Palma's club marina on the west side of the commercial harbour, adjacent to the STP shipyard cluster. This is the Balearic refit and wintering capital, not a pretty-village stop.

Italy's superyacht shipyard town. The marina is competent; the real intelligence is the build-and-refit cluster (Benetti, Perini legacy, smaller specialists) and the canal/harbour geometry.

The premium marina on Ibiza's south harbour, facing Dalt Vila. Summer nights are an operations problem: tenders, music, and a visitor list that closed in the spring.

A purpose-built superyacht marina inside Barcelona's historic Port Vell. Inventory is almost entirely 20 m+, with published capability toward 190 m. This is not the public Port Olímpic marina.

Philippe Starck's southwest Mallorca marina: a designed superyacht basin with a beach-club atmosphere and published berths into the 80–100 m range. Quieter than Palma, still reservation-critical in July.

A small, photogenic, operationally unforgiving town quay. Depth, LOA and summer reservation reality are all tighter than the reputation suggests. Les Marines de Cogolin and Port Grimaud are the overflow system.

The principality's deep, breakwater-protected yacht harbour and the operational heart of the Monaco Yacht Show. Night entry is controlled, megayacht quays are scarce, and September occupancy is a planning problem rather than a berth search.

Nice's working and yacht harbour at Lympia: ferry traffic, a genuine city port of entry, and a practical crew-change harbour 15 minutes from NCE. It is not a megayacht showcase.

Europe's largest yachting harbour by berth count, with a dedicated inner world of 20–165 m berths behind Vauban's ramparts. The planning problem is not whether a 24 m berth exists — it is whether the inner quays will take your 55 m in July.

The Costa Smeralda flagship: a designed harbour for large yachts, Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, and a short, violent high season. Winter is almost a different country.

West Mediterranean · 41.136°N 9.533°E

A tiny natural harbour with a global reputation. There is no meaningful megayacht marina here — there is a piazzetta, a handful of stern-to spots, and a bay. Santa Margherita and Genoa absorb the overflow.

The Costa del Sol's showpiece marina: dense, fashionable, and shallower than many first-time captains expect. A 45 m visit is a planning conversation; a 70 m visit is usually a different harbour.
