Snorkeling in Mallorca: Private sailing with SUP and drinks

Sail to turquoise coves, snorkel the shallows, paddle out on a board

A private sailing excursion in Mallorca's Bay of Palma where you snorkel at Cala Blava, paddle surf, and swim in turquoise Mediterranean waters. The boat is yours alone, and snorkeling equipment, paddle boards, Spanish snacks and two drinks per person are included. Four hours on the water, suitable for all fitness levels.

The Experience

Four hours on a private boat means you set the rhythm. The boat leaves the Bay of Palma and heads to Cala Blava, a cove known for water so clear you see the bottom from the surface. You stop to swim and snorkel—the equipment is there waiting—and the water stays shallow enough that you can stand. Caves run along the rocks if you want to explore them; the Mallorcan coast rises behind you either way.

Between the water time, the boat stays anchored. Spanish omelette, pizza and hummus with crudités come out, along with two drinks per person—soft drinks, white wine or beer, your choice. This is when most groups linger, eating and talking, or when you grab a paddle board and push out for a while. The SUP boards are there if you want them; they are not mandatory.

The sunset happens on the way back. No schedule rushes you off the water—the four hours are yours to split between swimming, snorkeling, paddling and sitting still. Children can come; infants ride on an adult's lap. A live guide speaks English and Spanish throughout, so the commentary reaches everyone on board.
