Palma de Mallorca: Private Yacht Trip with Drinks
Imagine drifting along the stunning coast of Mallorca, with the wind in your hair, a cold drink in hand, and the Mediterranean stretching out around you. For around $793 per group (up to 10 people), this 4-hour private yacht experience offers a personalized way to enjoy Palma’s azure waters, scenic vistas, and seaside caves. Departing from Port Calanova, you’ll cruise past iconic sights, have opportunities for swimming and exploring caves, and even try your hand at paddleboarding or snorkeling, all with a dedicated skipper.
What we really love about this trip are two things: first, the exclusivity — it’s just your group on the boat, so the experience feels relaxed and tailored. Second, the variety of activities available — from floating on paddleboards to underwater adventures with sea scooters, you can customize your time in the water. A potential consideration, however, is that fuel costs are extra, which could add around 90 to your bill depending on your route, so budget accordingly.
This experience is ideal for travelers looking for an authentic, flexible sea day with friends or family, especially those who appreciate a combination of comfort, adventure, and scenic beauty. If you’re eager to avoid large tour groups and want to set your own pace, this private yacht will suit you well.

Experience Overview: A Relaxing Day on the Water
Starting at Port Olimpic Calanova, you’ll meet your captain roughly 30 minutes before departure. The process is straightforward — walk down the ramp to the red pagoda where your skipper will provide a quick safety briefing and outline your route. This setup immediately puts you at ease, knowing you’re in experienced hands.
Once onboard, the boat’s engine hums to life, and you’re off into the crystal-clear waters of Mallorca. The sensation of waves crashing gently against the hull is invigorating, and the views of the coastline are spectacular. You’re free to sit back, soak up the sun, or take in the scenery from the bow.

The Route and Stops: What to Expect
Your first stop might be Cala Nova, a beautiful spot perfect for a quick swim. The reviews highlight the stunning scenery, emphasizing how beautiful and enjoyable the trip feels. The skipper may take you to caves along the coast, giving you a chance to explore underground chambers or coastline coves.
Next, you’ll cruise along a scenic viewpoint, where you can appreciate Mallorca’s rugged coastline and lush greenery. This part of the journey offers a chance to snap photos and simply marvel at the landscape. As you return to Port Calanova, you’ll have enjoyed roughly four hours of sea life, sunshine, and fresh air.
Water-Based Activities: Fun and Relaxation
Once anchored, the fun continues with options to swim in the crystal clear waters — many guests find these stops the highlight. You might try snorkeling, which allows you to see underwater life just a few meters from the boat, or paddleboarding, which adds a bit of balance challenge but loads of fun.
A notable feature is the underwater seascooter, a device that propels you effortlessly underwater, offering a unique perspective without needing advanced diving skills. The addition of the Sublue Underwater Seascooter in 2025 promises even more underwater excitement.
Onboard Comforts and Extras
While soft drinks are included, you’ll want to bring your own towel and sunscreen to stay comfortable. Many travelers enjoy lounging on deck, soaking up the sun and taking in the coastline, with drinks in hand, feeling the gentle breeze. The private nature of the yacht means you can tailor your experience, whether that’s a quiet sunbathing session or an active water adventure.
