Standing on the warm deck as Palma's cathedral shrinks into the harbor, the bay unfurls: glittering flats of turquoise, cliffs that cut clean lines against the sky, and the wind steadying the sail. This half-day charter pushes out of Palma de Mallorca into the protective curve of the bay, dropping anchor at a sheltered cala where the water invites you to dive, snorkel, or climb onto a paddleboard.
