Alcaidesa Marina is pleased to welcome the classic
sailing boat, Rafael Verdera. According to its owner & Capitan,
Mikel Arizmendi, she is the oldest remaining Spanish boat in active
service. She has been sailing since 1841, hence she has 172 years of
history. Her base port is in Palma de Mallorca, from where she is
commonly employed in excursions throughout the Balearic Islands. With
the arrival of winter, Mikel, his wife & two children, who form part
of the crew together with 2 other sailors, have decided to set sail for
the milder winters of the Canary Islands and along route have opted to
visit our Marina which had been recommended to them by previous
visitors.
