Private Sailboat Day in Mallorca: Tramuntana Coast with Captain

Seven hours sailing under cliffs, swimming at hidden stops, snorkeling and paddling on your own board

A full-day private sailboat experience on Mallorca's Tramuntana Coast, where you sail under sea cliffs with a local captain, swim and snorkel at secluded stops, and paddle a SUP board in clear water. The boat is yours alone, the captain speaks English or Spanish, and snorkeling gear plus the paddle board are included. Seven hours total; suitable for all fitness levels, and infants sit with an adult.

The Experience

What makes the Tramuntana Coast worth a full day on the water is that a sailboat gets you to the stops a car cannot reach — the small coves tucked under the cliffs where the water stays clear and the crowds do not arrive. A local captain who knows which ones are worth the sail handles the navigation and the secrets; you handle the swimming, the snorkeling, and the paddle board when the mood strikes. The boat is private, so the day moves at your pace and the stops are yours to linger in.

Snorkeling gear is on board and ready; a SUP board comes too, so you can paddle out from the anchored boat if you want to. The captain will show you where to look underwater and which coves have the calmest water for paddling. Seven hours means you have time to sail, swim at more than one stop, eat something, and still have the afternoon light for the paddle board without rushing through any of it.

The boat leaves from Mallorca and returns to the same point; public transport reaches the departure spot. Infants travel free but sit on an adult's lap. The captain speaks English or Spanish, so the day unfolds in whichever language suits your group.

Top questions

What is the Tramuntana Coast like when you sail it on a private boat?

The Tramuntana is a stretch of sea cliffs along Mallorca's northwest edge, and a sailboat lets you approach the base of them and stop at small coves tucked underneath where the water is clear and shallow enough to snorkel. A car cannot reach these stops; the boat can.

Can I snorkel and paddle a SUP board on the same day?

Yes. Snorkeling gear and a SUP board are both included, and the captain will anchor at stops where both make sense. You choose when and where to use each one.

How long is seven hours on a sailboat, and what does that time actually cover?

Seven hours includes sailing time, stops for swimming and snorkeling, time to paddle if you want to, and a break to eat. You are not rushed through any of it; the pace is set by what you want to do at each cove.

Does the captain speak English?

The captain speaks English or Spanish. Let the operator know which language you prefer when you book.

What happens if I have never paddled a SUP board before?

The SUP board is included and the captain can show you how to use it. It is stable in calm water, and you paddle from the anchored boat in the coves where the water is flattest.
