The Club Nautico is beautifully situated in the narrow fjord-like natural port of Ciutadella. Just a few steps separate you and the next authentic port bar – exactly what many sailors are looking for.
Location & Approach Just like its bigger sister of Mallorca, the small island of Menorca (or Minorca) from the Balearics Archipelago in western Mediterranean is also suitable for trips and sailing opportunities, which is why many crew head out here for the summer. One of the most well-known and appreciated marinas on the island is Marina Club Nautico in Ciutadella.
The marina sits safely in a natural bay which has an elongated narrow shape, being very well protected by the long shores which are close to one another and also heavily indented (especially the north one). sailors will find here all the amenities required for a safe and pleasurable stay.
At the end of the port you’ll find the marina, sitting between beautiful houses of the old town center. The coordinates are (39° 59,7′N 03° 49,5′E) with the marina offering you radio assistance on radio channel 9 VHF. The approach is made easy, the only thing the skipper will have to watch being to keep well away from both sides of the channel. Inside the marina, the maximum draft for boats is 3m.
Visitors should be aware of a strange phenomenon called seiche (rissagues) which takes place in the port. In this case, the water level rises and decreased up to 1.5m in a very short period of time. Many boats are caught unprepared by this phenomenon and end up suffering considerable damage, especially since there is no foolproof way of predicting it.
Infrastructure & Ambience Due to the small size of the bay, the marina too had to adjust its size so that only 100 berths await their customers at the Marina Club Nautico. The mooring is to stern to pier and is for boat of a maximum length of 20m.
On the pier, you’ll find the usual services, such as drinkable water and electricity (220V type), as well as other of the usual amenities, such as a laundry service, toilets and showers, a supermarket, harbor master, a weather service and a shipyard where you can perform basic repairs.
