Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, Mallorca stands as the crown jewel of the Balearic Islands, offering an unrivaled blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and world-class sailing conditions. Its long, scenic coastline is lined with hidden coves and secluded bays, making it a paradise for adventurers, sailors, and those seeking the true spirit of the Mediterranean.

The island’s north-western shores, rivaled only by the west coast of Corsica, are among the most breathtaking sailing destinations in Europe. From the rugged cliffs of Puerto de Sóller to the enchanting anchorages at Cala Figuera, Cala Deià, Cala de la Calobra, and Cala Foradada, Mallorca invites you to discover your own hidden gem with every voyage.

While the bustling southern coast and Palma Bay often capture the spotlight, it is the northern coastline that reveals Mallorca’s untouched beauty and timeless charm. Sailme Charter, in collaboration with CM Charter, is proud to invite you to our new base in Port de Pollença — the perfect starting point for an unforgettable exploration of Northern Mallorca’s hidden treasures.




Set Sail from Port de Pollença

Perfectly positioned between the majestic Tramuntana mountains and the azure Mediterranean Sea, Port de Pollença offers an ideal departure point for sailors seeking both adventure and authenticity. Our charter base, located on Mallorca’s northeast coast, opens the gateway to the island’s most stunning coastal treasures and provides effortless access to the nearby island of Menorca.

Far from the busier hubs of Palma de Mallorca, Port de Pollença is surrounded by a concentration of the island’s most beautiful beaches and secluded fjord-like bays, many of which are inaccessible from the south. The water here is exceptionally well-protected by the iconic Cape Formentor, offering shelter from northern winds and creating calm, shallow anchorages with crystal-clear waters — perfect for a safe and relaxing start to your voyage.

Whether you dream of exploring hidden coves, discovering unspoiled nature, or setting course for new horizons, Port de Pollença is the perfect starting point for an unforgettable sailing experience.




Easy Transfer to Our Base in Port de Pollença

Reaching our base in Port de Pollença is quick and convenient, with the journey from Palma de Mallorca Airport taking just around 45 minutes. Thanks to Mallorca’s modern network of high-speed roads, Northern Mallorca feels remarkably close, offering a seamless transition from your arrival to the start of your sailing adventure.

Multiple transfer options are available to suit every preference, from reliable municipal buses to private transfers and taxis. Whichever you choose, clear signage and efficient routes ensure that you’ll have a smooth and comfortable trip without the stress of navigating unfamiliar roads.

Transfer to Our Base in Port de Pollença

For perspective, a transfer to Club de Mar-Mallorca (Palma) takes approximately 15 minutes — meaning with just an additional 30 minutes of travel, you’ll find yourself in a completely different and more authentic region of the island.

Our team is always happy to assist in arranging your transfer, ensuring that your journey to Port de Pollença is as effortless and welcoming as your sailing experience with Sailme Charter.




Northern Mallorca: Untouched Nature for Sailing

Northern Mallorca offers a rare and precious gift for sailors — untouched natural beauty combined with authentic charm.

This part of the island has remained remarkably preserved over the centuries. The Serra de Tramuntana mountain range dominates the north-west, creating steep, rocky coastlines and secluded coves that are inaccessible by road. The challenging terrain historically limited development and infrastructure, helping to safeguard the region’s pristine environment.

Several protected natural areas, including the S'Albufera Natural Park and the Formentor Peninsula, reinforce this preservation, with strict regulations on construction and commercial activities ensuring the land remains unspoiled.

Cala San Vicente – secluded beach and ideal anchorage for yachts near Mallorca’s dramatic cliffs

Just an hour’s sail from our base in Port de Pollença lies Cape Formentor, one of the island’s most breathtaking natural landmarks, where dramatic cliffs plunge into the turquoise sea and pine forests blanket the rugged hillsides.

Unlike the bustling southern and eastern coasts of Mallorca, the north has seen restrained tourism development. Here, small towns and villages retain their traditional character, and large hotel complexes are a rarity. The coastline offers a sailing experience that is both serene and awe-inspiring — ideal for those seeking tranquility away from crowded marinas and tourist hotspots.

As you sail along this untouched stretch of Mallorca, you’ll pass dramatic cliffs, lush forests, and hidden beaches only accessible from the water. Steady winds and calm seas create perfect conditions for both seasoned sailors and first-time adventurers.

Because of the island’s geography, sailing transitions from the south to the north take considerable time, which means the northern waters are less frequented by charter boats from Palma de Mallorca. As a result, guests setting sail from our Port de Pollença base enjoy not only the comforts of a modern, well-equipped fleet but also the peace and privacy of some of the most spectacular anchorages in the Balearic Islands.




The Best Bays and Beaches of Mallorca - Only Accessible from Here

Setting sail from Port de Pollença gives you exclusive access to some of Mallorca’s most beautiful and secluded bays — hidden gems that are often difficult or impossible to reach by land. Exploring these locations by yacht not only offers breathtaking views but also allows you to experience the island’s most pristine and peaceful anchorages, far from the crowds.



Cala Coll Baix:

Proximity to Menorca: A Perfect Sailing Adventure

If you are looking to balance your yacht vacation between relaxation and active sailing, Menorca is the ideal destination accessible from the northern coast of Mallorca.

An undiscovered island with rich history and authentic Balearic beauty, Menorca remains a hidden gem for most travelers. A typical crossing from Port de Pollença to Menorca takes about five hours, offering the perfect sailing challenge for those who want to combine leisure with exploration.

Menorca delights visitors with its picturesque bays, fjord-like coastal towns, fascinating cultural heritage, exquisite cuisine, and a slower pace of life that feels worlds apart from the busier resorts.

Our team at Sailme Charter provides prepared and tested itineraries for visiting Menorca, allowing you to discover the best of both islands in one unforgettable trip.

One of our recommended 7-day sailing routes includes:

  • Day 1: Departure from Port de Pollença
  • Day 2: Port de Pollença to Ciutadella, Menorca
  • Day 3: Ciutadella to Cala Galdana
  • Day 4: Cala Galdana to Mahón
  • Day 5: Mahón to Cala Ratjada, Mallorca

  • Day 7: Porto Cristo to Port de Pollença

This route offers a captivating mix of landscapes — from historic cities to secluded coves and pristine sandy beaches — allowing you to experience the diversity and charm of both Mallorca and Menorca in a single journey.




More Space in Marinas, Fewer Boats in the Bays: A Relaxed Sailing Experience

One of the unique advantages of starting your journey from Port de Pollença is the peaceful and uncrowded environment you will find both in marinas and anchorages.

Since most charter tourists depart from the south — particularly from Palma, Can Pastilla, and El Arenal — it is rare for them to reach the north of Mallorca within a standard one-week charter. As a result, Northern Mallorca remains less visited, less crowded, and more serene.

The distance from the main charter hubs means there is more space in marinas, even during the busy summer months. The chances of securing a berth are significantly higher, reducing stress and saving valuable time that you can spend enjoying your sailing adventure.

When anchoring, you'll find secluded and tranquil bays, offering silence, unspoiled landscapes, and an authentic connection with nature.

There is more personal space both at marinas and at anchorages, allowing for a more private, intimate sailing experience — far from the crowded hotspots typical of southern Mallorca.

The calm and less trafficked waters of the north create ideal conditions for swimming, snorkeling, and observing marine life in crystal-clear waters, away from the noise and disturbance of mass tourism.

Northern Mallorca truly offers a more relaxed, authentic, and nature-focused sailing experience.

Choosing Port de Pollença as your departure point opens the door to discovering a different side of Mallorca — one filled with privacy, natural beauty, and a slower, more rewarding pace of life.

This is exactly what makes our base in Port de Pollença so special for sailors who want to experience the island in its most genuine and peaceful form.
