Porto Petro Marina

This small marina maintains berths for visiting yachts. Call them on the VHF Channel 09 to make arrangements. The berths are either along the quay or on pontoons. Every berth has a laid mooring.

Anchorages

During the summer months Balears Life Posidonia, operating on behalf of the Government of the Balearic islands of Mallorca, Menorca, Inbiza and Formentera, offer free buoys at nine different locations in the Balearic islands. Porto Petro is one of these.

The objective of Balears Life Posidonia is to protect the Posidonia sea grass fields. Where provided, use of the buoys is obligatory and anchoring is prohibited except in sand. Use of the buoys is free. They are color-coded and indicate the boat size and wind speeds they are intended for. Buoys may be booked on line from 1 June until 30 September. For bookings and further information, please see the 4-language website of Baleraslifeposidonia.eu or by telephone at 902 422 425.
