«When Sa Balandreta comes, we'll have it»

A name from the ship's history that we are reviving today to open it up to new encounters and projects.

The boat as a meeting place

Sa Balandreta was born from those of us who care for and sail the Rafael Verdera, with a desire to bring it closer to more people.

We want to share its story, develop cultural and educational initiatives, and get to know the Mediterranean better so we can protect it.
