Calo des Mort Private Catamaran Tour

Calo des Mort is a small beach at the far end of Migjorn, with rocky edges that make the water especially appealing for snorkeling. This private catamaran trip gives your group a full day afloat, with a skipper handling the boat, an auxiliary dinghy for shore access, and plenty of room for up to 12 people.

I like the freedom to choose your pace: anchor and swim, paddle near the boat, ride ashore, or simply stretch out with music playing through the onboard speaker. I also like the practical setup, especially the large cooler, snorkel gear, and fuel included in the price. The main drawback is cost. At $3,399.57 per group, this makes the most sense for a full group that values privacy and time on the water.

Key points at a glance

• Calo des Mort is the main event: Spend about five hours at this small, rocky beach area at the end of Migjorn.
• A private boat for up to 12: Your group does not share the catamaran with strangers.
• Your captain handles the sailing: Captains named in past trip feedback include Teo, Alejandro, Martin, Francisco, and Jorge, though the assigned skipper can vary.
• Water gear is included: Use the provided snorkel equipment and stand-up paddleboards.
• Shore access is easy: The auxiliary dinghy lets you get from the catamaran to the beach.
• Bring your own provisions: Food and drinks are not included, but you can store them in the large cooler.

A seven-hour outing built around one quiet cove

The day starts at 10:00 a.m. from Es Molí de Sal, at Calle Afores, s/n, on Formentera. From there, your skipper takes care of the route and sailing while you settle into the catamaran. The activity lasts about seven hours and ends back at the same meeting point.

The schedule is simple rather than packed. The main stop is Calo des Mort, where you have roughly five hours to enjoy the beach and surrounding water. That long pause is important. You are not being hurried from one photo stop to the next, and you have time to use the boat as a base.

I see this as a good fit for people who want a private day at sea without needing to organize a bareboat rental. You do not have to manage fuel, navigation, docking, or final cleaning. The skipper does that work, leaving you to enjoy the setting.

The trip is also flexible within the main stop. You can throw down the anchor and enter the water from the catamaran, use a stand-up paddleboard, or take the auxiliary dinghy toward shore. The exact mix is up to your group and the conditions on the day.

Calo des Mort and the rocky end of Migjorn

Calo des Mort is a small beach at the end of Migjorn Beach. Its rocky character is a major part of the appeal. Smooth sand is pleasant for lying down, but rocks create more underwater structure, which can make the area more interesting for snorkeling.

You should think of this as a beach and boat outing rather than a classic sandy beach day. The shore area is limited and rocky, so the catamaran may be the more comfortable place to spend much of your time. The dinghy gives you a useful option if you want to step ashore, look around, or relax near the beach.

The water activities are central to the experience. Snorkel equipment is supplied, so you do not have to pack a full kit. You can also use the stand-up paddleboards, giving your group something active to do between swims.

The description does not promise specific marine life or visibility, and conditions will affect the quality of snorkeling. Still, the rocky setting gives you a clear reason to bring a mask and spend time in the water. If you prefer to stay dry, the catamaran provides space to sit, listen to music, eat, and watch the coast.

What the skipper adds to the day

A skipper makes this a much easier choice than renting a boat on your own. You can enjoy the sailing without worrying about navigation or operating the vessel. The crew also handles the practical work of getting people from the catamaran to shore by dinghy.

The captains associated with past outings include Teo, Alejandro, Martin, Francisco, and Jorge. You should not assume you will receive a particular captain unless the operator confirms it, but the names give you a sense of the crew experience available through CharterAlia Boat Hire Formentera.

Teo is described as attentive, calm, organized, and professional. Alejandro is praised for making the day comfortable and for sharing information about navigation. Martin is noted for good communication and a pleasant manner, while Francisco and Jorge also receive strong praise for their care and service.

That personal attention matters most on a private trip. With a group of 11 or 12, small choices can shape the whole day. A good skipper can help your group settle into a sensible rhythm, manage the dinghy, and keep the mood relaxed.

The boat is not just transport. It becomes your base for the day. You can move between the shaded or open areas, depending on the boat’s design and conditions, and return aboard whenever you need a break from the sun or water.

A practical setup for groups of friends and families

The catamaran accommodates up to 12 people, and the booking is private. That is the clearest reason to consider the price. You are paying $3,399.57 for the group, not for each person. Split among 12 people, that is about $283 per person before your food and drinks. A smaller group will pay more per person.

That price is not a bargain for two or three people. For a large family, birthday group, or group of friends, it can become more reasonable because you are buying privacy, a dedicated skipper, fuel, equipment, and a full day on the water.

The group size also affects comfort. Twelve people is the maximum, so the catamaran will feel busier than it would with six or eight. If everyone wants to sunbathe, use the paddleboards, or move between the beach and boat, you will need to be considerate of one another.

The private format is especially useful if your group has mixed interests. One person can snorkel while another stays aboard with music. Some can use the paddleboard while others take the dinghy to shore. You are not tied to the interests of a larger shared group.

The onboard Megaboom Bluetooth speaker is a nice extra for a private outing. You can play your own music, but keep the volume sensible. The best part of a coastal day is often the sound of the water and the company around you.

Pack your cooler before leaving

Food and drinks are not included. The trip does include a large cool box, so you can buy provisions before departure and keep them chilled aboard. The operator has reportedly helped people find the closest shop for water and food, which is useful because it removes one small piece of guesswork.

Plan this part before 10:00 a.m. You should bring enough water for a long day in the sun, along with food that is easy to handle on a boat or beach. Since no meal service is included, your group is responsible for everything it wants to eat and drink.

The cooler is more than a minor convenience. Seven hours is a long time to be outside, and the main stop lasts around five hours. Having your own supplies lets you eat when you want rather than cutting the outing short.

You should also bring the personal items you normally need for a day near the sea. The supplied equipment covers snorkeling and paddleboarding, but the tour information does not specify towels, sunscreen, or other personal gear. Pack with that gap in mind.

What is covered in the price

The fee includes fuel, required insurance, all taxes, the skipper, the auxiliary dinghy, snorkel equipment, stand-up paddleboards, the Bluetooth speaker, the cooler, and final cleaning.

That list gives you a fairly clear picture of what you are buying. Fuel is already handled, so you are not watching an extra meter during the trip. Final cleaning is also included, which means your group does not finish the day with a large cleanup job.

The dinghy is particularly useful because it makes the beach more accessible from the anchored catamaran. It is used for embarking and disembarking, so you have a practical way to move between boat and shore.

The tour does not include food or drinks. There is also no promise of a particular route beyond the Calo des Mort stop, no stated meal, and no stated hotel transfer. You meet at Es Molí de Sal and return there at the end.

Why the long stop works well

A five-hour stop can sound excessive if you expect a quick sightseeing cruise. Here, it makes sense because Calo des Mort is meant to be enjoyed slowly. You have time for more than one swim, a snack, a turn on the paddleboard, and a short visit to shore.

The long pause also protects the day from feeling rushed. You can anchor, get settled, and decide what sounds good next. If the sea is calm, you may spend most of the time in the water. If you want a quieter outing, the catamaran gives you somewhere to sit and rest.

The tradeoff is that this is not a wide-ranging tour of many Formentera coves. The listed plan focuses on Calo des Mort, so you should book it for time at one special coastal area rather than for a long list of stops.

Some past outings included extra memorable moments, such as seeing dolphins and learning about navigation, but these are not guaranteed parts of the program. Treat them as possible bonuses, not promises.

Timing, weather, and cancellation rules

The 10:00 a.m. start gives you most of the day at sea and allows the main stop to run into the afternoon. The activity ends back at Es Molí de Sal after about seven hours.

Good weather is required. If poor weather forces the operator to cancel, you will be offered a different date or a full refund. That is helpful protection for an experience built around an open boat and water activities.

Your own cancellation terms are strict. The booking is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. If you cancel or request an amendment, the amount paid will not be returned. For a group booking at this price, confirm your date and group size carefully before paying.

Confirmation is provided at booking. Service animals are allowed, and the activity states that most people can participate. The information does not provide detailed mobility guidance for the catamaran, dinghy, beach, or rocky shore, so ask the operator about your specific needs before booking.

Who will enjoy this catamaran most

I would recommend this outing to a group that wants privacy, water time, and a relaxed schedule. It suits friends who want music and swimming, families who prefer their own space, and anyone who would rather have a skipper than operate a boat independently.

It is also a strong choice for groups with different energy levels. The active members can snorkel or paddle, while others stay aboard or visit the beach. The private format means you do not have to match the pace of strangers.

I would hesitate if your group is small and price-sensitive. Two people would be paying a great deal for the same seven-hour booking. I would also look elsewhere if you want a guided history tour, a formal meal, or a packed route with several destinations.

The rocky shore may be less appealing if your ideal beach day means soft sand and easy wading. Calo des Mort offers a more rugged setting, and the rocks are part of what makes it useful for snorkeling.

Should you book the Calo des Mort catamaran?

Book it if your group can share the cost and wants a private day built around swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and time at one attractive Formentera beach. The skipper, dinghy, included fuel, gear, cooler, and cleaning make the day easy to manage.

Think carefully if your group is small, if you dislike preparing your own food and drinks, or if you want many different stops. For the right group, this is less a sightseeing checklist than a private floating base at Calo des Mort, with enough time to enjoy the coast at your own speed.
