The experience

The captain meets you at Puerto de Andratx and you sail southwest along the Mallorcan coast, stopping at coves like Cala en Tió, Cala en Basset, Cala d'Egos, Sant Elm or Cala Llamp: each one reachable only by water. The boat is yours alone, so the day moves at your speed: you can stay longer at a cove that suits you, skip one that doesn't, or ask the captain to find a different anchorage if the water looks better elsewhere. The atmosphere stays relaxed and personal throughout.

At each stop, the water is clear enough to snorkel or paddle board, and the captain provides the gear. You can swim, explore underwater, or stay on deck with a drink and watch the coast. If you want to participate in sailing the boat, the captain will teach you. If you'd rather sit back, that works too. Bottled water and light island snacks are on board. If you want a proper meal, you can bring your own picnic or the captain can arrange a stop at a restaurant. You decide.

The boat carries life jackets for everyone and is equipped for eight hours at sea. Children ride free (infants sit on an adult's lap), and small pets are welcome. The whole group stays under six people, so there's no crowding and no strangers sharing the deck.
