Houses with mooring in Empuriabrava

Your boat at your doorstep: properties with private mooring in Europe's largest residential marina.

Empuriabrava is Europe's largest residential marina: over 24 kilometres of navigable canals with direct access to the sea. Here — and on the Santa Margarita canals in Roses — a house with private mooring means tying up your boat a few metres from the living room and sailing out into the bay of Roses with no waiting lists and no marina fees.

It's the area's most sought-after product and also the hardest to value: two identical houses can differ by hundreds of thousands of euros depending on mooring length, canal draught and orientation. We work with these properties every week — we know what to ask and what to check before you sign anything.

What to check before buying a house with mooring

Mooring length and beam: not every boat fits every mooring. A 9 m mooring and a 22 m one are different products at different prices.

Canal draught and width: they determine which boat you can keep and how easy the manoeuvring is.

The mooring's legal status: owned, concession or communal, and the yearly canal and maintenance fees each entails.

The state of the quay wall and walkway: canal-front repairs are among the marina's most expensive works.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a house with mooring in Empuriabrava cost?

It depends mainly on mooring length, canal width and the condition of the house. As a reference, our mooring houses range from around €400,000 to well over a million. Ask for a specific valuation — no obligation.

Is the mooring included in the price of the house?

In most cases yes: the mooring is part of the property. Always verify it in the land registry extract, as some moorings are on concession or rented. It's one of the checks we run before any offer.

Can I buy with a mortgage as a non-resident?

Yes. Spanish banks typically finance 60-70% for non-resident buyers. Our GC Finance team arranges the mortgage with 20+ banks, including for British, French and German buyers.
