Where our boats come from
Almost every boat we store belongs to someone on the eastern third of Menorca: the harbour itself, the Es Castell coves, the Sant Lluís coast and the exposed north. Each of those has its own weather, its own mooring habits and its own reasons for laying up.
4 areas
Mahon harbour
Five kilometres of sheltered water, which is why so many boats are based here. Winds funnel in through the entrance, and the further out you are moored the more you feel it.
Mahón

One yard, all of it within reach
Everything on this page is inside a twenty-minute drive of the yard. That matters more than it sounds: a short road journey means less handling, one trip rather than two, and no reason to leave the boat somewhere inconvenient just because it happens to be nearer.
Questions about coverage
Do you collect the boat?
We provide the storage. Getting the boat to the yard is arranged by the owner, usually on a trailer or with a local haulier. If you are not sure who to ask, mention it when you get in touch.
How far is the yard from these areas?
We are in the industrial estate on the edge of Mahon, so every area on this page is a short road journey away. The furthest, Es Grau, is about nine kilometres.
My cove is not listed. Can you still help?
Almost certainly. These fifteen are simply where most of our boats come from. If you are anywhere in the south-east of Menorca, get in touch.
