Puerto De Cala Ratjada

It is part of an old fishing port, which has been renovated and adapted to the needs of modern port since the 1960s. Also within the port area is the Cala Ratjada Nautical Club, a sailing club founded in 1975. The port is publicly owned. There are 215 berths in the port area and they are managed partly by the Government of the Balearic Islands and partly (more precisely, by a number of 85) by the Cala Ratjada Sailing Club. Of these moorings, fourteen are reserved for yacht passengers. The stop of the boat over 12 meters long always takes place along the public direction pier. The length allowed for ships entering the ports is between 4 and 18 meters. At the mouth of the port, the draft is 7 meters, while it is reduced at the pier, receiving only ships with a draft between 1.80 and 4 meters. Waves from the south and southeast can hinder mooring, also compromising access to the harbor. The convenient location to the nearby island of Menorca makes it a busy port throughout the year, especially in the summer season. The port of Cala Ratjada offers a security service, a laundry, and a fire-fighting service. There are electricity and water columns on the docks, and yachts passing through here can use showers and toilets. Within the port area there is a repair store, a service station, and a crane for lifting boats. In addition, there is a parking lot for those arriving by car.

From the port of Cala Ratjada, also a ferry to Menorca, near the landing you can find hotels, bars, restaurants, a veterinary clinic and some supermarkets. Cala Ratjada is located in the area of Capdepera, an area full of very picturesque beaches with different characteristics. The closest beach to Cala Ratjada is Son Mol, less than a kilometer from the port. It is about 150 meters long, sandy and easily accessible from the mainland. In general, it is filled up during the summer because of its easy access by land, as well as by the many sailors who have been found near the beach. At Son Mol you can use toilets and showers, rent hammocks and umbrellas. In addition, there is also a kiosk-bar on the beach. Not far from Cala Ratjada is also Cala Gat beach (more “wild” and with fewer services available nearby) surrounded by tamarind trees and the sea with crystal clear waters. The water in front of the bay is a popular destination for boaters. The entire area is part of Mallorca’s Llevant Marine Reserve, so it is good to know the rules for anchoring, diving and fishing. An interesting destination for those stopping at the ports of Cala Ratjada is the Capdepera Lighthouse, located at the point of the same name, less than two kilometers from the port area. From here you can enjoy a splendid view of the area. Archaeological sites and vestiges of the Talayotic civilizations can be found around the Cala Ratjada marina. In addition, the bas-reliefs of the Muntanyes de Sos Sastres allow hiking enthusiasts to take pleasant walks.
