The wake parts and the island leans into view: limestone cliffs rising like held breath, the sea pushing you toward Formentor’s small crescent of sand. Departing Puerto d’Alcúdia, the cruise slides past Aucanada Lighthouse and the pines of Pinar Cape, the coastline opening in measured beats until you drop anchor in the Bay of Pollença.

History
The Formentor headland and its lighthouse have guided sailors since the 19th century; Alcúdia’s harbour area also contains Roman and medieval layers that shaped the coast’s maritime use.
Conservation
The northern Mallorca coast is sensitive to boat traffic and anchoring; follow local rules, avoid leaving waste, and use marked anchor zones to protect seagrass and marine life.

Arrive early at the kiosk
The boarding point is the Cruceros Brisa kiosk on Passeig Marítim; arrive 15–20 minutes early to check in and grab a good seat.
Bring reef shoes
Formentor’s shoreline is pebbly; reef shoes make entering and exiting the water comfortable and protect feet on slippery rocks.
Prepare for sun and wind
Sunscreen, a hat and a lightweight windbreaker for the return trip keep you comfortable as the sea breeze ramps up.
Consider motion sickness prevention
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding — the open sea can be choppy.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects against strong Mediterranean sun during the beach stop and open‑boat exposure.
