The hull rocks gently as you push off from Bonaire in Alcúdia, wind filling the sails and the bay of Pollença opening like a bright breath ahead. The sea dares you toward sheer limestone coves—Coll Baix, Cala Murta, Formentor—where water turns from slate to turquoise and the yacht slips into private anchorages for swimming, snorkeling, or a lazy SUP session.

Take seasickness medicine ahead of time

Board barefoot and light
Leave shoes ashore and wear non-marking deck shoes or go barefoot; the operator requests no shoes on board to protect the deck.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen to protect marine life and avoid putting lotion on the soles of your feet where it can smear the deck.
Confirm weather a day before
The operator may reschedule for safety—message them via WhatsApp the day prior to check conditions and pickup details.
