Affiliate Disclosure
Some links here lead to booking pages. Book through one and this site may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you.
How Affiliate Commissions Work
Affiliate links are how this site pays its bills. Pick a cruise from the listings on this site, click through, and book: the reservation platform then pays this site a small commission for the referral. Nothing is added to what you pay. Booking directly, through a friend's link or through ours, the figure on the checkout screen stays identical. Those modest commissions keep these Mallorca comparison pages running.
No operator pays for placement here. Not one of the nineteen catamaran tours compared here, from Palma Bay shared sails and private charters to north coast cruises from Port d'Alcudia, has bought a better position. Where a tour sits depends on its published rating, its review count, its price and what the itinerary actually includes. Commission rates vary between operators and platforms. That variance shapes nothing on these pages.
How The Commission Works
Each booking button here leads to an external reservation platform rather than to anything we run ourselves. That platform takes your payment, issues the confirmation and holds your ticket. Card numbers never pass through our hands. Refunds, changes and seats on the boat sit entirely with the platform and the operator running the sail.
Problems are handled where the booking lives. A cancelled departure, rough seas on the day, a refund request: the reservation platform and the local operator work it out, and their contact details sit on the live listing. What we can do is explain what a tour includes, drawing on the published listing pages for everything from BBQ lunch to snorkel gear.
Your Price Stays Put
Commission pressure could nudge a comparison site toward the priciest boats, so we hold ourselves to a simple rule. Every figure shown here, whether the $44.82 swim-and-snorkel cruise out of Palma or a $1,877.98 whole-boat private charter, is taken from the live listing as written. Nothing gets rounded up, sweetened or buried. A cheap tour that performs well stays exactly where it belongs: near the top.
How Tours Are Chosen
Nobody has time to weigh every catamaran sail on this island, so the field gets narrowed before a single sentence is written. What survives is currently nineteen tours across four categories, each one bookable today on a major platform with a price, a rating and genuine traveler feedback attached.
- A cruise earns a spot only when a major platform sells it right now with a live price, a published rating and a stated cancellation policy on the listing.
- Whether a sail covers tapas, an open bar or snorkelling gear comes from the listing itself, never from operator brochures or press material.
- A cruise stays listed only while the operator keeps it bookable.
