Overview

This four-hour charter puts a whole catamaran and its crew at your disposal, sailing out of Palma into the Bay of Palma. The boat is run by Catamaran Good Life, with crew speaking English and Spanish, and the trip follows a steady rhythm: sail out, anchor at a cove, sail on to a second anchorage, then cruise back to port.

At each stop the boat drops anchor and the sea becomes the main event. Snorkelling gear and stand-up paddleboards are part of the package, and there is time to swim or simply stay on deck. A deli-style lunch with tapas and local products is served on board, and drinking water is provided throughout the trip.

Because the boat is booked privately, this suits families and groups who want the day shaped around them rather than a fixed crowd of strangers. One recent group of ten, adults and children together, described their hosts as attentive to the kids and called the day magical. Bring a towel, since towels and bar drinks are not part of the package.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points worth knowing before booking this charter.

Getting there. There is no hotel pickup. Everyone meets at Av. de Gabriel Roca 35, b in Palma, and check-in starts 15 minutes before departure. The listing recommends leaving extra time for parking or traffic.
Time on the water. The full trip runs four hours, split between two anchored stops and the sailing legs between them. The itinerary allows an hour at each cove, with the sails in between treated as scenic time on the bay.
What is served. A deli-style lunch with tapas and local products is included, along with water throughout the trip. Towels and bar service are not included, so bring a towel and plan for any other drinks.
Kit and clothing. Snorkelling equipment and stand-up paddleboards are provided. The listing suggests comfortable clothes, and swimwear makes sense given the two swim stops. Shoes come off indoors on the boat.
Group feel. The charter is private, so the crowd is whatever group you book for. Reviewers who came with children said the hosts were attentive to them, and one group described paddleboarding and jumping off the boat at the anchorage.
Rules on board. Smoking, fishing, littering and coolers are not allowed, nor is bringing your own food and drinks. Unaccompanied minors cannot travel alone on this trip.

Common issues. The honest downsides come from a single review. One reviewer found the boat slow, with close to an hour each way, which left their stop at one location feeling short and meant they visited only one spot instead of two. Beyond that, the practical limits are the exclusions: towels and bar service cost extra, and there is no hotel transfer, so travellers make their own way to the Palma meeting point.
