Overview

This four-hour catamaran trip leaves from the pier at Cala Ratjada and sails along the Cap des Freus and into the Llevant Natural Park area. You board at 09:30 at Mayurca Yachting on Carrer Ingeniero Gabriel Roca and spend the morning on the water, passing Capdepera, Cala Ratjada itself, Cala Agulla and Arta along the way. The route is a pass-by itinerary, so the boat drifts past headlands and coves rather than stopping at each named place in turn.

The core of the day is the swimming and snorkelling. Snorkel gear is included, and several travellers wrote that the swimming stops were a highlight. One Spanish reviewer specifically praised the spots for swimming and snorkelling, and a German reviewer described the swimming as a big part of the fun. Lunch is served on board, with drinks (water and soft drinks), bread and dessert included in the ticket.

The listing says most travellers can participate, and one German reviewer recommended it for families. It is not a guided commentary tour; one German reviewer noted they had expected island commentary and got none, though the crew was friendly and the food good. Note that drinks outside lunch cost extra, and be aware the trip needs good weather to run.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical things shape the day on this trip, from the size of the boat to what is and is not in the ticket.

Swim gear. Snorkelling equipment is included. Several travellers named the swimming and snorkelling stops as the best part of the day. One reviewer noted the bathing spots were not crowded.
Group size. The listing caps the trip at 140 travellers, so this is a large shared catamaran. If a small-boat feel matters to you, read the listing terms closely before booking.
Food and drink. Lunch with water and soft drinks, bread and dessert is included. Drinks before and after lunch are not, so plan for that extra cost.
No commentary. This is a sailing and swimming trip, not a guided tour of the island. One German reviewer expected commentary about Mallorca and found there was none. A French reviewer did mention receiving explanations in French, so some crew commentary happens, but do not book this for a narrated tour.
Getting there. There is no hotel pickup and no pickup service of any kind. You make your own way to the pier at Cala Ratjada for 09:30. The meeting point is near public transport, which helps if you are staying further away.
Weather dependence. The trip requires good weather and will be cancelled in poor conditions. If that happens, you are offered a different date or a full refund. Several reviewers described the weather and the setting as a big part of the experience, so the sailing conditions genuinely matter here.

Common issues. The trip is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs are allowed and infants must sit on laps. One French reviewer booked for a group of about fifteen and reported the boat carried far more passengers than the maximum of thirty they said they were told, and that music was not permitted; treat the listing's stated maximum of 140 as the operative number when you book. Lunch drinks are limited to the meal itself, with anything before or after costing extra. No hotel pickup is provided, and the sailing depends on good weather, with a different date or a full refund offered if it is cancelled.
