Hiring a boat in Artà
Artà is the Llevant town of Mallorca with the Sant Salvador sanctuary and the caves, and a 25 km coast that is almost untouched, from the Colònia de Sant Pere on the bay of Alcúdia to Cala Torta and Cala Mesquida in the Llevant peninsula nature park; its rental offer is one bay-of-Alcúdia company based at Son Serra de Marina, on the border with Santa Margalida, with nearly 50 reviews and day motorboats. From the Colònia de Sant Pere you sail the bay towards the Caló and Betlem, or across to Alcúdia (38 companies); the northern coves of Artà, Cala Torta and Estreta, are reached from Cala Rajada (Capdepera, 8 companies, 16 km).
The season runs from April to October, and many companies close in winter. The bay of Alcúdia is sheltered from the south and west; a north-easterly gets it up, and the north coast of Artà is open sea.
