North Coast Adventure is a small boat operator based in Can Picafort, Illes Balears, offering guided coastal experiences around Mallorca. The company runs a selection of intimate trips aboard a 12-person boat, including dolphin-watching excursions, scheduled tours to the Bay of Pollensa and Formentor, private speedboat outings, and visits to the Levante Natural Park. Each itinerary emphasizes close encounters with marine scenery: sea caves, dramatic cliffs, secluded coves, unspoiled beaches, and snorkeling opportunities in clear waters.
Trips depart from Can Picafort with scheduled public departures and private charter options. Group sizes are kept intentionally small to ensure space for swimming, snorkeling, and cave exploration, and to provide a personalized onboard experience. The dolphin-watching excursion includes an explicit dolphin sighting guarantee as part of the offering.
Safety and local knowledge underpin the operation. Captains are familiar with Mallorca’s northern coastline, navigation routes, and protected natural areas such as the Bay of Pollensa and Cap de Formentor. Boats carry standard safety equipment and follow local maritime regulations for passenger transport.
North Coast Adventure markets its experiences to travelers seeking an active, nature-focused day on the water from Can Picafort. The operator offers multiple weekly departures for popular routes and private speedboat options for groups seeking a tailored itinerary.
