The Experience

The boat leaves Palma at 11:00 and heads into the bay, where the coastline and city silhouette come into view from the water. As you sail, the contrast between the blue Mediterranean and the Mallorcan hills frames the morning, and there's room to move around the deck, take photographs or simply sit in the sun. The crew handles navigation while you watch the seafront and harbour recede.

Two stops break the sailing. At each one, you put on the mask and tube provided and slip into the water to swim and snorkel in the clear bay. Between stops, the boat keeps moving, so you see different stretches of coast and get the rhythm of a full day at sea without the effort of planning it. Food and drinks are available on board if you want them, though you bring your own or buy from the galley menu.

The boat has an underwater viewing panel, so even those who don't snorkel can watch the water from inside. Infants travel in a pram or stroller on deck, and the crew confirms the experience works for all fitness levels. The five hours means you're back by mid-afternoon, leaving the rest of your day open.

What’s included

• Masks and tubes for snorkeling at both stops.
• a spacious boat with underwater viewing panel and rest areas.

Is this one for you?Depart from Palma itself at 11:00, so you need no transport to a distant port or a car to reach the coast — the boat leaves the bay where the city sits, and you're back by mid-afternoon with the rest of your day free. This works for anyone staying in or near Palma without a vehicle, or for couples and families who want a full maritime day without the planning.

Top questions

What's included in the snorkeling equipment?

Masks and tubes are provided on board; you bring nothing for the water itself. Wetsuits are not mentioned, so bring sun protection and a rash guard if you're concerned about sun exposure during the two swimming stops.

Can I bring my family with young children?

Yes, the experience is designed for families. Infants can travel in a pram or stroller on deck, and small children sit on an adult's lap. The boat suits all fitness levels, so there's no age or ability bar to entry.

Is lunch included, or do I need to bring food?

Lunch is not included. Food and drink are available on board with a menu of varied and affordable options you can order during the sail, so you can eat on the water without packing a meal.

What languages does the crew speak?

An audio guide is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and four additional languages, so you can follow the experience in your own language during the sail.
