Not many people know that you can actually learn to sail in just a couple of days, OK, you won’t be competing with salty sea dogs after just a short time but you will know your Port from your Starboard, you’ll also learn some basic rope work, how to enter and exit a marina, maritime rules and many other things necessary to make you feel safe out on the water. There’s no doubt about it, the island of Mallorca is beautiful. It can take a couple of weeks to really see the best the island has to offer, from picturesque coastal villages to majestic mountain views, Mallorca provides many opportunities to take picture-perfect photographs; however to really see just how beautiful the island is, it should be viewed from the water! Mallorca is the best place in the med for recreational boating.

Sailing is not for everyone, many people prefer the simplicity of a motorboat compared to handling ropes and sails. Of course, until you have experienced motor boating, you’ll never really know if it is for you and that’s why taking part on a learn to motorboat course is a great idea. There’s a couple of sea schools on the island who run these types of courses / experience days, they only last 1 day and are designed to be fun and interesting and are a great introduction to motor cruising for complete beginners. You will learn the basics of handling a boat as part of a crew, learn safety on board and assist at the helm. During the day, there will be plenty of time to relax and just enjoy the experience of motor cruising on the Med.

For some freedom out on the water, you should consider Powerboat & Jet Ski courses. If you’re really looking to have some fun at sea then we highly recommend that you take the Powerboat Level II course at one of the RYA training schools on the island. After just 2 days and on successful completion of the course, you will be awarded the PB2 certificate; which means you are legal to drive a powerboat such as a Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIB) or any kind of sports boat up to 10m in length. This is a really fun course, a little challenging and very popular especially among boat crew who require the certificate in order to ferry yacht passengers inland from their yachts. This is one of the most exciting forms of recreational boating, a real licence to thrill!
