Puerto Deportivo de Cala Ratjada is located in the northeastern part of the island of Majorca, in the municipality of Capdepera.

Also located within the port area is the Club Nรกutico de Cala Ratjada, a sailing club founded in 1975.
The ports are publicly owned.
There are 215 berths within the port area and they are managed partly by the Government of the Balearic Islands and partly (more precisely, to the tune of 85) by Club Nรกutico de Cala Ratjada.
Of these berths, fourteen are reserved for passing boaters.
The parking of boats longer than 12 meters is always along the publicly managed pier.
The length allowed for boats entering the port is between 4 and 18 meters.
At the mouth of the harbor, the draft is 7 meters, while it decreases in the dock, accommodating only vessels with a draft between 1.80 and 4 meters.
Wavy motions from the south and southeast can make mooring difficult, even going so far as to impair access to the harbor.
Its convenient location to the neighboring island of Menorca makes it a popular port all year round, 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 supply columns on the docks, and boaters passing through here can use showers and toilets.
