Answer

What should boat owners in Mallorca do if they see a waterspout?

Boat owners should secure the vessel as quickly as possible and move toward the nearest safe harbour if they can do so safely. A waterspout can bring sudden wind shifts and rough water, which is especially risky for small boats and moorings. If there is any doubt, staying away from open water is the safer choice.
