Overview

This Attraction Catamarans cruise leaves from the pier in Palma and crosses the Bay of Palma on a modern catamaran, with a stop for swimming and snorkeling at Cala Vella before a buffet meal served on board. When wind conditions allow, the crew raises the sails for part of the trip, giving passengers the sensation of moving purely on the wind. A DJ plays chill-out and live sets throughout, and a professional photographer works the deck.

Two departure options exist and they differ in length. The morning cruise runs 5 hours and includes buffet lunch, while the sunset option runs 4 hours, serves dinner, and returns across the bay as the sun goes down behind Palma. Both follow the same basic shape: boarding in Palma, the sail out, the swim stop, the meal, and views of Palma Cathedral and Bellver Castle on the way back while the crew shares local tips.

The buffet covers vegetarian and vegan eaters and water comes with the meal, but bar drinks cost extra. The atmosphere is relaxed and social rather than quiet, with chill-out music part of the day. It suits travellers who want a half-day on the water with food, swimming and a party-leaning vibe, and less so anyone wanting a private or silent sail. Hotel transfer is not included, so plan to make your own way to the pier.

Itinerary

Meet at the pierCheck in with the Attraction Catamarans crew at the pier in Palma. There is no hotel pickup or drop-off, so travellers arrive on their own.
Sail the Bay of PalmaCruise out across the bay while the crew serves drinks from the bar. When wind conditions allow, the sails go up for a stretch of true wind-powered sailing.
Cala Vella swim stopAnchor at Cala Vella for swimming, snorkeling or relaxing on deck. The stop may move elsewhere in the bay if conditions are poor, and snorkel gear is sold on board for €20.
Buffet meal on boardThe crew lays out a gourmet buffet with fresh ingredients and vegetarian and vegan options, served with water. Bar drinks are paid for separately.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape the day, from what is and is not included to how the boat is laid out.

Bring basics. The listing asks for a sun hat, swimwear, a towel and sunscreen. Towels are not provided free; one can be bought on board for €8. Outside food and drinks cannot be brought onto the boat.
VIP upgrade. Several reviewers paid extra on arrival for the VIP front area and called it the best decision, citing the atmosphere and the food. One reviewer noted enjoying champagne there. The standard listing does not detail exactly what the VIP area includes, so ask the crew at check-in before deciding.
Group feel. This is a shared cruise with a DJ, and reviewers describe good music and a lively atmosphere rather than a quiet sail. One birthday celebration on board turned into a highlight for that traveller. Choose the trip if a social, music-forward boat suits you.
Food and drink. The buffet draws consistent praise, with reviewers calling it plentiful, excellent and high quality. Water comes with the meal; cocktails and bar drinks are paid for separately, and reviewers found the onboard drink prices fair and the cocktails well made. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are part of the spread.
Photos on board. A professional photographer sails with the trip, and several reviewers singled out the photos, with one saying the photographer even guided their poses. Note that images taken on board may be used commercially by the company; tell the photographers if you do not consent.
Weather flexibility. The route depends on conditions. The swim stop may shift to another part of the bay, sails only go up with adequate wind, and the whole date can be rescheduled if the sea is unfavorable. Build some slack into your plans.

Common issues. The main friction points are extra costs and unclear ticket tiers. Snorkel gear at €20, towels at €8 and all bar drinks add up on top of the ticket, and the listing itself flags that travellers want clearer information on what the VIP front area and standard tickets actually include. Weather can change the itinerary, move the swim stop or postpone the date entirely. No hotel transfer is provided, and pets plus your own food and drink are not allowed on board.
