Soller – 39°47.75'N, 02°41.70'E

Additional pontoons have eased the pressure somewhat but it still gets full from time to time. In addition to anchoring, there are two options: the Islas Baleares Ports pontoons to starboard on entry (35 Eur for 11.80m) or the 'Marina Tramontana ' to port, bow or stern to a rather high quayside (57 Eur).

Water and electricity are included but other facilities are a long way from the IB Ports berths although the public loos next to the Mar y Sol restaurant(open at 9) are fairly close and usually very clean.

The IB Ports berths can be booked online at least 3 days in advance on www.portsib.es and follow the links.


Puerto El Arenal – 39°30.20'N, 02°44.90'E

Do not be put off by the comment in the Imray pilot to the effect that the Club Nautico marina is very expensive. In comparison with others in the area it is quite reasonable (Eur74 for 12m in July 2010) and the facilities are very good with free Wifi at the visitors ' berths. A good place to stop and stock up between anchorages and/or to change crew.
