Mallorca's turquoise coves and glass-clear water are the reason many people come, and the easiest way to reach them is by sea. This small-group sailing catamaran (max 12) departs La Lonja marina, a short walk from the cruise area — welcome drink, Mallorcan tapas, snorkel gear and SUP boards included — with swim stops in coves like Portals Vells that you can't reach on foot. A relaxed, scenic counterpoint to the city sights.
What to expect
After a short walk from the cruise pier to La Lonja marina, you'll board an intimate catamaran with no more than 12 guests. The four-hour sail drifts you through Mallorca's turquoise coves with a welcome drink in hand and Mallorcan tapas to graze on—the boat becomes a floating social space as much as a vessel. The rhythm centers on swim and snorkel stops at secluded spots like Portals Vells, unreachable by foot, where you'll slip into glass-clear water with included snorkel gear or paddle out on a SUP board. It's a leisurely, scenic counterpoint to city exploration—more floating than rushing.
The ship's 'Catamaran Coastal Cruise & Swim' is $90-130 pp on a large packed boat. This direct small-group sail (max 12) lands at roughly $70-120 pp — similar-to-cheaper price but far fewer people and food/SUP included. Direct wins on both price and quality; confirm the exact rate and your back-aboard timing when you book direct.
Good to know
Book directly with SailPalma by Omare Yachting to confirm the exact rate (~$70–120 pp) and your back-aboard time before committing. The marina is a short walk from the cruise area, but allow buffer time to locate La Lonja and be on the boat 15 minutes early. A four-hour sail fits comfortably into a typical 6–8 hour port window; confirm your ship's all-aboard time and plan for at least 30–45 minutes to return to the pier. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light layer for the wind at sea, and a water shoe or sandal—snorkel gear and SUP boards are supplied.
