Welcome to the SAMM Sailing Group

Sailing in the Mar Menor is one of the finest experiences in Spain. The lagoon’s warm, shallow, protected waters make it perfect for relaxed sailing, learning, and year‑round activity.

Local sailing clubs often face challenges such as limited club waters, dinghy storage issues, and scarce marina space. SAMM provides a simple, friendly alternative — no boat ownership required, no barriers, just sailing.

The Finest Sailing Experience

If you are looking for sun, blue skies, and a warm sea you've come to the right place.

Cruising at anchor

A Unique Adventure

There are very few Clubs or Club Waters, few areas for dinghy storage, and if you do find a place to launch your boat, it may be illegal to use a beach or slipway without correct authorisation.  If you sail bigger yachts, marina berths are hard to obtain and, if you are lucky to get one, can be very expensive. Joining SAMM will solve this storage problem for you.

Fun for all the family and friends.

The Mar Menor

SAMM (Sailing Association Mar Menor), is based on the shores of the Mar Menor in Murcia, southern Spain. We have over 300 days of sunshine each year and the climate is perfect for sailing.

The Mar Menor (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmar meˈnor], "Minor sea") is a salty lagoon, in the south-east of the autonomous community of Murcia, in Spain, separated from the Mediterranean Sea by La Manga, a sandbar 22 km in length and with a width ranging from 100 to 1,200 metres. It belongs to four municipalities: Cartagena, Los Alcázares, San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar. With a surface area of nearly 170 km², a coastal length of 70 km, and warm and clear water no more than 7 metres in depth, it is the ideal location to go sailing. Its relatively high salinity, which aids flotation, and remarkable sporting infrastructures make this one of the most popular places in Europe for a wide variety of water sports.
