When to Haul Out Your Boat

• Most recreational boats need bottom cleaning and antifouling once a year, usually between late winter and early spring.
• Take advantage of the dry docking to inspect anodes, the propeller, shaft, bow, through-hull fittings, and rudder.
• Repairs while the boat is afloat eliminate the need to haul the boat out of the water for work that does not affect the underwater hull.

Llaüts and wooden boats

Ciutadella has a long tradition of llaüts and wooden boats, and Varadero Ciutadella features a shipwright’s shop and staff specialized in wood maintenance. These boats require specific care:

• Caulking of hull joints to keep the hull watertight.
• Treatment and varnishing of wood exposed to sun and salt.
• Paint suitable for wooden hulls and compatible antifouling.
• Inspection of planks, frames, and caulking to detect rot early.

Dry Dock and Storage

Dock storage includes storage, security, and safekeeping on land, and is ideal for the winter. Repair storage allows you to leave the boat afloat in the dry dock while work is performed that does not require removing it from the water. In addition, the dry dock has water and electricity to ensure a comfortable working environment.

Boat Transport

We transport boats by sea and by land, which is useful for moving them from other locations in Menorca or to the dry dock.
