I have moved my boat to near Barcelona. Long day-sail - short overnight to Balearics and France around the corner. Excellent and lots of cheap flights to Barcelona and rail to marina(s)
Thanks Paw - what sort of cost are cheapest moorings, say Barcelona. I have no idea about this just wondering about feasibility for me buying a cheap boat out in the sun, rather than buying a bigger boat here in the grey!
Thanks for the link - intersting that cranage is half uk rates and that storage is by the square metre. As a small cat owner I get annoyed at the arbitrary +50%, at least the storage square meterage charge has some basis of logic.
We are Based in Alcudia and Pollenca Do use winter moorings to save a few euro & mainland usually less but what do you call cheap for loa ?
Or can swing for free.
I keep my boat in Port Balis just outside Barcelona which is owned by a Spanish Yacht Club / sports club. really nice people but a 3/4 hour train ride from the Airport. We live in Spain so we drive there. Being club members gets us a discount and the mooring fees are around 800€ a year less than Gibraltar - I think it is a great place as a cruising base near Balearic's, France, Corsica and Italy. Lots of facilities, cafes bars gym and boaty things
