The day begins where the harbor exhales—Puerto Pollensa’s quay humming as a low-slung Robinson boat rocks against the pier. You push off into water that shifts from steel gray to immediate turquoise, cliffs sliding past like pages. The engine hums; wind and sea set the pace. Expect small-group energy: laughter, the clink of snorkel gear, and the captain calling out coves still sheltered from the island’s busier piers.

Mallorca’s north coast carries a layered history of sailors, watch towers and lighthouses—Formentor’s beacon has guided vessels since the 19th century. Geologically the coastline is Tramuntana limestone: sheer cliffs, hidden inlets, and beaches formed where resistant rock yields to waves. Culturally the area mixes traditional fishing villages with summer beach life; local bread, cold meats and paella served onboard reflect that blend.
On this five-hour loop you’ll cruise Pollensa Bay, anchor for two or three swim-and-snorkel stops (Ses Caleta, Cala Murta or Cala Engossalba), pass Cabo Formentor’s cliffs and pause at Formentor Beach. Expect clear water, posidonia meadows visible beneath, and guides who point out snorkeling pockets and safe entries.
Practical notes: morning departures usually mean calmer seas; bring reef shoes and a rash guard for sun and rocky entries. Snorkel equipment is provided but basic swimming confidence is required. Food—paella, salads, Mallorcan bread and fruit—comes during the mid-tour break with two drinks included. Watch for sun exposure on open decks and respect marine habitats—avoid standing on seagrass and take all trash with you. With straightforward logistics and a mix of relaxation and active water stops, the trip suits first-time snorkelers and bay enthusiasts alike.

Yes—masks, snorkels and often fins are supplied; you can bring your own for a better fit.
The trip is suitable for passengers who choose not to swim; however basic pool swimming ability is recommended for anyone entering the water.
Lunch—paella or a choice of chicken or pasta salad, cold meats, cheese, Mallorcan bread and seasonal fruit—is included, plus two carbonated drinks during lunch.
Take preventive medication before boarding, sit in the middle of the boat where motion is felt least, and keep hydrated; the crew can advise on calmer positions.
Formentor’s lighthouse and coastal watchtowers reflect centuries of maritime navigation and local fishing traditions on Mallorca’s northern coast.
The bay contains important posidonia seagrass meadows—avoid anchoring on them and follow guides’ advice to minimize impact; local operators often follow no‑trace boating practices.
