[3][4] This is a flood of the Lérez in 1987, caused by a deep squall, which triggered the project to build a marina, which the Pontevedra nautical enthusiasts wanted to do.

Its position at the bottom of the ria de Pontevedra, defended by sandy barriers from maritime attacks, has historically marked the city and its population.

Its services include water and electricity at mooring and anchorage, waiting dock, showers and toilets, surveillance, night lighting, public telephone, radio (VHF 9), sailing club, MARPOL service (oil collection), rubbish collection, taxi, gym, diesel and unleaded fuel and crane.

The Nautical Club building was inaugurated in 2005 and has a first floor and an upper terrace, both of which offer views of the ria de Pontevedra and the city.

There is currently an emergency project to dredge the ria due to the loss of draught that the port has suffered in recent years.
