Cabrera natural park, Balearics, Spain

[lfabio]

Hello everyone,
I understand that in order to moor in the bays of the island of Cabrera, you need to 'notify park authorities', per the pilot book and the Balearics government website. However, they do not answer the phone and do not answer emails.

Is there a way to get in touch with them? Or should we do as the locals suggested and .... just visit?

You can book and pay online or if visiting for the day then anchoring is permitted in one bay Google will bring up their web address.

Steve,
thanks for the reply - I am usually pretty good with google but I could not find the 'book and pay online' website.

Edit: found!

Used it yesterday to book a slot on Friday - had to book as a charter boat as it seems nothing available at any time for private bookings

Aha! the top one is an even better link because it allows you to file for the 'navigation only' permit.

The bottom one unfortunately has a session token, so it won't work repeatably - but you can get there from your top link, it's the same interface as the one I posted.

Now the only slight problem is that the only availability seems to be on Friday... oh well.

I tried to add, but failed as the editor here seems a bit broken sometimes, that I've booked for Friday but had to do so as a charter boat as nothing is available anytime for private so far as I could see

I seem to recall having a difficulty in the booking form with finding UK or British nationality dropdown box. It is of course in Spanish and is REINO UNIDO.

Doh!

Ah, you can book as a charter boat and noone will complain? I would have thought that they would take exception...

No problem at all, and it is delightful. You really should try to get here!
