port within which it is also possible to anchor or pick up a mooring ball (administered by the marina). There is a nominal charge for both, but the use of the marina facilities is included in the fee. The holding is excellent.
Water and electricity are laid on to the pontoons and there are showers at the end of the dock.
Anchoring for yachts is permitted in an area close to and W of the harbor. The holding is good in sand but is not secure with winds from the N or NW.

Arrived Porto Santo August 18. Eight yellow mooring balls available within harbor and operated by the marina. Cost on mooring ball less than €7 per night (13m Cat) approx but based on boat size. Marina itself appears full with a mix of local and visiting yachts. Also possible to anchor inside harbor walls – good holding over sand. Take care if anchoring not to be in the way of Porto Santo/Madeira ferry which comes and goes daily. Lovely spot with the nice town about a 15 minute walk away.
