Is it worth it?

It can be worthwhile if you want an organized five-hour experience that combines sailing, a long swim stop, water activities and food. The main trade-off is price, especially if the meal is a major part of your decision; Premium and VIP are easier to justify if you genuinely value reserved space, priority and a quieter setting.

💡 TourBookGo tip

The key choice is between Premium and VIP: both are 18+ and offer priority, but VIP additionally includes its own deck and waterslide, a sunbed, complimentary soft drinks, a towel and confirmed snorkeling gear. Solo guests should remember that VIP sunbeds come as a pair and the adjacent bed may be occupied by another customer.

Before you book

General, Premium or VIP: the main difference is space and service

General includes main-deck access, the standard menu, one drink, the main waterslide, floating platform and SUP. Premium Terrace is 18+ only and adds an exclusive area, priority boarding, a reserved seat, a Premium menu with priority food service and on-demand drinks service.

Sky VIP Lounge, also 18+, adds a VIP deck, reserved sunbed, VIP waterslide, priority VIP catering, complimentary soft drinks, towel, and snorkeling mask and tube. VIP sunbeds are pairs of individual beds placed side by side, so solo guests may have another customer on the adjacent bed.

Who this Mallorca catamaran trip is best for

It is especially well suited to travelers who want to spend half a day sailing from Palma while combining a boat trip, swimming, water activities and food without creating a separate itinerary.

Premium and VIP make more sense for adults who value reserved space and service priority. The activity is not suitable for wheelchair users, and the route, swim areas and waterslides can change or become unavailable because of weather.

Details worth checking before you book

Hotel pickup, the exact departure time and a recommended arrival time are not specified. The meeting point is on the Carrer del Moll pier: look for the Sa Calma Boats vessel and ticket stand.

Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and comfortable shoes. Smoking and outside food or drinks are not allowed. General information mentions snorkeling equipment with a EUR 10 deposit, but only VIP explicitly confirms a mask and snorkel, so availability for General and Premium remains unclear.

What travelers say

The appeal is simple: sailing, water time and food are combined into five hours without having to organize each part separately.

Reviews frequently praise the crew, swim stop, waterslides and the extra space and quieter service in VIP. Less positive comments focus on price, food that some find fairly standard for the cost and the need for clearer Premium-versus-VIP explanations.

TravelersThe crew receives positive comments for the attention provided throughout the experience.

TravelersThe swimming stop and waterslides are among the most frequently praised parts of the trip.
