You step aboard as the quay in Palma’s main port hums behind you and the mast creaks like a ship clearing its throat. The sail fills, the city shrinks to sun-bleached tile and stone, and the boat slips into Palma Bay where coves and cliffs take turns daring you to dive. On a four-hour charter this coastline reads like a map of small pleasures: citrus-scented breezes, the slap of water against dark teak, and the easy ritual of tapas served while the horizon keeps moving.
