Mallorca: Private Boat Trip to Alcudia, Pollensa & Formentor

Imagine sailing along Mallorca’s stunning northern coast, the sun warming your face, and the breeze gently ruffling your hair. For around four hours, you and up to three friends or family members can enjoy a tailor-made cruise that takes you through some of the island’s most beautiful spots—Alcudia, Pollensa, and Formentor. For $231 per person, this private boat experience offers a blend of relaxing scenery, opportunities to swim and snorkel, and a taste of local Mallorca products, all led by a knowledgeable captain who’s eager to show off his favorite hidden gems.

What we particularly love about this tour is the exclusivity—your boat is just for your group, which means no crowded shared trips. You’ll also appreciate the flexibility to customize your route, whether you want to lounge on sandy beaches, explore rocky coves, or peek into sea caves. Plus, the onboard snorkeling gear and local tastings add a special touch that elevates this from just another boat ride to a memorable, authentic experience.

One potential consideration is the lack of hotel or pickup transfers—you’ll need to meet at the dock in Alcudia, which might mean arranging your own transportation. This isn’t a big deal if you’re already exploring the area, but it’s worth planning ahead. This tour suits travelers who crave a private, flexible adventure with plenty of chances to swim, snorkel, and sample Mallorca’s local flavors—perfect if you value intimacy over crowds and want to make your own route.

The additional stops are entirely customizable, which is a rare luxury in island tours. As one reviewer noted, “Whether you are with 2-4 people, no one else will join, and they will tailor the trip to your preferences.”

The opportunity to taste Mallorca products in such a setting is appreciated by travelers seeking an authentic experience. It’s not just about sightseeing; it’s about connecting with the local culture in a relaxed, personal way.
