12 Best Anchorages in Mallorca for Yacht Charters
Compare Mallorca anchorage ideas from Es Trenc to Sa Calobra, then confirm seabed protections, route feasibility and conditions with the selected yacht's captain.

Explore northern Mallorca's spectacular coastline from the medieval port town of Alcudia. Cruise to Cap de Formentor, swim in turquoise bays, and discover the island's quieter side.
Alcudia sits at the neck of a peninsula in northern Mallorca, with the vast Bay of Alcudia to the east and the dramatic Bay of Pollença to the west. This dual-coast position makes it one of the most versatile charter departure points on the island — in a single day, you can explore sandy beaches, rocky coves, and the legendary Cap de Formentor.
The Bay of Alcudia stretches for kilometres with shallow, crystal-clear water and white sand — perfect for families with children. Head east along the coast to discover hidden coves, the nature reserve of S'Albufera, and the charming fishing village of Colònia de Sant Pere. The water here is noticeably calmer than the southwest coast, making it ideal for swimming and water sports.
The real highlight of an Alcudia charter is Cap de Formentor — the dramatic northern tip of Mallorca where pine-clad cliffs plunge 300 metres into deep blue water. Accessible only by yacht or a winding mountain road, the cape offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the Balearics. Our skippers know the best anchorages along the cape, including the famous Cala Figuera and Cala Murta.
