Mallorca is the undisputed superyacht capital of the western Mediterranean. Every summer, the island hosts the largest concentration of luxury yachts in Europe — drawn by the quality of the marinas, the proximity of beautiful sailing grounds, and the excellent infrastructure built up over decades. Choosing the right marina makes a significant difference to your experience.
Whether you're planning an extended stay, a week-long charter base, or simply need a berth between passages to Ibiza and Menorca, this guide covers every major marina in Mallorca in detail — from the showpiece Port Adriano to the working harbours of the north coast that few visitors know about.
Mallorca's top marinas fill up fast — particularly July and August. Port Adriano and Puerto Portals regularly have waiting lists of 6–8 weeks in peak season. If you need a berth in summer, contact us by April at the latest and we'll handle the reservation directly.
The Best Marinas in Mallorca
Designed by Philippe Starck and completed in 2012, Port Adriano is the most architecturally striking marina in the Mediterranean. The curved concrete structures, infinity-edge pool, and sculptural aesthetic make it unlike anything else in the Balearics. It accommodates vessels up to 80 metres and has excellent shore power, water, and fuel facilities. The surrounding village offers top-end restaurants and boutiques. Draft up to 6 metres is available on the outer pontoons. A prestige address — expect to pay for it.
Up to 80m Starck Design Southwest 5-Star FacilitiesPuerto Portals is arguably Mallorca's most social marina — the promenade is lined with well-known restaurants, yacht brokers, and boutiques, and the evening scene attracts the island's most glamorous crowd. The marina accommodates up to 660 vessels between 8 and 60 metres. Its location just west of Palma makes it an ideal base: 15 minutes from the airport and within easy reach of both the southwest anchorages and the capital's cultural attractions. Stern-to berths with finger pontoons for larger vessels.
Up to 60m Social Hub Restaurant Row Near PalmaThe historic heart of Palma's waterfront, RCNP sits directly below the cathedral and within walking distance of the old town. Founded in 1948, it remains one of the most prestigious addresses in Mediterranean sailing. The club is a regular host for offshore racing events and the prestigious Superyacht Cup Palma. Facilities are excellent, with 24-hour security, crane, and full technical services nearby. The city views from the stern are unmatched. Berths for vessels up to 65 metres.
Up to 65m City Centre Historic Club Walking Distance to Old TownPalma's commercial marina is the largest in the Balearics and the main superyacht hub of the island, accommodating vessels well over 100 metres. The long outer quay — known as the Paseo Marítimo frontage — is where you'll see the biggest yachts in Mallorca lined up in July and August. Less glamorous than Port Adriano or Puerto Portals but unbeatable for practical reasons: access to all Palma's services, boatyards, chandlers, and the island's main chandlery and technical hub at nearby Astilleros. Essential for larger vessels needing serious work done.
100m+ Largest in Balearics Full Technical Services Palma CityA naturally sheltered inlet surrounded by pine-covered hillsides, Puerto de Andratx has a character entirely different from the city marinas. It's genuinely beautiful — a working village that hasn't been entirely swallowed by the tourism industry. The marina (Club de Vela Puerto Andratx) handles vessels up to 40 metres with good facilities. The surrounding village has excellent restaurants and property values that reflect the location's desirability. A quieter alternative to Portals if you want a traditional Mallorcan feel without sacrificing access to good sailing grounds.
Up to 40m Sheltered Authentic Village SouthwestThe only natural harbour on Mallorca's dramatic north coast, Port de Sóller sits inside a near-circular bay ringed by the Tramuntana mountains. It's one of the most visually spectacular anchorages in the Mediterranean. The marina is modest — mainly catering to vessels under 25 metres — but the setting is extraordinary. The old-fashioned tram running along the waterfront adds to the timeless atmosphere. The village has a handful of good restaurants and a market on Saturdays. An essential stop on any north-coast itinerary.
Up to 25m North Coast Mountain Backdrop Natural HarbourAt the northern tip of Mallorca, the long natural bay of Pollença is one of the finest sailing areas in the Balearics — consistently good winds, flat water inside the bay, and spectacular scenery. The marina and adjacent Club Nàutic Port de Pollença accommodate vessels up to 30 metres and are well equipped. The town of Puerto Pollensa itself is one of the most charming on the island — a proper Mallorcan resort with good restaurants, markets, and a relaxed pace. Formentor Peninsula and Cap de Formentor are within an easy day sail.

When to Book
Peak season runs from mid-June to mid-September. During this window, every top marina in Mallorca operates at or near capacity. Port Adriano and Puerto Portals are particularly constrained — both have strict reservation systems and turn away walk-in requests during July and August.
Shoulder season (May and October) is a different story entirely. Berthing is plentiful, prices drop by 30–50%, the weather remains excellent, and the marinas are significantly less crowded. Many of our clients consider this the finest time to sail Mallorca.
If you're chartering with us, we handle all marina reservations as part of the booking. We have longstanding relationships with the harbour masters at all major Mallorcan marinas — which means we can often secure berths that are "officially" full during peak season.
Getting the Most from Mallorca's Marinas
Most visitors to Mallorca use a single marina as a base and day-trip by tender or dinghy. This is a valid approach, but it means missing the best of what the island offers. The most rewarding way to experience Mallorca by yacht is to move — spend two nights at Port Adriano, anchor in Cala Deià, pick up a buoy at Sa Calobra, and overnight in Port de Sóller before heading north. A multi-stop itinerary turns a stay in one marina into a journey across one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe.
Our team plans bespoke itineraries that combine marina stops with the best anchorages, beach clubs, and restaurants — all tailored to your vessel's size and your preferred pace. Contact us to discuss your trip.

Book a CharterFrequently Asked Questions
Which marina is best for a superyacht over 60 metres?
Moll Vell in Palma is your primary option for vessels over 60 metres — it has the deepest berths and the longest quays. Port Adriano can accommodate up to 80 metres on the outer positions and is a more prestigious option if available.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes — for July and August in particular, advanced booking is essential. For vessels over 30 metres, we recommend booking your berth at least 8 weeks ahead of arrival. We handle this on your behalf as part of our charter service.
Are there marinas in Mallorca with haul-out facilities?
Yes. The main boatyard areas are concentrated around Palma — Astilleros de Mallorca near Moll Vell offers haul-out for vessels up to 700 tonnes. Several smaller yards in Puerto Andratx also offer haul-out for vessels under 25 metres.
What's the best marina for access to anchorages?
Puerto Portals and Puerto Andratx both offer excellent access to the southwest anchorages. For the north coast — Sa Calobra, Cala Tuent, and the Cap Formentor area — Port de Sóller or Port de Pollença are ideal bases.
