Bonaire do good winter deals afloat, when most of the residents are hauled out. Since the big storm of about ten years ago when the breakwater was destroyed it has been rebuilt to a high standard and the marina is now fully secure.

Port Addaya on Minorca is totally sheltered, very helpfull staff. We have several friends who wintered ashore there, but I can't think of anywhere we've been with better shelter.

Hopefully an email request might be more reasonable. I just filled in their booking form and it came up with €6600 for six months! Presumably the daily rate x 180 days.
