Cabrera : Profile

Docking

If you wish to visit with your own boat, it is necessary to get authorisation from the park administration. Sailing permits of up to one month are granted, though anchoring is prohibited in the evening.

In July and August the administration grants permits to stay one night; two-night permits are granted in September and 7-night permits are granted during the rest of the year.

It is also necessary to get a permit to go scuba diving, and the park authorities will tell you where you can dive.

Mooring at the port of Cabrera is prohibited without a special permit from the military authorities.

There are mooring buoys which can be used and the charge during the 2011 summer season was 5 euro per day.

See the Cabrera Natural Park website for more information about the island.

Here is a useful map of the island.
