Gateway to the Tramuntana Coast
Port d'Andratx occupies a privileged position at the southwestern tip of Mallorca, where the Serra de Tramuntana mountains meet the sea. This historic fishing harbour has evolved into one of the island's most exclusive enclaves, attracting an international community of residents who value privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to some of the Mediterranean's most spectacular coastline.
Chartering from Port d'Andratx opens up the entire northwest coast — a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and mountain villages. Head north along the Tramuntana coast to Sa Foradada, the iconic pierced rock formation below the estate of Archduke Ludwig Salvator. Continue to the artist village of Deià, where Robert Graves once lived, and anchor in the tiny cala below.
To the south, the uninhabited island of Sa Dragonera rises from the sea like a sleeping dragon. This protected natural park offers exceptional snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, with the chance to spot dolphins, sea turtles, and Eleonora's falcons. Our experienced skippers know every anchorage and can craft an itinerary that balances adventure with relaxation.
