Mallorca Catamaran Cruise: Swim, Snorkel & Tapas

Swim and snorkel in crystal water, then eat tapas on the boat

A 4-hour small group catamaran cruise from Palma, Mallorca, where you swim, snorkel or paddleboard in turquoise Balearic waters, then return to the boat for homemade Spanish tapas and cocktails. The crew speaks English, Spanish and German, and all water equipment (snorkelling gear, SUP boards, floating devices) is provided. You choose how active your afternoon is: dive in or stay on deck.

Step-by-step itinerary

Mallorca catamaran cruise with tapas

• Enjoy cocktails and Spanish tapas
• Swim and snorkel in clear water
• Use seascooters, floating devices, and SUP boards
• Relax and enjoy the scenic cruise

The experience

The catamaran leaves from D-Marin Palma Cuarentena, a marina near the cruise ship terminal and public transport, so getting there is straightforward. Your skipper meets you 10 minutes before departure and takes you out into the Balearic waters. The boat has a big trampoline where you can stretch out between swims, and a professional bartender on board makes cocktails and mocktails to order. You pay for drinks separately, but the typical homemade Spanish tapas are included.

The water stops are where the day splits into what you want to do. Snorkelling gear, SUP boards and floating devices are all there waiting. You can strap on a mask and explore underwater, stand on a paddleboard and push out from the boat, or simply float and drift. If you came to move, the equipment is ready. If you came to be still, the trampoline and the view of the islands work just as well. The water is clear enough that either choice feels complete.

Four hours means you're back in Palma with the afternoon still ahead of you: long enough to feel like a real escape, short enough to fit around other plans. The small group size keeps the boat from feeling crowded, and because the crew speaks three languages, there's no translation lag between what you want to do and what happens next.
