Full Description & Details
es Portitxol is a marina in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, located in the La Soledat Nord area of the city. It is operated by Club Nautic Portitxol, a non-profit entity that reinvests its income into facilities and sporting activities. The marina is part of a larger rada, or bay, that contains roughly 750 moorings for small boats, with about 400 of those managed directly by the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands. Most vessels here are under 8 meters, with the most common sizes between 5 and 7 meters.
The marina offers up to 280 berths with a maximum draft of 2.5 meters. Berthing is by mooring lines, stern to dock, or alongside a catway. Holding is not described in the sources, so skippers should rely on standard Mediterranean anchoring practice if using a swinging mooring. The club has recently completed planned onshore works and is in the process of renewing its concession, which was set to be granted for 15 years from December 16, 2025, subject to further adaptation works and relocation of the current boatyard.
Facilities at es Portitxol include fuel, water, electricity, showers, toilets, laundry, wifi, a restaurant, and a boat lift. The marina can be contacted on VHF channel 9 or by phone at +34 971 242424. Nearby attractions include Palma Old Town, Palma Aquarium, and Bellver Castle, all within easy reach of the marina.
Skippers should note that the marina is not part of any online booking platform, so berths are arranged directly. The club is a non-profit, and membership options exist for those seeking long-term moorings, with an entry fee of 6,000 euros that can be paid in installments. The best season for sailing in this part of the Mediterranean is typically late spring through early autumn, though the sources do not specify any seasonal restrictions for the marina itself.
