Catamaran sailing in Palma Mallorca: aperitif and BBQ
Paddle boards come with the boat, not as an add-on.
A 5.5-hour catamaran sailing activity from Palma Mallorca to Cala Vella, a protected nature reserve, where you swim in clear water, paddle board, and eat a freshly prepared BBQ on the boat. The catamaran carries a maximum of 55 passengers to keep the experience comfortable, and includes an aperitif at the first stop, stand-up paddle boarding, and the BBQ meal.
The Experience
The boat leaves Palma and heads toward Cala Vella, a nature reserve with small coves and water clear enough to see the bottom. You'll anchor there long enough to swim, float, and relax—the paddle boards are already on board and included, so you can paddle out without renting or paying extra. The crew prepares the BBQ directly on the boat while you're in the water, so when you climb back on board, the food is ready.
A bar stays open the whole time, stocked with cocktails, mixed drinks, and non-alcoholic options. The route can shift if weather turns, but the stops and the meal stay the same. The return journey follows the Bay back to Palma. Infants sit on an adult's lap; the activity suits all fitness levels.
What’s included
- Aperitif at La Cueva Verda.
- stand-up paddle boards.
- freshly prepared BBQ meal on board.
- use of the bar with cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the sailing.
Operated by Oasis Catamaran
Is this one for you?Book this if you want paddleboarding and swimming built into the itinerary rather than as add-ons you'd arrange elsewhere—the catamaran stops at Cala Vella specifically for both, plus includes an aperitif and BBQ at anchor points.

The boat holds up to 84 people, but the operator limits sailings to a maximum of 55 passengers to keep the experience comfortable.
What's the aperitif, and where do we have it?
The aperitif is served at the first stop, called La Cueva Verda, before the boat continues to Cala Vella for the main BBQ meal.
