Skippered week · Mallorca
From the marina under Palma's cathedral to the national park of Cabrera and back, on a Lagoon 46 catamaran with a skipper who knows every anchorage on the way.
Press play and follow the boat from Palma to Port d'Andratx, past Sa Dragonera, south to Cabrera and back up the bay. Pause at any stop, or pull the camera back to see the whole route.
Short passages, long afternoons. Most days you are at anchor by lunch.
Board at the marina under the cathedral. The old town is a short walk along the waterfront.
A long, sheltered inlet on the west coast. Good holding and a lively quay in the evening.
Anchor off the village, facing the island of Sa Dragonera. Calm water in settled weather.
A wide bay with sandy bottom. Swim stop and a quiet night before the crossing south.
National park archipelago. Mooring buoys in the harbour are booked in advance.
Small fishing harbour close to Es Trenc, one of the island's long white beaches.
Sail up the bay of Palma and return the boat by evening.
A catamaran sits flat at anchor and under way, so breakfast stays on the table. Four double cabins, each with its own bathroom, and a wide trampoline at the bow for the hottest hour of the day.
