Real Club Marítimo and Punta Umbria Tennis

The Royal Maritime and Tennis Club of Punta Umbría, was founded in 1949 under the Presidency of Excmº Mr. Almirante, D. Pedro Pérez de Guzmán y Urzáiz, backed by a good number of notables who, at the time, were vacationing in the Punta Umbría beach in those years. The idea of ​​founding the Club, started from the need to have a point of confluence, endowed with minimum services, to be able to develop sports and social activities. Punta Umbría was then a true natural paradise with an enviable climate and white sand, but it lacked the slightest service infrastructure. It was discovered by the English of the Rio Tinto Mines to install what they called "Health Houses" used by the managers of the company to spend some seasons. That being the case, the genuinely English Punta Umbría Tennis Club was first founded, which would later join the Maritime Club, since both clubs had the same social cast. Club-6 Club Copy-of-IMGP2251 Since then, the Maritime and Tennis Club of Punta Umbría, has been standing out for its sporting achievements, both in tennis (we came to have a national championship), and sports related to the Sea, which earned him the home of SM El Rey, the Real Club title that we hold with such honor. Several Spanish champions have emerged from our social body in the Snipe, 470, 420, Estel and Optimist classes, in this last modality we became third in the World Championship held in Texas (USA), in July 2002 . In heavy sailing, the "Estrella Damm" boat won the Copa del Rey de Vela, raising our record to the highest levels and, as an organizing Club, we have maintained, since 1984, the only Oceanic regatta in Spain, the "Regatta Oceánica Huelva-Isla de la Gomera ", scoring for the Spanish High-Speed ​​Racing Championship. Also noteworthy are our Sports Sailing and Tennis Schools, open to the general public and from which we nurture our youth academy, with these magnificent results.
