Ferries in Mallorca
The ferry service in Mallorca is one of the most popular modes of transport for reaching the island's smaller beaches and coves. If you don't have a rental car, it’s an excellent option for exploring some of the island’s most beautiful spots.
Getting around Mallorca by ferry is very easy thanks to the geography of the island. From the port of Palma, you can easily reach certain areas by ferry that you otherwise couldn't reach by car.
What's more, some ferries sailing around the island will also transport cars, so if you have a rental car, you can take it with you.
Major Ports of Mallorca
The ports of Palma and Alcúdia are the largest and most significant on the island, handling the majority of Mallorca's maritime traffic.
Ferries provide a convenient way to travel between the Balearic Islands, with frequent connections linking the main ports. From Palma, you can sail to nearby islands like Menorca and Ibiza, and during the summer months, there’s also a ferry service to Formentera.
The Port of Alcudia offers excellent connections as well, providing easy access to Menorca's main cities, such as Mahón and Ciutadella.
Other Transport Options by Sea
Another of the options that Mallorca offers, as well as the rest of the Balearic Islands, is to rent a small boat to move through any port, beach or cove of the island without having to depend on schedules.
When renting a boat in Mallorca, it is necessary to take into account several factors, such as the size of the boat, hiring a skipper and the mooring points to be used during the trip.
