Boat storage in Es Murtar

Prevailing exposure

the tramuntana straight off the north

Es Murtar is one of those north coast places where boating has stayed traditional: boat houses at the waterline, wooden llaüts, and working craft pulled up by hand when the weather turns northerly.

Why laying up is normal here

The north coast is the harshest corner of Menorca in winter. Boat houses keep the sea out but do nothing about salt air or damp, and many were built for a wooden llaüt rather than a modern boat with an outboard.

How boats are kept in Es Murtar

There is no harbour and no pontoon. Boats live in the boat houses or on moorings in the small bay, and through winter the north coast takes the tramuntana full in the face with nothing to slow it down.

Storing a boat from Es Murtar

My boat is in a boat house. What do I gain by moving it inland?

Dry air and room to work. A boat house at the waterline stays salty and humid all winter; a closed warehouse inland breaks that cycle and leaves space around the boat.

Do you store boats for owners in Es Murtar?

Yes. We work with owners across Maó, including Es Murtar, with indoor and outdoor space for boats up to 10 metres overall.

What do you need to quote?

Length overall and beam, indoor or outdoor, and the months you want the boat stored. That is enough for a real price.
