Mallorca · CATAMARAN CRUISES IN PALMA
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 9 catamaran cruises in Palma worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Join Magic Catamarans at Palma’s harbor for a five-hour cruise toward Portals Vells or Cala Vella. You’ll swim and snorkel from the boat, eat grilled meats and salads, enjoy drinks and music, and return with views of Palma Cathedral. The route changes with wind and sea conditions.
“the staff was very nice, food was good, and the water was amazing!!! we loved it!!!”
Sail from Playa del Arenal across Palma Bay toward Cap Enderrocat and Cala Vella. You’ll have time to swim, sunbathe, and snorkel from the catamaran, with equipment provided. Choose the BBQ option for pasta salad, local bread, and one water, beer, or sangria.
“It was a very fun boat day! The staff were very kind and helpful, the food was good, drinks were great. We stopped twice both spots has beautiful scenery for swimming and pictures.”
Sail across Palma Bay for 1.5 hours as the sun drops behind the Mallorcan hills. You’ll see Palma Cathedral from the water, enjoy one sangria, cava, or soft drink, and nibble on olives, chips, and nuts while music plays onboard.
“Great activity and value for money. Plenty of refreshments on board. Only issue was the toilets on board as we had a couple of people with mobility issues with us.”
Sail from Palma on the elegant Oasis catamaran, limited to 36 passengers despite space for 57. Swim at Cala Vella, use the paddle boards, enjoy a daytime BBQ or sunset tapas, and return with views of Palma Cathedral. Bring a towel and your own snorkeling gear.
“was so good, relax, good food and swim on clear water”
Sail Palma Bay for about five hours aboard a shared catamaran, passing the cathedral, coves, and Cala Vella. You get two swim and snorkel stops plus a buffet lunch. Drinks cost extra, and the boat can carry up to 70 people, so expect a lively group setting.
“The catamaran was nice; definitely in better shape than some of the other in the harbor. They could have provided some floats (noodles or float belts) to assist with the couple hours of snorkeling you do. I found it strange you had to buy snorkel gear-for the service they provide, the cost adds up once you start paying for the gear and the drinks.”
Sail from S’Arenal toward a nature reserve on a large catamaran, stopping for Mediterranean swimming and snorkeling before a BBQ lunch. You get hammocks, sunbathing space, music, drinks, and easy-access ladders, but the boat can hold up to 146 people.
“Excellent trip. Staff are very accommodating for Kids as well . Fantastic crew . Good food and nice drinks”
Sail for about 5.5 hours from Palma on a new 2023 catamaran limited to 55 people. Enjoy an aperitif at La Cueva Verda, a fresh BBQ at Cala Vella, paddleboarding, swimming, and drinks from the onboard bar.
“We have done a catamaran cruise on nearly all of our trips to island destinations. This was by far the best we’ve ever experienced anywhere in the world. The boat is fabulous, crew is amazing and the entire experience was a blast.”
Set out from Palma on Oasis Catamaran for about four and a half hours of relaxed sailing toward Cala Vella. You’ll share the boat with no more than 36 people, eat a BBQ prepared onboard, swim in clear water, and use the included paddleboards before returning across the Bay of Palma.
“Equipage très sympathique avec un déjeuner sur le catamaran excellent !! Découvertes d une eau cristalline et paysage somptueux . Un grand merci une belle experience en petit groupe. Je recommande.”
Join Oasis Catamaran for a four-hour adult-only sunset cruise from Palma. Sip welcome cava, sail to Cala Vella for swimming and paddle surf, enjoy tapas and canapés, then return past Palma Cathedral as the sky darkens.
“We enjoyed the trip and saw a wonderful sunset. The snacks provided were very good and the crew really polite and friendly. I did think too long is spent at the swimming spot and I’d have rather have gone out a little further in that time.”
Pick a cala, a mountain road or a table in Santa Catalina.
