Life on the ocean waves

SUSTAINABLE mobility has also reached the sea of Mallorca, as visitors and residents alike can now enjoy a coastal tour of the island onboard an electric boat. Local nautical company Mallorcaventura, established on the island eight years ago, has just purchased its first vessel with all­electric engines in a bid to help reduce pollution.

The firm began by purchasing and restoring an old boat from 1964 to organise parties and trips along the Mallorca coastline, until Covid restrictions forced the vessel to remain docked for two years, during which time it suffered almost irreparable damage.

Following the easing of restrictions, Mallorcaventura then decided to change their approach and buy the new electric boat, which has space for just 35 people as opposed to the 100­strong capacity of the previous fuel­powered vessel. Their goal is to show customers the delights of Mallorca by sea and raise awareness about the importance of preserving the environment.
