The Balearic Islands are also an arrival point for many Mediterranean yacht cruises. Mooring fees in any of the yacht clubs (Palma de Mallorca, Mahón, Ciudadela, Andraitx and Ibiza) are reasonable. Facilities for other watersports, including water-skiing, windsurfing, parasailing and diving, are also available.
