Hiring a boat in Ses Salines

The Colònia de Sant Jordi is the harbour of southern Mallorca and the gateway to Cabrera: the national park is about 8 miles away and the permitted boats leave from here. Its 9 rental companies, eight of them within 500 m of the harbour, offer llaüts, motorboats and the odd sailing boat; one advertises no-licence boats. Without going that far, Es Trenc beach, with its 3 km of white sand, and the coves of Es Carbó and Es Caragol are under 3 miles from the harbour mouth. Campos and Sa Ràpita, 6 km away, add 7 companies.

The season runs from April to October and many companies close in winter. The south coast is sand and shallow water, with a calm sea most of the summer; anchoring at Es Trenc is regulated because of the posidonia. There are scheduled boats to Cabrera for those who would rather not charter.
