Virtual Mallorca yachting guide information provided by www.mallorcamarine.com

Mallorca has always been a centre of nautical activity, largely due to its location in the beautiful Mediterranean plus its proximity to Spain, France, Italy and the other islands in the Balearic chain. This tradition hasn't fallen off in time, and nowadays the island sports a lively yachting industry and many well-equipped harbours along the entire coast. Though most of the island's chandlery, haulout, and repair & refit facilities are based in Palma de Mallorca, modern and professional services are available at harbours everywhere on the island.

One of the big draws of Mallorca is the magnificent bay in Palma. This plays host to literally thousands of boats from tiny Mallorcan fishing boats to multi-million pound motor cruisers, the play things of the super rich. If you are a yacht owner, or a yacht owner in the making we recommend Mallorcamarine.com an enourmous site that has all the information you may need about boat and yacht companies in Mallorca, from a comprehensive business directory, listed by catagory (sailmakers, Yacht carpenters, bilge cleaning etc) to information about Mallorca´s many harbours and ports. On similar lines, if you are lucky enough to be in the market for a new boat mallorcaboats4sale.com has details of all the major yacht brokers in Mallorca.
