Cabrera archipelago boat trip

The experience

Why this trip is worth a day

Cabrera is not an ordinary add-on to a Mallorca charter. The maritime-terrestrial national park lies south of the island and protects a rich marine environment, historic harbour and largely undeveloped archipelago. A visit can be exceptional, but the vessel needs the appropriate navigation authorisation and any overnight stay requires separate anchoring permission. Range, fuel, weather and departure port all matter. Choose a listing whose operator explicitly offers Cabrera rather than assuming every Mallorca boat can go.

Suggested stops

Use these as the shape of the day, with enough time at each stop to swim, relax and enjoy being there.

1. 1

   Cabrera harbour area

   Entering Cabrera's natural harbour reveals a protected island landscape with almost no modern development. The calm sweep of the bay and surrounding hills make arrival feel far removed from Mallorca's busy coast.

2. 2

   A permitted snorkelling stop

   A permitted snorkelling stop is the chance to experience the marine park below the surface. Clear water, rocky habitat and abundant sea life make this a trip for people who genuinely love being in the water.

3. 3

   Historic or nature visit if arranged
