Club Nàutic Sóller - Marina del Port de Sóller
Club Nàutic Sóller, located in the beautiful Port de Sóller, is a charming marina surrounded by the Tramuntana mountains, offering great facilities and an unforgettable base for boat trips along Mallorca’s stunning northwest coast.
Club Nàutic Sóller is the traditional yacht club and marina of Port de Sóller on Mallorca’s dramatic northwest coast, set in a deep natural harbour surrounded by the Tramuntana mountains and acting as the only real all‑weather refuge on this side of the island. Together with the adjacent Marina Tramontana and public quays, the port area offers hundreds of berths for small and medium‑sized yachts and is a key base for cruising, sightseeing and watersports in this spectacular region.
Location and natural harbour
Port de Sóller is located about 3 km from the inland town of Sóller and around 30 km from Palma, in a natural bay on the northwest coastline within the Tramuntana mountain range. The harbour entrance is clearly marked by the lighthouses at Cap Gros and Punta de sa Creu, and once inside, the bay provides very good shelter, making it the only real safe harbour on this otherwise rugged coast.
Club Nàutic Sóller sits along the fishing quay (C/ Moll Pesquer s/n, 07108 Sóller) and integrates fishing boats, leisure yachts and club facilities, giving the port a mix of authentic working‑harbour atmosphere and modern marina comfort. The adjacent beaches of Port de Sóller, with promenade, showers and accessibility features, lie right next to the port and are popular with both locals and tourists.
Berths and marina structure
Across the wider Port de Sóller, including public quays and Marina Tramontana, there are up to around 465–650 berths depending on the source, with maximum lengths between about 15 and 40 metres and maximum draughts of roughly 3–7 metres. The main municipal port area can accommodate up to about 465 boats with lengths up to 15 metres and draughts up to around 3 metres.
Within this port, Marina Tramontana manages about 64 berths for boats between 12 and 40 metres (and occasionally up to 60 metres in peak season on request), offering higher‑end facilities for larger yachts. Club Nàutic Sóller itself, based on the fishing quay, focuses on moorings and services linked to club activities, fishing and smaller leisure craft, forming part of the overall berth capacity of the harbour.
Facilities and services
Port de Sóller’s combined facilities (Club Nàutic, public port and Marina Tramontana) provide a complete service package for cruising yachts and local boats. Available amenities include:
- Drinking water and electricity at the dock for most berths.
- Workshop and maintenance area with crane (typically up to 12–20 tonnes), slipway and boat ramp for haul‑out and repairs.
- Grey‑water and bilge‑water collection systems to protect the environment.
- Fuel station with fixed opening hours (commonly morning and late afternoon).
- Toilets, showers, changing rooms and laundry services.
- 24‑hour harbour office and security presence.
The Club Nàutic Sóller also participates in local nautical activities and environmental initiatives and is linked from Visit Sóller as a key contact for moorings, diving, rentals and kayak services (via partners like Nàutic Sóller, Marina Tramontana and Món Nàutic).
Surroundings, beaches and activities
The harbour is bordered by a promenade lined with restaurants, cafés and hotels, and two main beaches: the port beach and Platja d’en Repic. Both beaches offer showers, lifeguard services, access ramps, rental of umbrellas and deck chairs, and the possibility to rent nautical equipment such as kayaks and paddleboards, making them suitable for families and visitors with reduced mobility.
Around the port, attractions include the Museu del Mar (maritime museum in the former Santa Caterina oratory) and the Torre Picada watchtower, which once defended the coast against pirates. The historic Sóller train and tram connect Palma, Sóller town and Port de Sóller, making the harbour a popular end‑point for day trips combining mountain scenery and seaside relaxation.
