Cabrera - Docking

The harbour entrance is hidden until you are upon it and then opens up into a beautiful natural bay with a 15th Century fortress on the port side that rises from a clump of stones. Entrance is possible in all winds but would be tricky if the wind was blowing very strongly from the north. Good shelter once inside.

Moorings

Around 50 moorings have been laid here (anchoring is forbidden) and must be reserved in advance via the following link:

Scroll down and go to the booking form: Fonder en Cabrera (anchoring in Cabrera)

Yachts must also submit a Permit of Navigation which is free to do. See comment at bottom of the page.

Bookings must be done via the website with an option to book in English (as well as Spanish and Catalan). You must apply and be registered for a permit before you can book a date.

Clearly the earlier you make the booking, the more chance you have of securing a buoy for your size boat. They will allocate you a buoy by colour which is dictated by the size of your vessel. If none are available, you may be given the option to reserve a larger buoy at extra expense.

You will receive a confirmation e-mail when your booking has been successful.

The number of permits is strictly limited and normally only 50 yachts are allowed on the island at any one time. Permits can only be obtained between a maximum of 20 days and a minimum of 2 days in advance, and only for 2 nights in July and August and 7 nights the rest of the year. Buoys can only be occupied from 18:00 the first day of your reservation until 17:00 the final day.

Sample cost for a 12-15m boat in September is approximately 20 Euros a night.

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