Answer

Are llaüts still used in Mallorca, and are they suitable for coastal waters?

Yes, llaüts are still part of Mallorca’s maritime landscape and are used by both professionals and recreational skippers. They are sturdy traditional boats built for coastal waters and local conditions, but that does not make them immune to modern risks such as fog or crowded harbor entrances. Their safety depends a lot on the skipper’s experience and the equipment on board.
