Sailing Area & Interesting Sites

La Rapita
Founded by Charles III of Spain as a port to serve trade with the Spanish colonies, and constructed in the neoclassical style of the period: The town has two large marinas, a beach, a market and many shops and fish restaurants –shellfish or prawns are excellent here as this is a major fishing port.

Porto Cristo
Porto Cristo is a typical Spanish fishing village, a quiet resort, perfect if you want to retreat and get away from it all. Porto Cristo beach is well protected from the wind and seaborne storms. The situation of the beach means that it is an ideal spot for swimming right from the start of summer.

Porto Petro
A small port with wonderful coves for swimming such as Cala Barca

Cabrera
Cabrera is a Natural Reserve since 1991. Just over an hour sailing from Majorca, this group of islands and rocky isles, fantastic wildlife flora and fauna and a 14th century Castle make it well worth a visit.

Formentera
Formentera lies a few miles to the south of Ibiza. With its palm-fringed sandy beaches and clear, turquoise waters, this island is reminiscent of the Caribbean when the temperatures really rise in the summer. The long sandy spit of Illetas on the north side of the island is a favourite anchorage with magnificent views across the straits.

Ibiza
A fifty-mile sail southwest of Mallorca, Ibiza is blessed with excellent harbours and marinas, beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters over a sandy floor. Offering superb opportunities for swimming and snorkelling, there are also great facilities ashore, with restaurants, many shops and non-stop action and nightlife in old Ibiza.

Mallorca
Our base in the islands is at the Real Club Nautico de Palma (Royal Palma Yacht Club), framed by the gothic cathedral and citadel. Mallorca (Majorca) is an island of contrasts offering a blend of bustling fishing ports, such as Andraitx, Sóller and Pollença, where some of the finest restaurants and shops are to be found, while the rugged west coast offers fascinating landscapes, with lofty mountains dropping steeply into the sea.

Menorca
Just a half day’s sail from Cala Ratada on Mallorca will bring you to the least populated of the main islands, Menorca. On the west coast lies the historic town of Ciudadela with a delightful harbour and fishing boats. The dockside cafés and restaurants of the natural harbour on Mahon on the southeast coast buzz with activity, while you’ll find total tranquillity in the sheltered inlet at Addaya or in one of the many coves within the Bah’a de Fornells.
