The Port of Ciutadella

Ciutadella has a narrow, elongated natural harbor that extends all the way to the heart of the city. It is a very sheltered harbor, though known for rissagas—sudden fluctuations in sea level that can be particularly strong here. It’s best to leave plenty of slack when mooring and check your lines if a warning is issued.

Its Own Weather Station

The club has a weather station on its premises, which is useful for checking wind and conditions before heading out.

Tips for Mooring in Ciutadella

• Reserve in advance during the summer and the Sant Joan festivities, when the harbor gets crowded.
• Leave some slack in the lines to account for the swells.
• Refuel during the gas station’s operating hours or notify them via VHF.
• Enjoy the club’s restaurant, which overlooks the harbor.

A Hundred Years of the Club

The club is celebrating its centennial as a hub for sailing and the sea in Ciutadella. For visitors, this means a club with a vibrant local scene: regattas, courses for children, fishing trips, and a restaurant where members and passing sailors mingle.

For Those Arriving from Mallorca

Ciutadella is the Menorcan port closest to Mallorca, which is why many boats use it as their first stop after crossing the strait. It’s best to arrive during the day, as the harbor entrance is narrow and the port extends deep into the city.
