Hiring a boat in Manacor
Porto Cristo is a natural harbour tucked into a narrow inlet, Roman in origin according to the harbour's listing, and the rental base of the Llevant coast between Cala Millor and Portocolom: 9 companies, seven of them within 500 m of the port, with day motorboats and the odd sailing boat. From the harbour mouth you head south to Cala Varques and Cala Magraner, coves with no easy access by land under 3 miles away, or north to Cala Anguila and s'Illot; the Drach caves are right at the harbour mouth. Portocolom, 15 km away, adds 12 companies and Cala d'Or 35.
The season runs from April to October and many companies close in winter. The Llevant coast faces east: it gets up with a levante and with a westerly or a calm it is one of the quietest on the island. There are scheduled boat trips along the coves for those who would rather not charter.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to hire a boat in Porto Cristo?
Not for a motorboat up to 5 metres and 15 hp, in daylight and near the coast; ask which companies have them. The sailing boat and bigger motorboats need an ICC or Spanish licence, or a skipper.
How much does a boat cost in Porto Cristo?
A no-licence motorboat, €120–250 a day; a RIB with licence, €250–650; a sailing boat, €400–1,500 depending on whether it is skippered. Indicative high-season ranges; fuel and deposit are extra.
Which coves can I reach from Porto Cristo?
Cala Varques and Cala Magraner to the south, under 3 miles and hard to reach by land; Cala Anguila, Cala Mendia and s'Illot to the north. Anchor in sand; the coves are small and fill by noon in August.
Where do boats leave from?
From the port of Porto Cristo, in the narrow inlet below the town, with 7 companies within 500 m.
Are there boat trips in Porto Cristo?
Yes, scheduled trips along the coves to Cala Varques and Cala Millor from the harbour. They are listed under the boat trips category.
Can I see the Drach caves from the boat?
Only the cliff and the entrance area: the caves are visited on foot from the road above the harbour, and the underground lake concert is inside. The boat gives you the coast the caves are cut into.
