Mallorca Marinas

Mallorca's charter fleets sit mainly around Palma Bay, with further bases at Alcúdia, Port de Pollença and Port Andratx. Saturday turnarounds are busy in July and August. Expect marina nights to cost more than a quiet cala, and book peak-week berths early if you want Palma as a mid-week stop rather than only a start. For booking context, see yacht charter in Mallorca.

Mallorca marina directory

Club de Mar / Real Club Náutico area, Palma

Main charter logistics hub next to the city and airport transfers.

STP / Palma shipyard basin

Large berths and winter work; busy on changeover days.

Port d'Alcúdia

North-east start for the bay and quieter first nights.

Port de Pollença

Shelter and a short hop toward Formentor.

Port d'Andratx

West-coast base for crews who want the Tramuntana side first.

Which base for which week

Choose Palma if transfers and provisioning matter most. Choose Alcúdia or Pollença for a north-coast week without motoring the length of the island on day one. Andratx suits west-coast itineraries when the forecast is settled.

Provisioning, fuel and check-in

Fuel, water and supermarket runs are easiest in Palma. Cala nights are the cheaper default once you leave the capital. Tramuntana days can put swell into west-coast approaches; read a GRIB before locking a marina booking for Sóller or Andratx. Nearest airport for most crews: Palma (PMI).

Season and berth pressure

July and August pack Palma and the popular calas. May, June and September give you the same bases with less berth pressure. Winter is for yard work more than charter turnarounds.

Fees and what to expect

Palma city marinas sit at the top of the fee ladder. Alcúdia and Pollença are usually kinder. Cala nights cost less than any of them. Budget a marina night for fuel and water, then spend the rest of the week on the hook when the forecast allows.

Approaches and shelter

Palma Bay is straightforward in settled weather. Tramuntana days put swell into west-coast approaches; Andratx and Sóller need an honest forecast before you commit. Saturday changeovers fill the fairways, so allow time and keep radio watch.

Nearby sailing ground

From Palma you reach the south and east coasts in easy day hops. From Alcúdia or Pollença you own the north without a long first motor. Cabrera is a permit stop, not a walk-up lunch.

FAQs

Which Mallorca marina should I depart from?

Most bareboat and skippered weeks start in Palma Bay because the airport is close and the fleets are largest. Choose Alcúdia or Port de Pollença if you want a north-coast week without motoring the length of the island on day one.

Do I need to book marina berths in advance?

In July and August, yes for popular harbours and for Saturday changeovers. In spring and autumn you usually have more flexibility, especially mid-week.

Is Palma expensive for overnight berths?

City marinas cost more than smaller harbours and calas. Many crews provision in Palma, then spend most nights at anchor or in quieter ports.

Can I start in Palma and finish in Ibiza?

One-way weeks are possible but less common and usually more expensive. Confirm the operator allows the drop-off before you plan the route around it.

Is Majorca the same as Mallorca?

Yes. Majorca and Mallorca are the same island. The marinas and charter fleets are identical whichever spelling you search.
