Welcome to Marina de Tróia: A Blend of History and Modernity
Nestled in the heart of Portugal’s Alentejo region, Marina de Tróia is a modern harbour and leisure complex that beautifully marries the past with the present. Developed in the early 2000s on a site that once hosted Roman fish-salting factories and a fishing village, this marina offers 450 berths, a variety of restaurants, a hotel, and water-sport schools. Its rich history and strategic location opposite the city of Setúbal and the Sado Estuary make it a must-visit destination for yacht enthusiasts.
Marina de Tróia is not just a marina; it’s a gateway to unforgettable nautical adventures. Whether you're interested in dolphin-watching tours, sailing trips, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking through the estuary’s mangroves, or deep-sea fishing excursions, this marina has it all.
