Snorkeling in Mallorca: Catamaran to Cap des Freus
The catamaran stops where the cliffs drop straight into crystalline water, and you drop in after.
A four-hour catamaran trip from Cala Ratjada along Mallorca's northeast coast, with stops to snorkel and swim in the Cap des Freus reserve and Llevant Natural Park. The boat carries snorkeling equipment, serves a traditional Mallorcan lunch onboard with drinks included, and is led by a professional crew speaking English or Spanish. Children from age 2 are welcome.

The Experience
The catamaran Blue Mediterranean leaves the port of Cala Ratjada and sails northeast through the Llevant Peninsula nature park and the Cap des Freus reserve — an unspoiled stretch of white sand beaches and clear water. The route passes hidden coves and dramatic cliffs as the boat moves toward the anchorpoint, a sheltered spot where you'll spend the middle hours of the day. Snorkeling gear is on board and ready to use; the crew handles the navigation and the timing, so you're free to decide how much time you spend in the water and how much lounging on deck.
Lunch arrives midday, cooked fresh on the boat: grilled chicken, Trempó salad, vegetable tumbet, bread and fruit, with water, soft drinks, beer and sangría included throughout. The meal is the anchor of the day — a break from the water before the final stretch of sailing back to Cala Ratjada. Between swimming, snorkeling and eating, the four hours move without gaps or waiting.
The crew is professional and multilingual, which means you get the route explained and questions answered without a language barrier. Infants can travel on an adult's lap; small children can ride in a pram or stroller if needed. Public transportation runs near the port if you're arriving without a car.
