Marina di Minorca

The port of Mahón, Town main center of the island of Menorca, is the second largest port in Europe, a natural harbor 6 km in length from the mouth to its innermost dock. The area is sheltered from northerly winds, particularly the Tramontana wind, the strongest in the western Mediterranean, which is why from time immemorial, as far back as Roman times, this inlet has been used as a shelter for boats of all sizes.

The ports of Mahón, due to its extraordinary size, have very calm waters. If this element is added to the fact that the Mediterranean Sea has no tides, the visitor will seem to contemplate a majestic lake rather than a seaport. Moreover, being anatural inlet, the landscape at its edges is overwhelmingly beautiful, particularly the town of Mahón perched above the south coast with its truly distinctive white houses.

Theisland of Menorca is located halfway between Europe and North Africa, a strategic position that has always placed it at the center of the main Mediterranean routes, commercial but also tourist. The port of Mahón is structured on all the different areas of the small gulf, with piers used to welcome boaters, as well as cruise and merchant ships, which can take advantage of a well-equipped shipyard for every repair.

The port of Mahón over the years has always sought to improve itself, to improve its facilities and the services they provide to tourists. It has recently joined the Consortium of Nautical Stations of Menorca, integrated with the other two main Minorcan ports of Ciutadella and Fornells, with the aim of offering sailors everything they need, both in terms of the comforts that characterize a leisure visit and in terms of emergencies and repairs in case of breakdown.

The Marina of Menorca is a large complex that is not located in one spot in the port of Mahón, but rather has several berths throughout the gulf. The main location is the one indicated on the site, the Colarsega moorings, located in the innermost part of the bay. An additional mooring point is located at Cala Llonga, on the Passeig des Mariners. The marina has numerous other floating docks for all eventualities.

Among the many services offered, maintenance constitutes the excellence of this port. The shipyard provides boaters with a 10-ton crane and a 35-ton Travel Lift for onshore maintenance of any vessel.

But the most special service is for engines: an official technical service of the inboard and outboard engine brands Volvo Penta, Yanmar, Suzuki, Honda, and many others among the best known.

More common services, on the other hand, include an overhaul or installation service for radiogoniometers, and more classic carpentry and painting services for the hull and interior of boats.

In addition, an administrative boat management service is in operation, with the possibility for boaters to make loco any changes of ownership, ITV matriculations and revisions, and even insurance.
