Palma Bay: Sailing Boat Trip with Water Toys, Snacks & Drinks offers an inviting way to explore Mallorca’s turquoise waters and scenic coves. For around $1,006 per group (up to 11 people), you’ll spend anywhere from 4 to 8 hours aboard a well-equipped yacht, guided by a professional captain. Whether you’re after a quick escape or a full-day adventure, this trip shines for its intimate scale, flexible itinerary, and those extra touches like water toys and delicious snacks.
Two things we particularly appreciate are the customizable routes—you can follow the captain’s recommendations or suggest your favorite spots—and the variety of water activities available, from underwater scooters to paddle surf. These features genuinely elevate the day from a simple boat ride to a full-on aquatic playground.
One thing to keep in mind is that meals and drinks beyond what’s provided are your responsibility—feel free to bring your own beverages and music to personalize your experience. Also, the meeting point is at the entrance of the Lonja Marina Charter, so planning your transport to Palma’s city center is worth considering.
This trip suits travelers craving a mix of relaxation, adventure, and beautiful scenery, especially those who enjoy being active in the water or sharing a private vessel with friends or family. It’s an excellent choice for those looking for authentic, personalized Mallorca experiences away from crowded tours.

A Detailed Look at the Experience
Enjoy being on the water? Here are other boat experiences we've looked into in Mallorca
Embarking from Palma’s Marina Naviera Balear
Your day begins at the Lonja Marina Charter, a central spot that’s easy to reach and provides a scenic backdrop for your vessel, the KAIMANI. You’ll meet your crew, including your captain (whose skill and friendliness shine through in reviews), and get settled on the boat. The vessel itself is well-equipped and comfortable, ready to host your adventure.
The Customizable Route and Key Stops
One of the most appealing parts of this tour is how it adapts to weather conditions and your group’s interests. While the captain typically suggests anchor points like Cala Blava, Cueva Verde, Cap Rocat, Illetas, Portal Nous, or Punta Negra, you’re invited to propose stops. This flexibility is a big plus, especially if you have a particular cove or activity in mind.
In shorter trips (around 4 hours), you’ll likely spend most of your time at a single cove, giving you enough time to swim, snorkel, and enjoy the water toys. Longer trips (6 or 8 hours) open the door to visiting multiple spots, giving you the chance to explore more of Mallorca’s coast, relax on quiet beaches, or even sail farther along the coast.
Anchoring and Water Play
Once anchored, the real fun begins. You’ll have access to a variety of water toys, which are included in the price. Reviewers rave about the see-through kayak, paddle surf, and underwater scooter—perfect for getting up close to marine life or just enjoying the thrill of gliding over the water. The inflatables and snorkels add to the playful atmosphere, making this a day packed with activity.
More Great Tours NearbySnacks, Drinks, and Personalization
A highlight for many guests is the fresh appetizer platter, featuring snacks and fruit, paired with two drinks per person. Unlimited water is always available, and you can bring your own drinks and music aboard, creating a lively or relaxed atmosphere depending on your mood.

The Experience of the Coves
Depending on weather and the captain’s judgment, your boat might anchor at places like Cala Blava or Cap Rocat—each with their own charm. Cala Blava, for instance, offers calm waters ideal for swimming, while Cueva Verde presents a fascinating underwater landscape perfect for snorkelers.
Guests have reported feeling they got excellent value for money, especially given the small group size and the personalized attention. “Our skipper Martí was great,” one reviewer noted, “setting us up for swimming and paddleboarding, and serving delicious tapas.”
The Return Journey
As your trip winds down, you’ll head back to Palma’s marina, with plenty of photos and memories captured. The GoPro provided makes it easy to relive underwater adventures, and the relaxed pace ensures you don’t feel rushed. Many guests find this trip to be a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and fun.
Why This Tour Stands Out
This tour’s small-group format and personalized approach make it ideal for travelers seeking a more authentic, less commercial experience. The ability to customize stops and the inclusion of diverse water toys mean that everyone—from adventure-seekers to families with children—can find something to enjoy.
The quality of the crew, praised in reviews for their friendliness and professionalism, adds to the sense of safety and comfort. Plus, the delicious snacks and the option to bring your own music help create a relaxed, festive atmosphere.
Pricing & Value
At $1,006 for up to 11 people, it might seem pricey at first glance. However, considering the all-inclusive water toys, snacks, drinks, fuel, and a private yacht experience, it offers good value—especially if you’re traveling with a group. Larger groups split the cost, making it affordable per person. Plus, the flexibility in itinerary and personalized service enhances the overall experience.
Who Will Love This Experience?
This trip appeals most to small groups or families looking for a private, flexible day on the water. If you enjoy active water activities, like snorkeling or paddleboarding, you’ll find plenty of options here. It’s also perfect for those who want to escape the crowds and explore Mallorca’s coast at their own pace.
Travelers who appreciate delicious local snacks and the chance to connect with music and underwater photography will find this trip hits all the right notes. If you’re after a scenic, fun-filled day with a touch of luxury and a lot of authenticity, this sailing adventure will suit you well.
