Premium 5.5-hour cruise from Palma

Mallorca from the sea, without the crowded boat feeling

Catamaran from Palma with coves and barbecue

Some boat trips sound great on paper, but then feel too crowded, too rushed or too touristy. I like this one because it goes in exactly the opposite direction: you depart from the Port of Palma, sail towards Cueva Verde and Cala Vella, have time to swim, use a paddleboard, enjoy a barbecue on board and, above all, enjoy the sea without feeling squeezed into a packed boat.

⚡ Limited capacity: boat for 87 people, but a maximum of 55 passengers for extra comfort. · The price may vary depending on date, time and availability. Check it before booking.

✔ Planned route to Cueva Verde and Cala Vella, two perfect areas to see Mallorca from the water.
✔ Stops to swim, relax, snorkel if you bring your own gear and try paddleboarding.
✔ Snacks, barbecue, dessert and water included during the experience.

More space on boardThe detail that convinces me most is simple: the catamaran has capacity for 87 people, but the activity limits the group to a maximum of 55. On a sea excursion, that makes a big difference: you can move around more easily, relax more and avoid feeling like everything is about finding a free spot.
A complete plan without organizing anythingYou do not need to rent a car, search for a cove, carry food or improvise. You depart from Palma, sail, swim, eat on board and return with the feeling that you have truly made the most of half a day.
Swimming, paddleboarding and the Mallorcan coastThe experience is not just about looking at the sea from the deck. The charm is in stopping, jumping into the water, trying a paddleboard or simply floating in those clear waters that make Mallorca easier to understand from the sea.
Flexible bookingYou can book now and pay later, and you also have free cancellation up to 24 hours before. For a trip to Mallorca, where plans can change because of weather or schedules, this flexibility is a real advantage.

📖 Why this catamaran feels like one of the best ways to see Palma from the sea

What I like most about this excursion is that it does not try to sell you just a boat ride. It is a very well-rounded half-day experience: sailing from Palma, coves, swimming, paddleboarding, lunch on board and a return trip with views of the coast. It has that easy-plan feeling that works especially well when you want to do something special without overcomplicating it.

The planned route passes by Cueva Verde and Cala Vella, a natural area with clear waters where the sea is usually the real highlight. And although the route may vary depending on weather or sea conditions, the idea of the experience is clear: leave the city, switch off and enjoy Mallorca from its best angle, the water.

Ideal if you are in Palma and want a special activity without losing the whole day.

Perfect for couples, friends or travelers who want the sea with comfort.

A better option if you want coves without renting a car or fighting for parking.

You will not just see Mallorca: you will swim in it.

What makes this experience special

On many boat trips, the big question is always the same: will there be too many people? Here, the answer is handled quite well. The catamaran could carry 87 passengers, but the provider limits each departure to 55. That does not mean you will be alone, but it does mean the experience is designed to feel more comfortable and breathable.

I also think it is important that they do not sell it as an uncontrolled party. In fact, stag or hen parties, party groups, speakers, outside alcohol and intoxicated guests are not allowed. That helps keep the atmosphere more cared for, more relaxed and more enjoyable for anyone looking for sea, music, swimming and great views without chaos.

🗣️ The feeling

Verified travelers

The experience has an overall rating of 4.7/5 based on more than 1,300 verified reviews, with comments highlighting the crew, the atmosphere and the comfort on board.

What comes up most often

Many travelers appreciate that the boat does not feel overcrowded, that there is enough space to move around and that the swim stops are among the most enjoyable moments of the route.

Clear expectations

It is worth knowing that water is included, but other drinks from the bar are paid separately. For snorkeling, the safest option is to bring your own mask or confirm availability before boarding.

What the cruise really includes

The experience includes the catamaran cruise from Palma, swimming stops, use of paddleboards, snacks, barbecue-style lunch, dessert and water during the trip. There is also an instructor in Spanish and English and an onboard bar where you can buy drinks if you want something beyond water.

I would not frame it as a luxury dining experience, but as something much more honest and useful: an onboard meal that completes the plan and lets you keep enjoying the sea without having to organize anything yourself.

Who I recommend this excursion for

I would especially recommend it if you want to do something more memorable than spending another day at the beach, but without signing up for an exhausting excursion. It has the right balance between activity and rest: you can swim, move around, try paddleboarding or stay on deck looking at the coast.

It is not the right option if you are looking for an open bar, a party boat or a route guaranteed down to the last detail. The sea decides, and that is why the route may be adapted. But if you are looking for a comfortable, beautiful and well-organized departure from Palma, this experience fits very well.

Couples who want a special, relaxed plan with beautiful views. Friends looking for sea and a good atmosphere without an uncontrolled party. Travelers staying in Palma who want an easy half-day excursion. People who prefer reaching coves by sea without a car, parking or stress.

My recommendation

If you want to do just one sea plan in Palma, I would look at this one first

Because it brings together what people look for most in Mallorca: coves, clear water, a comfortable boat, food included and an easy departure from Palma. But above all because it takes care of a detail that makes the difference: not filling the catamaran to its maximum capacity.

Check the date you are interested in, confirm the updated price and book as soon as possible if you see availability. With limited capacity, the best departures can fill up, especially in high season.
