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.

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.
This stretch of Mallorca carries layered stories: Roman roads inland, Arab agricultural terraces, and the Tramuntana’s uplifted limestone that sculpts steep cliffs and narrow inlets. Formentor’s headland keeps watch at the bay’s mouth; the geology makes these coves calm and clear, ideal for seeing fish and, often, passing dolphins that seem to escort visiting yachts.
Onboard, the experience is local and practical: a German-run 14 m yacht, small groups (up to 10), freshly cooked tapas, Spanish wines and an open bar. Crew offer basic sailing instruction and let guests take the helm if they wish; snorkeling gear and SUP use are included. The trip is accessible—one toilet, an outside shower, and a request to board without shoes.
Plan for sun and motion: take seasickness meds if you’re sensitive, bring swimwear and towels, and apply reef-friendly sunscreen (but not on shoe soles). Morning sails are cooler and calmer; late-afternoon departures soften the light for photos. Contact the operator the day before to confirm weather; they’ll reschedule if conditions turn. Expect four hours of relaxed sailing, food, short swims, and horizon views that keep you connected to Mallorca’s sea and shore.

Mallorca’s north coast reflects Roman and later Arab influences, with ancient fishing settlements and the Tramuntana uplift shaping cliffs and bays.
Use reef-safe sunscreens and avoid anchoring on seagrass beds (posidonia) when possible; small-boat etiquette helps protect fragile coastal habitats.
