Cap de Formentor Boat Trip Overview
What do we do on this boat cruise?
This boat cruise to Cap de Formentor from Puerto de Pollensa is a scenic journey designed to showcase the most dramatic landscapes of northern Mallorca from the sea. The excursion begins in Pollensa Bay, where you will enjoy calm waters and wide panoramic views, with the Serra de Tramuntana mountains rising in the background as the boat heads north.
As the cruise continues, you will pass by Cala Murta, one of the most unspoilt coves in the area, surrounded by dense pine forests and steep cliffs. This stretch of the coastline highlights the natural and untouched side of Mallorca, visible only from the water and inaccessible by road.
Weather permitting, the boat crosses around the cape to reach Cala Figuera, another hidden cove known for its crystal-clear waters and wild setting. This part of the route offers excellent opportunities to admire the contrast between turquoise sea, rugged rock formations and vertical cliffs.
One of the main highlights of the excursion is sailing past Cap de Formentor, where the coastline rises dramatically from the sea. From the boat, you will enjoy spectacular views of the towering limestone cliffs and the iconic Formentor Lighthouse, perched high above the water and considered one of the most impressive viewpoints in Mallorca.
Another key highlight is passing close to the Colomer Islet, a striking rock formation that stands out for its shape and colour, making it a favourite spot for photography. The perspective from the sea allows you to fully appreciate the scale and beauty of this natural landmark.
On the return journey, you have the option to disembark at Formentor Beach, one of the most famous beaches on the island. Here, you can enjoy free time to swim in crystal-clear waters, relax on the sand or explore the surrounding area. Thanks to the flexible return schedule, you can choose when to head back to Puerto de Pollensa, making this boat cruise both scenic and adaptable to your holiday plans.

Maria PARKES
We had a lovely time. Beautiful scenery. Good value for money Only suggestion I would make is you should inform clients that despite having an email ticket confirmation, they need to go ticket office before embarking.

As a senior traveler visiting Mallorca, I highly appreciate the excellent organization provided by NoFrills Excursions. The entire 2.5-hour journey through Pollensa Bay was comfortable and offered privileged panoramic views of the rugged landscape and hidden coves like Cala Figuera. The boat staff and guides were incredibly nice, assisting everyone during boarding at the dock and ensuring it was a zero-worry excursion where we could just sit back and take photos of the beautiful scenery. It completely eliminates the stress of navigating crowded viewpoints by car, making it a perfect, relaxing service for older visitors or families.

The driver and our guide on the boat were very nice, helping us with everything and ensuring a zero-worry excursion since they take care of practically all the boarding and navigation details.

Tracey
The boat trip was great, but I specifically asked the lady if the boat stops anywhere and she said NOT. BUT it does stop on the way out, in a beautiful cove with deep clear water and 75% of the other people on the boat suddenly had swimsuits on and were able to swim for 30 mins. If we had known, we would have joined in and the trip would have had 5 stars.
