How to get there
Navigating into Port de Ciutadella requires caution due to rocks at the entrance of the cove. Mariners should be especially aware of the 'rissaga,' a meteorological phenomenon where sea water level can drop significantly in a short time, which has previously caused damage to anchored boats.
The marina monitors VHF channel 9 for communications. The entrance is straightforward in normal conditions, but always check local weather and tide warnings before approaching.
