Being an island, Mallorca offers endless options for boat trips, and we have something for all budgets and from all different areas of the island. We work with only the best suppliers and boat captains to ensure you a brillliant day out and excellent service.
Mallorca is a family destination and we have some great boat trips that people of all ages can enjoy together. If you have small children, a two-hour excursion on a glass-bottom boat is a must. You will have magnificent views of Mallorca’s coves and bays, your little ones can look through the glass to see the fishes in the water, and you will have the opportunity to jump off the boat for a swim and to cool off in the sea.
If you are staying in Palma City, the one-hour boat trip around the port is a must for families. You will see the cathedral from the sea and you will take a Mallorca tour in and out of the small fishing boats and the huge cruise ships. This trip runs several times throughout the day and you can buy an open ticket on this website.
In the north of the island, our top boat trip for families is the Robinson Boat. This is a full day excursion with lunch included and with departure from Puerto Pollensa. Adults and kids alike love this excursion on a rustic wooden pirate boat which stops at different coves for swimming and snorkelling, shows you the magnificent Formentor Beach and the bay of Pollensa and also allows you time for fishing.
Mallorca is a party island and those looking for a refreshingly good time out at sea need look no further. We have party boats and booze cruises that none can rival. Most go from Magaluf, Santa Ponsa, Palma and Arenal. Sail your afternoon away on a fun catamaran tour with a DJ on board, food and drinks included and the chance for a swim too. Have a few sun-downers as you watch the magnificent sunset and as party daytime turns into party nighttime! Many of our party boats and booze cruises include special packages for clubs where the party continues once on dry land. These are special early booking offers that sell out quickly and aren’t normally available once in resort.
Boat operators in Mallorca have realised that in the Mediterranean we can see dolphins in the wild! Get your camera ready and set sail on Mallorca’s calm waters to see if you can spot dolphins. Most of the dolphin-watching tours take place at sunrise, which is when there is more chance of spotting these majestic creatures in the wild. And there really is a good chance of spotting them; some of the boat companies that we work with report to have seen dolphins on every single dolphin-watching excursion they have ever operated. Sounds like good odds.
Our full day boat tours are by far the most popular kind of tour in the summer. Feel the wind in your hair and the glass of sangria in your hand as you sail away from the port out into the sea. Sunbathe on the nets or relax in the shade on the benches. Help the crew hoist the sail or just sit and watch. Visit little-known coves with spectacular views and snorkel or swim in crystal-clear waters before you are served a delicious lunch on board prepared by your crew.
Most full day boat tours are around six hours long and are great value tours with lunch included. Many boats include the use of kayaks and stand-up paddles as well as snorkel masks and fins. Some boat tours in Mallorca are even better value, offering an all-inclusive board basis on a reduced capacity catamaran. Just type your resort in the search box and see what is available in your area. Remember, the catamaran tours are the ones that get booked up quicker than any other tour in Mallorca.
There are many boats trips in Mallorca and it is difficult to say which is the best boat trip because it all depends on what you are looking for. Some of the best boat trips are from the port of Palma de Mallorca, where many boat and catamaran tours depart from. But there is also a great selection of boat trips from the neighbouring resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf. These are two very popular tourist destinations, so there are a great many boat trips and catamaran excursions on offer from Palma Nova, Magaluf, Santa Ponsa, Arenal and, of course, Palma itself.
If you are looking for a booze cruise, you are more likely to find this option from Magaluf and the port of Palma de Mallorca. The best booze cruises in Palma take place in the summer months, depending on Covid restrictions.
Some of the best boat trips in Palma are not necessarily the more expensive catamaran tours with food and drink included, but there is a surprising selection of great value for money boat trips in Palma, such as the one-hour tour from Palma Port around the enormous harbour to see the views of the city from the sea and to sail around the amazing yachts and huge cruise ships. Or the full day boat trip in Palma Bay with stops for swimming, snorkelling and lunch. Lunch is paella, and drinks are included too. Another excellent value for money boat trip in Palma is the boat trip that takes you along the southwest coast towards Andratx. Food is included too.
If you are looking for something more exclusive, perhaps you would prefer to hire a boat with skipper and crew just for your own family for a private rental. With this option you have more freedom to go where you want, stop for swimming when you want or ask your captain to take you to special coves away from the crowds.
There are many options for private boat hire in Mallorca and they vary from the wooden fishing boat in Puerto Pollensa, to glamorous sailing boats or catamarans departing from all over the island. The private boat rentals tend to be smaller than the boats used on big-group tours and normally have a capacity of between eight and 12 passengers.
If you hire a boat in Mallorca, always check what is included in the price. On our page we have the duration, price and details very clear: normally you can expect a full-day or half-day boat hire, departing from one of Mallorca’s harbours, be it the port of Palma, Palma Nova, Arenal, Alcudia or Puerto Pollensa. Each option will specify what is included: skipper and crew, fuel, visit to coves or beaches, use of snorkel, stand-up paddle, kayak, fishing equipment… Also, if you have any questions about boat hire in Mallorca then you can send us a message via Whatsapp.
