Portocolom boat trip: how long to stay out and what to see on the way

Which boat trip from Portocolom suits you: caves in a morning or a whole day out

Cave explorers with a free morning

Cave explorers should pick a fast motorboat south of the harbour. One heads for the Cala Varques nature area in about 180 minutes, with basic snorkelling and photos. A speedboat visits a sea cave and a string of unspoiled beaches in about 90 minutes.

Couples and friends who prefer the wind

Romantics and small groups who prefer wind and waves to an engine should take the half-day sail from Portocolom. Its route promises to keep away from the crowds, and fuel, cleaning and insurance are covered.

Anyone who wants the whole day at sea

Travellers with a free day and no wish to rush can join the full-day shared sail out of Portocolom. Homemade food and drinks come with it, which spares you from packing lunch. We would choose it if the sailing itself is the point.

Leaving Portocolom by boat: the marina and the time of year that suits it

Meeting at the marina

Boats from Portocolom usually leave its marina, so we would choose by what you want to see rather than by where you board.

When the east coast is at its best

Swimming is the reason to aim for high summer on Mallorca's east coast. Late spring brings cooler water, early autumn is still warm enough for most, and in winter most cove trips stop.
