Depending on berth position, the marina can accommodate boats up to about 15 to 20 metres, with a maximum draft around 4 metres in certain areas.

Sailing culture and nautical community

The club environment creates a more community based atmosphere compared to purely commercial marinas, and it is especially appreciated by sailors who enjoy the traditional Mallorca yacht club culture.
