REVIEWED · BAY AND COASTAL CATAMARAN CRUISES IN MALLORCA
Every one of these 12 bay and coastal catamaran cruises in Mallorca sails often enough to have a real review history behind it. Prices, durations and departure points are set out for each.
Spend five hours aboard a sailing catamaran from Puerto de Alcúdia, cruising Mallorca’s north coast and stopping at clear-water coves. Swim, snorkel, kayak, or use a paddleboard before a barbecue lunch or dinner. The crew speaks English and Spanish, and the boat is wheelchair accessible.
“We had the best day, even though it rained on us during lunch! The crew were fantastic!!”
Spend two easygoing hours at sea with a live guide in English, German, Spanish, or French. Cruise past Paguera, Santa Ponsa, Camp de Mar, and the Malgrats Islands, then stop for a 20-minute swim. The modern catamaran has toilets, a bar, an entertainment area, and underwater viewing windows.
“Lovely 2 hour boat ride. The views were amazing. Great to stop and see the fish under the water. We had a young baby and all was OK with getting the buggy on etc Would do it again!”
Cruise Mallorca’s east coast aboard a glass-bottom catamaran from Porto Cristo, Cala Millor, Cala Bona, Sa Coma, or Calas de Mallorca. You’ll pass caves, Cala Varques, Cala Romantica, and Punta de n’Amer, with swimming stops when sea conditions allow. Multilingual hosts speak Spanish, English, German, French, and Italian.
“The tour is long enough and the scenery is beautiful. We get to explore the entire east coast and also make our way back to our starting point. The swim stop is also good and in crystal clear waters. It would be better if it was slightly longer though. Apart from that it’s enjoyable and good value for money.”
Cruise Mallorca’s southwest coast from Santa Ponsa on a traditional engine catamaran with underwater viewing windows. You’ll stop to swim and snorkel near Cala Egos, visit Port Andratx for 40 minutes, enjoy a pasta buffet, and make a second swim stop. Hotel-area transfers may be available.
“Amazing - the views and swimming were incredible. really good for the price”
Join Moonfish Catamaran for a four-hour cruise between Calas de Mallorca and Cala Millor. You’ll pass Pirate Cave, Cala Varques, Cala Romántica, and Punta de n’Amer, with a short swim stop at Cala Morlanda. Choose from several east-coast piers, with commentary and crew service varying by departure.
“Great activity, the cat was very clean and modern. The captain and his guys were all happy and fun.”
Spend about 4.5 hours aboard the Robinson Catamaran, sailing from Port de Pollença around the bay toward Formentor. You can swim, snorkel, and possibly use a stand-up paddleboard before a lunch of pasta salad, chicken, cheese, Mallorcan bread, fruit, and drinks. Captain Antonio is part of the friendly crew.
“Really friendly and accommodating crew. Nothing was too much for them. A lovely experience - would 100% do it again.”
Join a shared five-hour catamaran cruise from Palma’s Las Golondrinas pier. You’ll sail past the Cathedral and coastal coves, stop twice for swimming and snorkeling, and eat a generous buffet of salads, wraps, skewers, burgers, and desserts. Drinks cost extra, and the boat can feel busy at full capacity.
“We had a wonderful 5 hour sail out on board. The crew were all really friendly, efficient and safety conscious. Lovely lunch. Great weather helped with two swim stops and sailed back to port. Thoroughly recommended..”
From Font de Sa Cala, you’ll cruise past beaches, coves, caves, and the natural bridge at Cala Varques aboard a glass-bottom catamaran. Choose the shorter coastal route with a swim at Canyamel, a Cala Millor stop, or the full-day Porto Cristo trip. A captain is provided, but food, drinks, and hotel transfers are not.
“Es war so wunderschön, wir sind unendlich froh diese Tour gemacht zu haben! Inklusive Badegang im Meer 😍”
Sail from S’Arenal toward a nature reserve on a spacious catamaran, stopping to swim and snorkel in clear Mediterranean water. A BBQ, music, hammocks, and drinks make this a relaxed four-hour outing. The boat can hold up to 146 people, so expect a social party-boat feel rather than a quiet sailing trip.
“This was really fun, the crew was super nice. Not a ton of sea life to sea and they have minimal snorkeling equipment. We loved it, the food was great, stunning views, and lots of swimming time.”
Set out from Palma on Oasis Catamaran for a 4.5-hour cruise toward Cala Vella. The boat holds 57 but limits the group to 36, giving you more room to sit, eat, swim, and use the included paddleboards. A BBQ is served onboard during the stop in the clear waters of this protected coastal area.
“Equipage très sympathique avec un déjeuner sur le catamaran excellent !! Découvertes d une eau cristalline et paysage somptueux . Un grand merci une belle experience en petit groupe. Je recommande.”
Join Leonardo and Silvia aboard a private solar-electric catamaran from Palma’s Real Club Náutico. You’ll cruise quietly to Illetas, Cala Comtesa, or Punta Negra for snorkeling and underwater scooter time, with masks, fins, drinks, fruit, and snacks included. The four-hour trip suits families and groups of up to 12.
“Our guide Leonardo was fantastic. He showed us lots of great snorkeling spots had a freshman and snacks ready to go. We love the ski scooters overall this is one of the best experiences we had on Mallorca.”
Spend about four hours on an adults-only catamaran in Palma Bay, sailing to La Cueva Verde for swimming and paddle surfing before a tapas dinner at sea. The boat holds 57 but accepts no more than 32 people, giving you extra room. Cava, water, snorkel gear, paddle surf equipment, desserts, and return sailing are included.
“nice crew, beautiful boat, tasty regional fresh food and drinks and a beautiful place to swim. thank you so much 🙏🏼”
