A low, salt-scented wind pushes the bow away from Port d'Alcúdia as the Abaris 23 slips into water the color of split sapphires. The coastline opens slowly: rocky promontories, small caves, and narrow coves that the cliffs keep to themselves until you arrive by sea. For eight hours you move at the pace of the bay—sometimes skimming bright swells, sometimes idling in a shallow lagoon with water warm enough to hold you.

Mallorca's north coast carries layers of history. The Roman town of Pollentia lies inland but its presence lingers in the terraces and fields; the shoreline shows older geology—limestone cliffs carved by waves and wind, creating caves and arches that dare a closer look. Local fishermen and small harbor towns still shape the culture here: menus, language, and the easy, midday rhythm of island life.
Practically, the rental gives access to Platja des Coll Baix, Formentor, and pockets of coastline unreachable by road. If you plan to helm the boat, bring your license and a credit card for a refundable deposit; a skipper is available for an extra fee. Anchor in sandy bottoms or use mooring buoys to protect Posidonia seagrass; the current can nudge you toward hidden caves, so steady handling matters.
Expect swimming, snorkeling, and long lunches on deck. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a light windbreaker for exposed passages, and a waterproof bag for electronics. Start early to avoid midday crowds at the best calas and to give yourself the calmest sea conditions for exploring the bay’s quieter corners.
