Overview
Palma de Mallorca is one of the Mediterranean’s leading yacht refit, repair, provisioning, crew and Balearic cruising bases.
This guide currently focuses on STP Shipyard Palma, Balearic emergency information and practical refit/crew-base context. Customs and port-formality notes still require deeper official-source verification.
Captain notes
Palma is useful for refit, maintenance, provisioning, crew logistics, guest access and Balearic cruising. Captains should plan yard slots, berth requirements, subcontractor access, airport transfers and customs/immigration procedures before arrival.
Marinas and berthing
Palma marina and berth options should be verified directly with each marina before arrival. This guide has not yet completed a full berth-capacity review for all Palma marina options.
Port authority
Port authority, customs, immigration, berth and arrival procedures for Palma should be confirmed through official Spanish/Balearic sources, the marina or yacht agent before arrival.
Customs and immigration
Spain is in the Schengen area, but yacht, charter, crew, guest, VAT and non-EU procedures should be verified through official Spanish sources or an experienced yacht agent before arrival.
Emergency contacts
Balearic Islands emergency number: 112. Official Balearic safety information states that 112 is the emergency service number and that calls are free.
Doctors, hospitals and medical support
Hospital and medical-support details for Palma have not yet been fully verified in this guide. Use 112 in an emergency, and confirm non-emergency medical facilities with the marina, agent or crew medical provider.
VHF and radio notes
Marina, port and working VHF channels for Palma have not yet been verified from official sources in this guide. Captains should confirm channels with the marina, port authority or yacht agent.
Bunkering
Bunkering and fuel arrangements should be verified with the marina, yacht agent or approved supplier before operational use.
Provisioning
Palma is a strong provisioning and crew-support base. Specific suppliers should be selected from verified companies, the Business Hub and current yacht-agent recommendations.
Crew notes
Palma is one of the Mediterranean’s strongest crew bases, with training, contractors, provisioning, shore support and airport access. This section should be expanded with verified local supplier and crew-service links.
Refit and repair
STP Shipyard Palma describes itself as a leading refit and repair facility with services for vessels up to 120 metres in length and 1,000 tonnes weight. Captains should verify current lift, berth, contractor, insurance and booking constraints directly with STP before planning work.
Security and safety
Shipyard access, contractor rules, hot-work procedures, marina access and delivery rules should be verified with the yard or marina before work begins.
Seasonal and weather notes
Palma is heavily used for Mediterranean season preparation, Balearic cruising and winter work periods. Yard and marina demand can be high, so slots should be planned early.
Local rules
Balearic anchoring, environmental, marina and port rules should be checked from official sources before arrival or cruising. Posidonia and protected-area rules may be relevant depending on route and anchorage.
Sources and verification
Batch 1 source notes. Initial operational research updated from STP Shipyard Palma and official Balearic/Spanish emergency sources.
