Catamaran trips in Mallorca are a complete option for families, couples and groups of friends. They combine sailing, sunbathing areas and swimming stops in clear Mediterranean waters.

The duration, departure point, food and activities included vary depending on the trip. These are three useful options to compare:

Life & Sea Catamaran

Departing from El Arenal, it offers a short two-hour trip, a four-hour daytime excursion and a three-hour sunset option. Selected experiences include barbecue, one drink and snorkelling equipment.

It is convenient for travellers staying in El Arenal, Playa de Palma or nearby areas.

Magic Catamaran – Palma Bay Tour

This excursion sails through the Bay of Palma towards Cala Vella. Depending on the selected option, it may include barbecue, drinks, snorkelling, paddleboarding and kayaking.

It is a good choice for travellers who want to enjoy a complete experience without travelling far from Palma.

Magic Catamaran to Es Trenc

Departing from Colònia de Sant Jordi, this trip sails along Mallorca’s southern coast towards Es Trenc. It includes swimming stops, snorkelling equipment and food prepared on board.

It is especially suitable for travellers staying in the south or southeast of the island.

Boat trips around the Bay of Palma are a convenient option for travellers staying in Palma, Can Pastilla, Playa de Palma or El Arenal.

They allow you to spend a few hours sailing, enjoy the coastline and stop for a swim without travelling far from your accommodation.

Sa Calma

Sa Calma offers several experiences from Can Pastilla, including morning departures, classic boat trips and sunset excursions with barbecue. Selected options include snorkelling equipment, chill-out areas and music on board.

Speedboat Arenal

This is a more active option for travellers looking for speed and adventure. It includes a stop at a cave and another stop for swimming and snorkelling.

The minimum age is 10 years old, and participants must know how to swim.

Cabrera National Park is one of the most special boat excursions in Mallorca. It combines sailing, nature, free time on a protected island and a stop at the Blue Cave.

Cabrera from Colònia de Sant Jordi

This excursion lasts approximately five hours and includes the boat journey, free time to explore Cabrera, a stop at the Blue Cave, snorkelling equipment and a life jacket.

Cabrera from Playa de Palma

This option departs from El Arenal or Can Pastilla and lasts approximately nine hours. It sails along the southern coast, visits Cabrera and includes a stop at the Blue Cave.

The departure from Colònia de Sant Jordi is shorter. The Playa de Palma option is more convenient for travellers staying near Palma, but it takes almost the whole day.

Renting a boat without a licence allows you to sail privately and decide where to stop for a swim. It is a good option for couples, families and small groups looking for more freedom.

No boating licence is required, although it is essential to follow the safety instructions and remain within the authorised sailing area.

Lemon Tours offers licence-free boat rentals from areas such as Puerto Adriano, Santa Ponsa, Palmanova and Can Pastilla. The capacity, duration, deposit, fuel and included equipment vary depending on the boat.

An underwater-viewing boat is a relaxing option for families with children and travellers who want to observe the marine environment without diving.

The Esmeralda Dos semi-submersible catamaran has three levels:

• A sun terrace.

• A main lounge with bar and toilets.

• A lower level with large underwater-viewing windows.

The excursion lasts approximately two hours and includes a short swimming stop. It is suitable for all ages, although underwater visibility depends on sea conditions.

Dolphin-watching trips in Mallorca are a special experience for families, couples and nature lovers. They allow you to sail out to sea and observe dolphins in their natural habitat.

Lemon Tours offers different options depending on the departure area and whether transport is required.

Sailing boat excursions are a good alternative for travellers looking for a quieter, more intimate and relaxing experience.

They are usually organised in smaller groups and combine sailing, swimming stops and time to enjoy the surroundings.

Lemon Tours offers sailing trips from areas such as Can Pastilla and Santa Ponsa, as well as private experiences around the Bay of Palma.

Lemon Tours offers different excursions departing from areas such as Paguera, Santa Ponsa and Port d’Andratx.

Depending on the selected option, the experience may include:

The duration and included services vary according to the boat trip, so it is important to check the departure point and itinerary before booking.

From Mallorca, it is also possible to book ferry tickets to visit other Balearic Islands.
