The best coves for jet skiing in Mallorca
Mallorca's coastline is made for jet skiing: sheltered bays, clear coves and easy launch points near the main resorts. Here are the areas worth riding and where to rent.
Palma Bay and the south-west
Around Palma, Magaluf and Santa Ponsa you get wide, sheltered water and plenty of bases - the easiest place to start, especially for a first ride or a guided tour.
Alcudia and the north
Alcudia and Pollenca bay offer long calm stretches and views of the Tramuntana mountains, great for longer guided routes.
Coves to look for
- Cala Vinyes and the south-west calas: turquoise and close to Magaluf.
- Es Trenc area: long open beaches in the south.
- Cala d'Or: a scenic cove-lined stretch on the east coast.
License, tours and tips
Guided tours run with no license and an instructor; free rental needs a license and a deposit. Riding is not allowed inside swimmer-marked beach zones - launch from the marked channels or the marina. Confirm fuel, insurance and the minimum age when you book.
