About Us

North Mallorca Charters was founded in 2011 and is based in the marina of the lovely town of Port de Pollensa. Our objective was to provide the island's visitors with an affordable way to add an extra dimension to their holiday. So many visitors do not experience the hidden beauty of the island which can only be appreciated from the sea. Join us and experience it the way we do, sailing its coastline and swimming in its waters.

If you would like to see more photos of our boats and see what we are offering right now, you can visit our gallery page or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

When we first opened in 2011, a local TV station did a feature on our services. A clip from the TV programme is now available on YouTube.

Message from the Owner

"Hello, my name is Sebastian Gonzalez Iannelli, I am the owner of North Mallorca Charters. I started going to sea when I was just a child, joining my father, who was the captain of a fishing boat. In 1994 I finished my academic studies and joined the Argentinian Merchant Marines as a 3rd officer. Since then I´ve navigated around much of the world, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Cuba, and to Europe and Africa - England, Spain, Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Greece and Morocco. At twenty seven years old I became a Master Merchant Marine Captain.

I have been living in Mallorca since 2000 and navigating the Mediterranean Sea. I am a certified PADI diving instructor and worked in Port de Pollensa as a dive boat captain until I met Esmeralda and opened North Mallorca Charters. This has been my dream, now let me help make yours come true!
