Overview

This four-hour private charter with Catamaran Good Life leaves from the cruise port area of Palma, at Avinguda de Gabriel Roca, and spends the whole trip out on the Bay of Palma. Because the sailing is private, the boat is exclusive to your party.

The shape of the afternoon is straightforward. After the sail out, the boat stops so passengers can swim, snorkel and use the stand up paddle boards, with roughly an hour at that stop. A short hop later comes a second stop, where tapas made with local produce are served while the sun goes down over the water. The final leg back to port is timed so you see Palma from the deck as the city lights come on.

It suits couples, families and friends who want a slower, food-and-water outing rather than a party boat. Two things to plan for: drinks are not included, and there is no bar service onboard. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and something warm for after sunset.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points worth knowing before you book this trip.

What to bring. The listing asks for swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and weather-appropriate clothing. Something warm for the sail back is sensible, since the return happens after sunset.
Food and drink. Tapas are included, built around local produce. Drinks are not, and there is no bar service onboard.
Activities are optional. Snorkeling and paddle boarding are included but nothing is compulsory. Travellers who prefer to stay dry can relax in the bow nets or watch from the deck while others are in the water.
Private group feel. This is a private sailing, so the only people aboard are your own party. The listing pitches it for couples, families and friends.
Getting there. There is no pickup included. You make your own way to Av. de Gabriel Roca, 35, in Palma, so factor in travel time to the port area before departure.
What you cannot bring. The listing prohibits outside food and drinks, coolers, smoking, fishing and littering. Shoes come off indoors, and unaccompanied minors cannot travel alone.

Common issues. The main limit is the drinks policy: no bar service and no drinks included, which some travellers may not expect on a sunset trip. Outside food, drinks and coolers are also not allowed, so you cannot self-cater around the tapas. Hotel pickup is not part of the tour, so transport to the Palma meeting point is on you. The free cancellation window closes 24 hours before departure.
