Hiring a boat in Santanyí
Cala d'Or is the nautical centre of south-east Mallorca: 35 rental companies, 29 of them within 500 m of the Port Esportiu Marina de Cala d'Or, the largest marina on this coast. Six companies advertise skippered hire, four motor yachts, three no-licence boats and three jet skis; the top-rated one has more than 1,800 Google reviews. From the marina you head south to the coves of Santanyí (Cala Mondragó and s'Amarador in the nature park, Cala Figuera, Cala Llombards), under 5 miles, or north to Portocolom, 6 km away with 12 companies, and the coves of Felanitx.
The season runs from April to October and many companies close in winter. The south-east coast is sheltered from the tramontana and is usually sailable when the north of the island shuts down. 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 Cala d'Or?
Not for a motorboat up to 5 metres and 15 hp, in daylight and near the coast: three companies advertise them. Yachts and bigger boats need an ICC or Spanish licence, or a skipper (six companies); jet skis go with an instructor or a navigation licence.
How much does a boat cost in Cala d'Or?
A no-licence motorboat, €120–250 a day; a RIB with licence, €250–650; a skippered boat from €600; a motor yacht with skipper from €900. Indicative high-season ranges; fuel and deposit are extra.
Which coves can I reach from Cala d'Or?
Mondragó and s'Amarador in the nature park, Cala Figuera and Cala Llombards to the south, Cala Sa Nau and Portocolom to the north, all within 5 miles; anchor in sand, not on the posidonia.
Where do boats leave from?
From the Port Esportiu Marina de Cala d'Or, in the centre of the resort, with 29 companies within 500 m; Portopetro, 3 km south, is a quiet alternative.
Are there boat trips in Cala d'Or?
Yes, scheduled trips along the south-east coves and to Portocolom from the marina. They are listed under the boat trips category.
Why is Cala d'Or the busiest harbour on this coast?
Because the marina sits in the middle of a dozen sandy coves within 5 miles, the resort has thousands of beds a short walk from the pontoons, and the south-east is the side of Mallorca that stays calm when the tramontana blows; the top-rated company here has over 1,800 reviews for a reason.
