Cascais - General Info
Description:
This was originally a quaint fishing port but is now a colorful, elegant town just 10NM west of Lisbon. The daily fish auction, its colorful boats and excellent fish restaurants are a present-day reminder that it is still an active fishing port.

Nice and big marina. Still you need to make sure you contact them well in advance for a place.
Friendly and professional staff
WIFI very bad for the price we paid.
You can catch up the train to Lisboa for few euros and the ride is about 45min. The train station is about 20 min walking distance from the marina crossing Cascais city.
We were told by the maritime police that there is no need to clear in with them. They will come to the boat if they want to talk to you. We have a US flagged vessel with a US captain.
The Capitania and Policia Maritima are in the old town in the government building just back from the fishermen’s dock. We have yet to locate an office of the GNR.
The Fuel dock at the marina does not take credit cards.
The anchorage outside the marina has great holding, even in the down gusts in the evenings, and you can leave your dinghy tied to either end of the fuel/reception dock of the marina or the steps of the fishermen’s dock.
