Overview

This four-hour sail from Palma runs on an electric catamaran, which means the ride out is quiet and free of exhaust fumes. Boarding happens at the Muelle de Golondrinas, in front of the Auditorium on the Paseo Marítimo, and the first thing handed over is a welcome drink, either a glass of cava or a juice. From there the boat cruises the Bay of Palma for about an hour toward a swimming spot with clear turquoise water.

Once anchored, roughly two hours are free for the water toys, all included at no extra charge: stand-up paddleboards, snorkeling gear, floating mats, a jump and a slide off the top of the boat. Reviewers regularly single out this anchored stretch, the slide and the paddleboards especially, as the best part of the day. One reviewer described a spread of meat, cheese, hummus, Spanish omelette, bread, olives and vegetables, and the listing confirms finger foods with vegetarian and vegan options.

On the way back the boat pauses in front of Palma Cathedral for photos, then docks at the same pier. Only eight VIP seats exist per departure and they cost extra, payable on board, and include one additional drink. The tour runs in English and Spanish with a skipper and crew on board.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this day goes, from what the ticket covers to how the swim stop works.

What is free. The welcome drink, tapas, drinking water, paddleboards, snorkeling gear and lifejackets are all in the ticket price. Reviewers mention the food and the service alongside the water activities, and one described a spread including cheese, meat, hummus, Spanish omelette and bread.
VIP seats. Only eight VIP seats per trip exist and they are sold on board for an extra fee, including one extra drink. Reviewers who paid described a top-deck bed shared with only a handful of people instead of the main seating below, and several said it was worth it for lounging at the cove. If the plan is to spend most of the stop in the water, one reviewer suggested the main deck is fine.
Swimming and fitness. The core of the tour is around two hours in the sea, with lifejackets available and all activities optional, so travellers can swim, float or stay on board as they prefer.
Group feel. Reviews describe an upbeat, social trip with music and an attentive crew. It is a shared outing with other passengers rather than a private charter.
Weather and timing. The itinerary and the exact anchoring spot depend on sea conditions, and the operator may reschedule the date if conditions are poor. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure, which matters if the forecast is uncertain.
Photos and the cathedral. The return leg includes a pause in front of Palma Cathedral. The listing notes photo opportunities on this stretch, and one reviewer described the cathedral view as an enjoyable part of the cruise.

Common issues. Extra costs can add up: additional drinks, underwater scooters and the eight VIP seats are all paid on board, and some travellers said the listing could be clearer about what those extras cover. Outside drinks are not allowed on the boat. One reviewer felt the food was cleared away too quickly and that boarding instructions about shoes could have been clearer. The date can be rescheduled if sea conditions are unfavorable, and the exact itinerary is weather dependent.

Common Questions

Where Does The Tour Start And Is Hotel Pickup Included?

There is no hotel pickup. The meeting point is the Muelle de Golondrinas in front of the Auditorium on Paseo Marítimo in Palma, and the boat returns to the same spot about four hours later.

What Is Included In The Price?

The ticket covers the catamaran cruise, a welcome drink of cava or juice, finger foods and tapas with vegetarian and vegan options, drinking water, paddleboards, snorkeling equipment, lifejackets, and the crew and skipper. Underwater scooters, extra drinks and VIP seating are sold separately on board.

What Are The VIP Seats And Do I Need Them?

There are only eight VIP seats per departure, purchased on board for an additional charge, and they include one extra drink. Reviewers who bought them described a top-deck bed shared with far fewer people than the main deck below. Travellers who plan to spend the whole swim stop in the water said the regular deck is perfectly adequate.

Is The Tour Suitable For Children And Non-Swimmers?

The listing does not state age restrictions, so check the booking page for family bookings. Lifejackets are provided and all water activities are optional, though the heart of the trip is a long swim stop, so the tour suits people comfortable around water.

Can I Cancel Or Reschedule?

Yes, cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund. The operator may also reschedule the tour date if sea conditions are not favorable, and the exact route and anchoring spot depend on conditions on the day.

What Should I Bring?

The listing does not give a packing list, so check the booking page before departure. Alcohol cannot be brought aboard, and outside drinks are not allowed, though drinks are available to buy on board. Smoking and vaping are also not permitted.
