Wintering · Alcúdia

Alcúdia is the wintering choice for the north of the island, and the north has its own weather. The tramuntana funnels down from the Serra with real force between November and February, so lay-up here is as much about securing the boat as storing it — cradles are strapped and covers doubled in a way southern yards rarely bother with.

Alcudiamar hauls on site, which keeps northern boats out of the cross-island trek to Palma, and the bay's sandy, shallow approaches mean smaller drafts are handled easily. Book ahead of the first strong tramuntana: once it blows, the calm crane mornings vanish and the good ashore spots go with them.

Common questions

Is winter storage in the north riskier than the south?

The tramuntana wind is stronger here, so proper cradling, strapping and covers matter more. Reputable Alcúdia yards factor this into their lay-up standard.

Can I haul out in Alcúdia itself?

Yes, Alcudiamar lifts on site, so northern boats avoid the trek to Palma for a standard winter lay-up.

Any draft limits in the bay?

The approaches are sandy and shallow, which suits smaller drafts well; very deep-keeled yachts should confirm the lift and berth depth in advance.
