🌊 Palma de Mallorca – Mediterranean capital and ideal starting point

Palma , the capital of Mallorca, is much more than a cosmopolitan city: it's the heart of the island and home to one of the most complete and exclusive ports in the Mediterranean.
Its seafront promenade, its imposing Gothic cathedral overlooking the water, and its vibrant cultural scene make it the perfect place to begin a day at sea.

The Port of Palma boasts modern facilities, luxury moorings, and a wide range of services for sailors. From here, you can enjoy unforgettable routes to idyllic coves, combining the beauty of the Mallorcan coast with the city's exclusive atmosphere.
