Answer

What should I check before renting a boat in Mallorca without a licence?

Ask whether a safety briefing is included and whether local rules are explained clearly, ideally in a language you understand. It also helps to check where you are allowed to sail, anchor and swim, especially near busy coves. A good rental should not leave you guessing about docking, speed limits or restricted areas.
