Total Solar Eclipse at Sea with Azul Salvaje
On 12 August 2026, Mallorca sits under one of the most anticipated astronomical events in generations — a total solar eclipse. Azul Salvaje (@azulsalvajemallorca), a Mallorca sea-excursion operator, is running a trip to watch it from the water: an exclusive experience where, in the organizer's words, "the sea, nature and the solar eclipse come together" — one of those "moments that only happen once." Heading out onto the Mediterranean off the island's south coast trades the crowded shoreline for an open sea horizon. The coastal strip from Colònia de Sant Jordi toward Cap de ses Salines is, according to astronomers, one of the best places on the island to see this eclipse — it lies right on the central line of totality. The eclipse: totality peaks at around 20:32, when the moon fully covers the sun for roughly a minute and a half, very low over the western horizon. That low sun is exactly why the sea matters — with totality only about two degrees above the water, an unobstructed western horizon makes the difference between catching it and missing it behind the coast. How to book: Azul Salvaje announces and takes reservations for this trip through their Instagram — message the account to hold a place.
