Day Charter- All Inclusive

Mallorca’s best maritime escape: a private half-day sailboat adventure

If you’re dreaming of crystal-clear waters, scenic coves, and a taste of the high seas, this private 4-hour sailing trip from Palma de Mallorca offers an ideal escape. Starting from the bustling Marina La Lonja, you’ll hop aboard a well-equipped sailboat perfect for a small group—up to 11 people—and set out for an adventure filled with water toys, tasty snacks, and pristine scenery. The price of just under $1,000 per group makes it a great value considering all the inclusions, from a professional skipper to snorkeling gear and paddleboards.

What stands out most are the personalized nature of this experience and its focus on comfort and fun. We loved how the crew makes it clear that this isn’t just about sailing but about creating a relaxed, engaging atmosphere. The water toys—underwater scooter, paddle surf, kayak—are highlight features for anyone who enjoys playful, active time in the water. The opportunity to explore Mallorca’s famed coves at your own pace, coupled with snacks and drinks served onboard, makes it a well-rounded day designed for enjoyment and ease.

One potential consideration is the schedule flexibility—while four hours might seem short, it’s enough for a taste of the sea, although extensions are available at extra cost.

An in-depth look at your Mallorca sailing adventure

Starting point and logistics

Your journey begins at Naviera Balear S.L. in Palma, a convenient spot easily accessible from most parts of the city. The meeting point’s proximity to public transportation makes it straightforward to reach, especially if you’re already exploring Palma. You’ll meet your friendly skipper, who’s there to ensure your safety and to share some local insights during the trip.

This is a private experience, so only your group sails together—no mingling with strangers—making it perfect for a more intimate celebration or family outing. The mobile ticket system allows for smooth check-in, and the company provides all necessary fees and taxes upfront, so you won’t be surprised by extra costs.

What to expect during the sailing

Once aboard, your skippers will set sail, typically taking about 30 to 45 minutes to reach the most beautiful coves. This short cruising time means you’ll be quickly immersed in the calm, scenic waters of Mallorca, with excellent opportunities for photos and simply enjoying the breeze.

The highlight is definitely the water activities. You’ll have access to snorkel masks, paddleboards, and a crystal-clear kayak, offering a chance to explore the seabed or paddle along the coast. The underwater scooter is a special treat—designed for those wanting a bit more adventure beneath the waves. These toys turn a relaxing boat trip into a playful exploration.

The coves and swimming stops

Once in the coves, the boat anchors and your group can indulge in about two hours of relaxation and water fun. The water’s clarity and calmness make it perfect for snorkeling, and the seabed exploration adds an element of discovery. Several reviews highlight how stunning the water is; Carol describes the snorkeling and SUP as “awesome in beautiful water,” which perfectly captures the experience.

While in the coves, enjoy a delicious appetizer and two drinks of your choice. The drinks selection often includes local wine or beer, adding a regional touch to your leisure time. The snacks are described as tasty, contributing to a laid-back, picnic-style atmosphere in the quiet beauty of Mallorca’s coastline.

Sailing back and additional touches

After your swim and water play, the return journey offers a chance to admire the coastline from a different angle. You’ll sail back to Palma, enjoying the ocean breeze and perhaps a final toast with your drinks. The crew’s professionalism ensures a smooth, enjoyable journey with final cleaning included, so you leave the boat as pristine as when you arrived.

Value considerations

For $989.08 per group, this experience covers nearly everything—fuel, skipper, water toys, snacks, and drinks. This all-in approach ensures you won’t be nickeled-and-dimed mid-trip, which can be common with other tours. Compared to larger, group-oriented tours, this private charter offers more flexibility and intimacy.

Authenticity and reviews

Authentic Mallorca is about the scenic beauty and local flavors, both of which this tour captures well. One reviewer mentions the “nice character and beer/wine greeted us when we emerged from the water,” highlighting the welcoming and relaxed vibe. The personalized service and focus on fun make it stand out from more commercialized options.

Possible drawbacks

While the trip is highly praised, travelers should keep in mind that the schedule is weather-dependent. Poor weather can lead to cancellations or rescheduling, with a full refund if canceled due to bad conditions. Also, the modest duration means you might want to extend your day if you’re craving more time on the water.

Who should consider this tour?

It suits families with children, couples celebrating special occasions, or friends looking for a memorable outing.
