I’m not aware of a public slipway in Puerto Pollenca, but if you haven’t already done so you could try the Port Authority there. Another option may be Bonaire in Pollenca Bay so maybe try them
If you are a little nervous about overnighting and want a gentle start, there are sheltered buoys available in Portopetro which would be a good and reassuring way to sample nights on the water
Not quite right. There is no time limit as long as you have had a booster jab. The 270 rule only applies if you have only had the first two vaccine doses
Not quite as I read it. They are going to start using the A/Z vaccine on under 55’s as they have a supply but they are still only using the Pfizer vaccine on over 55’s and as this is still in short supply it has only really been given to over 80’s and key care workers. The general population in...
So, assuming that boat usage is significantly down this year and this is reflected in a reduction in claims, can we expect premiums to reduce next year or at the very least stabilise?
I was in Salisbury Maryland on business last summer at the same time the White Marlin tournament was being held in Ocean City so went down to have a wander around.
I was amazed how many of the large multi- million $ Sportsfishers were displaying “Trump/Pence” flags although when seeing the...
The Cala D’Or Marina webcam show more cars parked this morning than there has been for a while as the lockdown for workers has begun to ease today. Long traffic jams into Palma this morning too apparently
+1 for Record. I use their “Just Go” option which includes full insurance and express line and still find prices cheaper or at worst comparable to the big brands basic offerings.
There were some issues with the Express Line ticketing system last year but they seem to have sorted it this year...
Despite getting the boat bug early on thanks to Arthur Ransome books I came late to boat ownership
2002 - Bayliner 2655 for 3 months. Based on Windermere.
Late 2002- 2005 - Bayliner 2855. One year on Windermere then moved it to Mallorca
2005-2009 - Sealine S34 in Mallorca
2009 sold boat and...
A friend in Cala D’Or has just sent me a message to say that as he was mooring today after a day out his battery charger caught fire!
He was just tying off his lines and hadn’t reconnected to shorepower so whatever the issue was it presumably must have been a battery/alternator issue. Both the...
Well I’ll start that ball rolling my first two boats were Bayliners - 2655 which we had for 3 months before trading up to a newer 2855 which I loved. RIP and thank you.
Dunno who is in charge now but I did notice that Russell Currie the previous MD has switched his Mallorca dealership from Fairline to Princess! Hardly a ringing endorsement from someone in the know.
This one, although I think this one may be outdated now as I can’t see Cala D’Or on it.

Issued by the Balearic government, I think most marinas will have copies.
At 26ft we can still get to most places ?. Apparently despite the sand Cala Gran is officially designated a no anchor zone, according to the official leaflet at least.
