Wintering · Palma

Palma is the one port on Mallorca where you can winter a boat without ever leaving the bay. The STP yard and the commercial marinas around Contramuelle put travel-lifts of every size on the water, so an 8–25 m yacht is hauled, pressure-washed and chocked the same morning it comes out — no road transport, no waiting list at the ramp.

Because the yards here run year-round and compete for the same berths, winter quotes are keener than anywhere else on the island, but the good hard-standing fills from mid-October. Book the haul-out before the first autumn gregale and you also lock in the antifouling and guardianage slots that get scarce once every owner in the bay decides to lay up at once.
