Overview

This half-day sailing trip with Oasis Catamaran spends four hours and 30 minutes out on the Bay of Palma, departing from and returning to the Escalera Real on Palma's Paseo Maritimo, just to the left of La Lonja Marina Charter when facing the sea. Once aboard, the catamaran sails along the coast and anchors in a cove, where passengers can swim, and reviewers mention paddle boarding and snorkelling in the same spot. A BBQ is served on board as part of the ticket.

The group is capped at 36 travellers, and one recent reviewer counted roughly 30 people on their sailing, which they felt kept the boat from feeling crowded. Reviews of the crew and the food are genuinely mixed, with several travellers praising both warmly and others describing an unfriendly welcome or a disappointing meal.

It suits travellers who want a relaxed water day with swimming and food included, and who can make their own way to the Palma waterfront. It does not suit anyone needing wheelchair access, since the listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible, and infants must sit on laps. Hotel pickup is not included, so the meeting point on the Paseo Maritimo is where the day starts and ends.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical details will shape the day, from finding the dock to how the shared group feels on the water.

Finding the dock. The meeting point is the Escalera Real on the Paseo Maritimo, next to La Lonja Marina Charter. One reviewer found the directions confusing from a cruise ship and even their taxi driver was puzzled.
Bring snorkels. Several travellers highlight the swim stop, and one recommends bringing your own snorkels. Paddle boards are mentioned by reviewers as available at the anchorage, but nothing in the listing lists gear among the inclusions, so check the booking page for what is provided.
Group size. The boat takes a maximum of 36 travellers, and one reviewer counted around 30 on their trip and found it uncrowded. Expect a shared, sociable outing rather than a private charter.
Food on board. The BBQ on board is included in the ticket. Reviews of the food run from praise, with one traveller calling it beyond their expectations, to sharp criticism from another who found it awful.
Weather dependency. The listing states the experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, travellers are offered a different date or a full refund, so keep some flexibility in your plans.
Getting there. Hotel pickup is not included, so travellers arrange their own transport to the Paseo Maritimo. Infants must sit on laps, and the tour is not wheelchair accessible.

Common issues. The trip runs only with a minimum number of travellers; if that minimum is not met, the operator offers a different date or experience, or a full refund. Weather cancellations are handled the same way. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, hotel pickup is not included, and one reviewer reported difficulty finding the dock from a cruise ship and an unwelcoming check-in.
