Locations are listed in alphabetical area Alcudia Marina is situated in a larger harbour, which is used by commercial and fishing craft.

Puerto de Cabrera, on the northwest coast, has 50 laid moorings and yachts must use these overnight. It is possible to anchor in S'Illa des Fonoll bay on the east coast during the day.
