Half the fleet booked: How Mallorca should rein in the boating euphoria for the solar eclipse

Answer

How should Mallorca manage boat traffic during the solar eclipse?

The most practical approach is central coordination by the port authority, with staggered departures and designated observation zones. Temporary exclusion areas, clear radio communication and kept-open rescue corridors would help prevent dangerous congestion. Registration for charter boats would also make it easier to monitor who is at sea and when they are due back.
