Full Description & Details
Club Nautic de Cala Rajada is a marina occupying the western shore of the harbour of Cala Ratjada, on the northeast coast of Mallorca, Spain. It is the closest marina to the island of Menorca, making it a popular stopover for boats heading across the channel. The marina is part of the larger port of Cala Ratjada, which also includes a public quay and a slipway. The club has 130 berths, of which about 20 are available for transient boats, and it is a busy place in summer, so finding a berth can be difficult without a reservation.
The marina offers berths for boats up to 10 metres in length, with a maximum draft of 3.5 metres. Depths in the basin range from 1.8 to 4 metres, and the entrance channel has a depth of 7 metres. The harbour entrance is 60 metres wide. Mooring is stern-to with mooring lines. Larger boats, from about 12 metres, are berthed on the public quay rather than in the marina itself. Protection is poor from easterly to southeasterly swell, which can make berthing and staying in port uncomfortable in those conditions.
Facilities at the marina include fuel (diesel and petrol), water and electricity at the pontoons, showers, toilets, laundry, and wifi. There is a 7.5-tonne crane, a slipway, and repair services for mechanical, electrical and hull work. The club also has a sailing school, a restaurant, parking for members, and 24-hour surveillance cameras. Access to the pontoons is controlled with a chip card for members. The harbour office can be contacted by phone at +34 971 564 019 or by email at [email protected].
The marina monitors VHF channel 9. The maximum speed inside the port is 3 knots. The best season is generally outside the summer rush, when berths are easier to find. There are no specific restrictions mentioned beyond the size limits and the need to confirm reservations through the club. The marina is located at Explanada del Puerto s/n, 07590 Cala Ratjada, in the municipality of Capdepera.
