Sa Calobra
Sa Calobra, nestled in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and overshadowed by the impressive Puig Major, is a renowned anchorage spot in the yachting industry. Its main attraction lies in the stunning views of the Torrent de Pareis gorge. While the access by road is extremely difficult, there is a small dock for tender collection and drop-offs. For greater convenience, it is recommended to use the Port de Sóller, just a short 20-minute tender ride away.
Sa Calobra offers a secluded and picturesque setting, perfect for relaxation and enjoyment away from crowded coastal areas. Water activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and diving are popular here, allowing visitors to explore the coastline and its underwater wonders. Additionally, the surrounding Serra de Tramuntana provides ample opportunities for hiking and immersing oneself in the natural beauty of the area. Despite the challenging road access, Sa Calobra remains a favoured destination for yacht owners and charterers, offering a unique blend of natural splendour and tranquillity in the Mediterranean.
Port de Sóller
Located adjacent to the charming town of Sóller, the anchoring spot of Port de Sóller offers a convenient and picturesque location for yachts in the yachting industry. Situated amid a beautiful valley, the town itself is a sight to behold, making it a worthwhile destination for visitors. With its array of restaurants along the beach, guests can enjoy delicious cuisine while soaking in the stunning views that surround them. Access to collection and drop-offs is straightforward, as the Marina Tramontana provides easy entry for tenders.
Port de Sóller's appeal lies not only in its accessibility but also in its delightful atmosphere. The combination of a charming town, a scenic valley, and a bustling marina creates a vibrant and inviting ambiance for yacht owners and charterers. Whether strolling through the streets of Sóller, sampling local delicacies, or simply admiring the beauty of the beach, visitors to Port de Sóller are sure to find a delightful and memorable experience.
Sa Foradada
Sa Foradada, situated on Mallorca's west coast, is a highly sought-after anchorage spot in the yachting industry. Nestled in Cova de Sa Sal, it provides good wind protection and offers breathtaking views of the Serra de Tramontana. Anchoring requires caution due to a mixture of posidonia, sand, and coral reefs, with care needed to avoid the seaweed patches that are part of the island's maritime reserve.
Despite being crowded during the day in high season, the anchorage becomes calmer in the evening, making it advisable to arrive early in the morning to secure a spot. Collections and drop-offs can be arranged at the nearby Port de Sóller, accessible within a 10-minute tender ride. Sa Foradada promises a captivating and exclusive setting for yacht owners and charterers, ensuring an unforgettable escape in Mallorca.
Formentor
Cala Formentor, located on the northwest coast of Mallorca, is one of the most beautiful and popular locations on the island, a must-visit when visiting the island on a yacht. Situated approximately 7km from the Port of Pollença, this beautiful and popular beach offers a natural paradise with its fine white sand and picturesque surroundings of pines and holm oaks.
The water and underwater conditions in Cala Formentor are excellent for anchoring, making it an ideal spot for superyachts. Additionally, the anchorage spot provides easy access for collection and drop-offs via tender, further enhancing its convenience for yacht owners and charterers. Cala Formentor's combination of stunning natural beauty, tranquil waters, and easy accessibility make it a favored destination for those seeking a delightful and memorable yachting experience on the island of Mallorca.
Es Trenc
Es Trenc, renowned as one of the most famous beaches in Mallorca, captivates visitors with its stunning features. Its 2-kilometer stretch of bright sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters make it a popular destination, especially during the summer months. The rocky coastline, adorned with wild vegetation and grasses, adds to the natural allure of the beach.
Due to the absence of a dock and the challenging road access, it is advisable to opt for collections and drop-offs in Sa Ràpita, conveniently located just a 10-minute tender drive away from Es Trenc. This alternative ensures a smoother and more convenient experience for yacht owners and charterers.
Es Trenc's popularity may result in a bustling atmosphere during peak season, but its
undeniable beauty
continues to attract visitors seeking the idyllic combination of
pristine waters and sandy shores. With its clear blue waters and picturesque landscape, Es Trenc remains a
must-visit beach destination on the island of Mallorca.
Please
keep in mind that when dropping your anchor in the Balearics, you must be careful to conserve the
posidonia. Therefore,
anchors should be dropped at least 50m from the coast, 200m from beach areas and always on sand.
