Every trip has one free day too few. These 11 sailing trips in Palma justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
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”
Spend four hours sailing Palma Bay with a private skipper, stopping to swim, snorkel, and paddleboard near quiet coves. Eduardo, Gustavo, Sarah, and other captains are praised for friendly service and local insight. Paella, tapas, and alcoholic drinks cost extra.
“Amazing day with Gustavo! He was so kind to our family and made for a perfect day. Highly recommend. 5 stars.”
You’ll sail Palma Bay on a private Beneteau Oceanis 390 with skipper Jorge and his mother Ildi, stopping to swim and snorkel near Cala Vella, Illetas, Magaluf, or Portals Vells. Tapas, drinks, snorkel gear, a paddleboard, and a relaxed pace are included for groups of up to eight.
“Absolutely loved it! George and his mum were amazing!”
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.”
Spend four hours on a private yacht from Port Calanova with a captain, swimming stops, snorkeling, paddleboards, underwater seascooters, and soft drinks. Recent trips with captain Alex included calm, professional handling and flexible stops along Mallorca’s coast.
“Jättetrevlig båttur med fantastisk kapten, kan verkligen rekommendera”
Sail Palma Bay on the Rafael Verdera, Spain’s oldest working boat, built in 1841. Choose a daytime trip with swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, barbecue, and dessert, or an adults-only sunset cruise with canapés, drinks, and cava.
“Un moment magique Très belle parenthèse sur l’eau, pleine de sérénité Bateau sublime, musique agréable Équipage aux petits soins Option coucher du soleil avec apéritif crudités / charcuterie et croquettes de poulet Les boissons sont cependant limitées Je recommande grandement”
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.”
Sail Palma’s coast aboard Bora Sailing’s 43-foot monohull with skipper Gabriel or the warm Maria and Gabi. You’ll stop near Ses Illetes and Cala Comtesa for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding, then enjoy tapas, wine, beer, soft drinks, and possible sunset views of the Cathedral.
“Gabriel was brilliant. We got very lucky and ended up as the only passengers after our slot had to be rearranged due to the weather. We were looked after so well, the food was as lovely and we got a dip in the (freezing!) water in the bay. Gabriel even let us all drive the boat for a bit! Would recommend going for the private hire of the whole boat if possible - we felt 9 people would be a squeeze for seating and changing after swimming when you’re all strangers (max 4-6 would be fine in that situation). We were a group of three and had loads of room.”
Sail privately from Club de Mar in Palma with a professional local skipper, stopping in a Bay of Palma cove for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Your group of up to five gets drinks, cava, equipment, fuel, and sunset views, while paella or tapas can be ordered separately.
“Very good experience, enthusiastic service attitude and good quality”
Pick a cala, a mountain road or a table in Santa Catalina.
