A real dream cruise: the circumnavigation of Mallorca is a varied challenge. Within a week, you will get to know the different coastal sections of the island, its charms and many beautiful bays.

Highlights:

• The shimmering blue grotto Cova Blava
• An underground sea concert in Porto Cristo
• Sailing around the Caps Formentor

The weather is usually ideal in the summer months. Strong winds usually come from the north. As Sollér is the only sheltered mooring on the north-west side, it is recommended that you circumnavigate the island in an anti-clockwise direction. With the north wind at your back, the stage to Port d'Andratx is easy to manage. In the fall and winter, you can expect storms from time to time, and in the spring, visibility is occasionally limited by sea fog. And even in summer, occasional storms and thunderstorms require careful planning. It is recommended that you keep yourself informed about the sea weather on a daily basis, for example via Mallorca Island Radio.

DAY 1 FROM PALMA DE MALLORCA TO CABRERA (29 NAUTICAL MILES)

The cruise begins in beautiful Palma de Mallorca. On the first day, you will pick up your yacht and get to know the crew. It's best to familiarize yourself extensively with the boat and run some last-minute errands in the beautiful harbour of Palma de Mallorca.

From Palma de Mallorca, head south to the small island of Cabrera. It impresses above all with its unspoiled landscape and numerous small grottos and caves, some of which can be approached from the sea. Approaching the sheltered bay of Cabrera is unproblematic thanks to the great depth of the water around the entrance. Anchoring is prohibited and buoys must be reserved in advance.

Visit the Cova Blava on the north side of Cava Gandulf: the "Blue Grotto" is only accessible from the sea and shimmers an impressive blue thanks to the fine reflections.

DAY 2 FROM CABRERA TO PORTO CRISTO (30 NAUTICAL MILES)

On the second day, head for the marina in the former fishing village of Porto Cristo. The stage takes you along countless beautiful bays. If the weather is fine, take the opportunity to anchor and swim in one of the calas. Cala Domingos is located to the south of Porto Cristo and is a popular anchorage at 5-3 meters. There are various bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The marina of Porto Cristo stretches around the impressive, natural harbor bay of Cala Manacor.

Visit the Coves del Drac, the "dragon caves", when the sea is rough. The enormous stalactite cave system is home to the largest underground lake in Europe, where classical concerts are performed daily.

DAY 3 FROM PORTO CRISTO TO ALCÚDIA (33 NAUTICAL MILES)

The marina of Alcúdia offers good protection in mistral winds. Fairway buoys must be observed when approaching. The water depth drops to less than three meters in places. Registration is required for mooring.

The municipality of Alcúdia impresses with its historic city center with city walls from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. There are also many leisure and shopping opportunities. You can experience Mallorcan history up close at the excavation site of the ancient Roman city of Pollenca.

After a long sailing leg, treat yourself to delicious tapas or fish dishes in the Bodega Des Port at the port of Alcudia. With traditional Mallorcan cuisine of a high standard and excellent wines, you can end the day in a relaxed atmosphere.

DAY 4 FROM ALCÚDIA TO PORT DE SÓLLER (35 NAUTICAL MILES)

A real highlight of the trip is the circumnavigation of Cape Formentor on the northwest side of the island. This offers impressive views of the Mallorcan coast. The port of Sóller offers protection from the strong north wind. The popular natural harbor is located in the heart of the Serra di Tramuntana. The approach can be difficult in strong winds. The water is deep and free of shallows right into the bay.

The parish church of Sant Bartomeu from 1236 is a magnificent example of Spanish architecture. The different eras can be traced on its façade: While the gates and windows are still Romanesque, the fortification walls date from the 16th century. Today's appearance is dominated by baroque structures and a neo-Gothic bell tower. There is also a modernist façade from 1904.

DAY 5 FROM SÓLLER TO PORT D'ANDRATX (27 NAUTICAL MILES)

The popular Cala de Llamp is located on this stage. The luxurious Gran Folies Beach Club offers sun loungers for hire as well as delicious drinks and snacks. Before setting course for Palma again, spend a relaxing day in the picturesque fishing port of Port d'Andratx.

The nearby Isla Dragonera, the Dragon Island, is a worthwhile excursion destination near Port d'Andratx. Docking is prohibited here; the nature reserve can only be reached by dinghy or shuttle. On the other hand, you can discover a beautiful landscape and a great variety of species on the island.

DAY 6 FROM PORT D'ANDRATX TO PALMA DE MALLORCA (23 NAUTICAL MILES)

On the last day of your cruise, you will sail along the impressive south-west coast of Mallorca and the luxury ports of Port Adriano and Puerto Portals. The yacht can be refueled in Puerto Portals. Don't miss the opportunity for extensive sunbathing at Cala Portals Vells, the famous "three-finger bay". Three small sandy beaches stretch out into the crystal-clear water.

Pay a visit to the island's capital Palma de Mallorca before you leave. From culture and shopping to first-class restaurants, there is entertainment for every taste.
