General - Puerto de Mahon is an attractive port set in a deep, long cala. It serves commercial, naval and fishing vessels as well as providing excellent facilities for yachts. The approach and entry are so easy that it is possible to enter even in storm conditions. Good shelter is found once inside. Naval and commercial vessels together with ferries have right of way over yachts inside the port.
