Sailing in Mallorca:

Mallorca has 41 marinas, 30 clubs nautics and mooring for 10,000 yachts. Yachts can be chartered locally and most marinas also have facilities for water-skiing and windsurfing. Highlights of the sailing year include the King's Cup in August, the Princess Sofia trophy at Easter, and the Rei en Jaume regatta in July when a flotilla of yachts will recreate the 185-km journey made by Jaume the Conqueror when he landed at Santa Ponsa in 1229.

Pedal Boating.

Pedal boats are available for hire (usually from beach bars) at most of the bigger resorts. This includes all those in the bay of Palma as well as Cala Millor, Cala d'or and Porto Cristo on the east coast.

  Note:

Looking After Children:
Small children are particularly vulnerable to sun and need to be well protected: apply high-factor sun block regularly, especially after swimming. If you need a child seat in your rented car, be sure to book it in advance and then check it carefully on arrival. The same goes for cots and high-chairs in hotels and apartments. Finally, don't forget to check that your balcony railings are secure.
