The adventure begins
with a welcome glass of Cava sparkling wine served whilst introductions
are made and a safety and orientation briefing is given.
We sail for about an hour, either out to sea or along the coast, depending
on wind direction. You are welcome to help with the handling of the boat,
steering, hauling sails, as much or as little as you wish.
Sailing
on to another cala, perhaps north to Porto Colom or south to stunning
Cala Llombards, we drop anchor to serve you a delicious meal, accompanied
by Mallorca wines.
After a final swim or a relaxing 'siesta' if you prefer, before sailing
back to Cala d'Or harbour, we normally sail to another bay or sail out at
sea, depending on the time available and our guests' preferences.
This is usually a 7 hours sailing tour, starting at 10.00, but can arrange
other starting times.
Sailing
out of the Marina Cala d'Or known as Cala Llonga, we get our first view of
the sea sparkling in the sun light as we pass the sandy beach of Cala d' Or
on the left and many millionaires villas on the right. We hoist the
sails and have our first view of Cala Gran where, the sea-bed has been declared
a protected site.
Out to sea, we set
the sails for the wind and head for Cala Ferrera and Cala Esmeralda.
After a short stop for swimming we sail to Porto Colom for lunch with views
of the many boats on moorings and the marina. Returning to Cala d'Or
we stop at Cala Sa Nau to admire the Bronze age buildings dating from
3000 BC that surround this scenic bay. 500 meters along the coast is
the secluded bay of Cala Mitjana, famous locally for the imposing mansion
overlooking the sea, reputedly built by the founder of Repsol Oil Company.
Leaving
Cala Llonga with a favorable wind we pass Es Forti, a 500 year old fort built
to protect the Cala from Pirates. The first bay we pass is Cala Egos,
with its sheer 20m cliffs, its a favorite stopping point for people to experience
cliff-diving.
Approximately 10km
south is Cala Figuera, the beautiful antiquated fishing port, where the locals
unload their fishing catch every afternoon. After a short break we sail
on to the bay of Cala Santanyi and see the unusual rock formations caused
by millions of years of erosion.
