Overview

This four-hour trip runs on an electric solar-powered catamaran out of Palma's Real Club Náutico, which means no engine noise and no fuel smell while you cross the Bay of Palma. The boat holds up to 12 passengers plus crew, so it stays uncrowded by design. The standard route calls at Illetas, Cala Comtesa and Punta Negra, with the crew swapping to another bay if conditions demand it.

Snorkel gear, Easybreath masks, fins and six underwater sea scooters are available on board for exploring the sea life at the stops. Soft drinks, still and sparkling water, snacks and fruit are served on board, though a full meal is not part of the package. Guests should be able to swim and be in reasonable physical shape.

Departure slots shift with the season: mornings and afternoons year-round, plus a sunset option whose start time is set two hours before sunset and has to be requested. Several reviewers described the trip as relaxing and praised the crew for taking care of everything. The trip suits swimmers who want a quiet, low-emission sailing day with plenty of time in the water.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the day go smoothly, from what to wear to how the timing works.

What to wear. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunglasses, sunscreen and weather-appropriate clothing, plus a passport or ID copy. Shoes, high heels, luggage, large bags and outside food and drinks are not allowed on board.
Swimming ability. The listing states guests need to know how to swim and be in good physical condition.
Sea state. If you are prone to motion sickness, take a preventative pill half an hour before the experience starts, as the listing advises. Conditions in the bay also determine which stops the crew uses on the day.
Food and drink. Soft drinks, still and sparkling water, snacks and fruit are included after the first stop. A proper meal is not part of the package, so eat beforehand if you want more than light refreshments.
Group feel. Capacity is capped at 12 passengers plus crew, and the listing emphasises no crowds, no noisy engines and no fuel smell. Multiple reviewers described the trip as exclusive and relaxing, with one family saying the crew gave their kids a great time.
Getting there. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so plan your own way to the Palma meeting point. Arrive 20 minutes early, and confirm the exact meeting point on the booking page since it depends on the option selected.

Common issues. The honest limits: there is no hotel transport, no full meal, and no outside food, drinks or alcohol allowed on board. Start times shift by month, and the sunset slot's departure time has to be requested rather than chosen from a fixed schedule. The crew may substitute a different bay if weather conditions change, and the listing requires guests to be able to swim and in good physical condition, which rules out some travellers. A sea-sickness pill is recommended for anyone sensitive to swell.
