Cap de Formentor Boat Cruise from Puerto de Pollensa

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.
