The catamaran slips out of Port d'Alcúdia with the island’s limestone shoreline sliding past like a living map: sheer cliffs, sandy bays and a lighthouse keeping watch. Salt sprays the deck; the sun turns the Mediterranean a bright, shifting blue that dares you to jump in.

The catamaran slips out of Port d'Alcúdia with the island’s limestone shoreline sliding past like a living map: sheer cliffs, sandy bays and a lighthouse keeping watch. Salt sprays the deck; the sun turns the Mediterranean a bright, shifting blue that dares you to jump in.
This five-hour loop explores Mallorca’s northern coast—passing Formentor’s long beaches and dropping anchor at remote coves such as Coll Baix and Cala d'Engossalba. Geologically, you’re skimming the island’s Miocene limestones where karst cliffs fall into seagrass meadows. Culturally the area carries traces of fishermen’s shelters, watchtowers and the 19th-century lighthouse at Aucanada that once guided coastal trade.
Onboard, the rhythm is simple: swim off the ladders, try the complimentary snorkel gear, paddle a kayak into a quiet inlet, then return to nets and benches for a BBQ of grilled chicken, pork and local salad with two included drinks. The crew handles anchoring and safety; the itinerary can shift with wind and sea state.
Practical essentials: arrive early at Passeig Marítim for boarding, bring reef-safe sunscreen and a towel, and secure cameras against spray. If you’re prone to seasickness, take precautions before departure—the trip is family-friendly and physically easy but exposed to sun and wind.
For photographers, early or late departures give softer light on the cliffs; for swimmers, the clearest water is usually at the secluded coves. This cruise pairs relaxed coastal exploration with accessible active options—snorkeling, kayaking, and shore swims—set against Mallorca’s rugged northern edge.

The north coast has long been a route for maritime trade and fishing; Aucanada’s lighthouse and scattered watchtowers reflect 19th-century navigation and earlier coastal defense systems.
Seagrass (Posidonia) meadows off Mallorca are ecologically important—avoid anchoring on vegetated seabeds and use marked mooring spots where provided to limit damage.
