Full Description & Details
Club de Mar is a private marina located on the southwestern side of the Bay of Palma in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands. Founded in the early 1970s, it serves as an exclusive yacht club and home port for vessels ranging from small boats to large yachts. The facility occupies a strategic position at the end of the bay, offering a more tranquil and private setting while remaining within a few kilometres of the historic centre, the cruise terminal, and about 10 minutes by road from Palma de Mallorca International Airport. The club promotes nautical sports and hosts regattas such as the annual Illes Balears Classics. It holds a concession lease until 2044 and has a remodelling project intended to adapt facilities to a new port-city concept, extending public-use areas and improving services.
The marina offers more than 500 wet berths, with several kilometres of docks catering to vessels up to 170 m in length. Most berths accommodate boats between 4 m and 12 m, while designated areas handle superyachts. The maximum draft is 9 m and the minimum draft is 3 m. Harbour access is continuous and the bottom is sandy. Southwest winds are considered dangerous and can produce uncomfortable conditions in the bay.
Amenities include fueling stations and diesel delivery at the berth, mains water, electrical supply up to 400 A three-phase at the dock, Wi-Fi, and vacuum wastewater removal. The site provides 24-hour dock staff and security, showers, laundry, a medical office, and restrooms with handicap accessibility. Repair workshops cover electrical, mechanical, and structural work, and a crane service is available for haul-out. On-site facilities include a supermarket, restaurant, bar, lounge, and swimming pool. A shuttle service connects the various port areas.
The marina operates year-round with all-year nautical courses and events. Formalities are handled at the dock and berthing assistance is available for approach and docking maneuvers. Skippers should note that southwest winds present the primary hazard in the bay. The site sits near the Paseo Maritimo and public road transport serves the surrounding area, while nearby S'Arenal beach and the city centre offer shoreside options.
How to get there
Enter the Bay of Palma and make for the southwestern end of the bay. The marina is situated at Muelle Pelaires in the port area. Contact Club de Mar on VHF channel 9 before arrival to request berthing assistance and docking instructions.
Sources do not publish specific approach waypoints or channel markers, so navigation should rely on standard harbour charts for Palma. Be aware that southwest winds can produce uncomfortable conditions within the bay. By land, Club de Mar lies about 4 km from the port of Palma and the historic centre.
Palma de Mallorca International Airport is roughly a 10-minute drive away. The facility sits beside the Paseo Maritimo and is accessible by public road transport. Dock staff handle formalities and berthing assistance upon arrival.
