Cruise the northern shore of Mallorca from Port d'Alcúdia to the dramatic cliffs of Cape Formentor, pausing for swims and an hour on Formentor Beach. This relaxed 4½-hour boat trip pairs lighthouse views and hidden coves with practical, weather-aware cruising.
You step aboard in Puerto Alcúdia as the harbor loosens its hold and the Mediterranean opens up—blue water sliding past limestone bluffs, the Aucanada lighthouse shrinking behind you. The boat eases along the Bay of Alcúdia and then the coastline sharpens: jagged cliffs daring you to look closer, small coves flashing turquoise where the sea laps white sand.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step aboard in Puerto Alcúdia as the harbor loosens its hold and the Mediterranean opens up—blue water sliding past limestone bluffs, the Aucanada lighthouse shrinking behind you. The boat eases along the Bay of Alcúdia and then the coastline sharpens: jagged cliffs daring you to look closer, small coves flashing turquoise where the sea laps white sand.
Geology here is raw: millennia of uplifted limestone carved by wind and wave into the steep escarpments around Formentor. The Faro de Formentor, first lit in 1863, punctuates the cape; the rugged road up from Pollença, built by Antonio Parietti in 1925, speaks to a history of isolation that only the sea once solved. Local culture still orbits small fishing traditions and summer tourism—quiet villages give way to viewpoints popular with photographers and day-trippers.
This 4½-hour sightseeing cruise combines panoramic passages with stops for swimming and an hour ashore on Formentor Beach. Expect clear water suited to snorkeling, short swims from the anchored boat, and close-up views of Es Coll Baix and other nearly inaccessible coves. The itinerary is weather-dependent; northern Mallorca can be breezy, and captains alter the route for comfort and safety.
Practical notes: arrive at the kiosk in Puerto Alcúdia well before departure, bring reef-safe sunscreen, a lightweight wind layer, and seasickness remedies if you’re prone. Cameras and binoculars reward early seats on deck. The trip is family-friendly and wheelchair-accessible in its meeting-point facilities, but sea conditions can make boarding variable—plan for a flexible, sea-minded day.
