Overview

This Sailpalma catamaran trip leaves from La Lonja Marina Charter in Palma and spends four hours along the Mallorca coast with a cap of 10 to 12 guests on board. The boat anchors in a bay inside the Bay of Palma, where the stop is given over to swimming, snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding and lounging in the sun or under the sails. A welcome drink is poured on boarding, and freshly made tapas to share come out during the trip. Water is included too.

The mood is unhurried rather than a packed sightseeing run. Reviewers regularly describe it as a chilled, almost private outing, and one traveller noted that the team gave clear explanations before departure, which made the tour comfortable. Beyond the welcome drink and tapas, anything else you want to drink, whether wine, soft drinks, cocktails, cava or champagne, is bought on board at extra cost. Gear for the water, including snorkels, SUP boards and floats, is provided on the daytime trip.

It suits travellers who want a short, relaxed half day on the water with proper swim stops, without the crowds of a large excursion boat. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunglasses, sunscreen and something warm, since it can get windy and cool at sea. Smokers should note that smoking is not allowed on board. There is no hotel pickup, so the trip starts and ends at La Lonja Marina Charter in Palma.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this day goes, from what to pack to how the food and drinks work.

What to bring. The operator recommends swimwear, a towel, sunglasses, sunscreen and sun protection for your head and shoulders. A jacket or hoody is also advised because it can get windy and chilly on board. Beachwear is the dress code of the day.
Group feel. The boat takes a maximum of 10 to 12 people, which keeps the atmosphere intimate. Reviewers often mention the small group and the space to spread out and relax on board.
Food and drink. A welcome drink, water and freshly made tapas are included. Extra drinks such as wine, cocktails and cava are available to purchase on board, and several reviewers praised the tapas. Gratuities are not included.
Water gear. Snorkelling equipment, SUP boards and floats are provided on the four-hour daytime trip, and reviewers say they could use them freely at the swim stops. These are not part of the sunset departure, so check which option is booked.
Getting there. There is no hotel pickup. Everyone meets at La Lonja Marina Charter on Muelle de la lonja in Palma, and the tour returns to the same spot.
Paperwork. The operator asks for passport details after booking confirmation, as required by boat law. Have them ready when the request comes through.

Common issues. A few travellers said the details around drink inclusions, water charges and bringing outside drinks could be clearer, so read the listing carefully before you go and budget for drinks beyond the welcome drink, tapas and water. One reviewer found the second swim stop a bit rough with waves, so sea conditions vary by the day. Wind on the water can feel cold even in warm weather, and smoking is not permitted on board. Cancellation is only free up to 24 hours in advance.
