Full Day Cruise on Sailing Boat in Mallorca

Mallorca’s southern coast is best seen from the water, and this private sailing day gives you time to linger at three beautiful coves instead of racing past them. You can swim, snorkel, use the SUP board, or simply stretch out with a drink while the crew handles the boat. Cala Llombards and Calo des Moro are the main visual treats.

I especially like two things here: the boat is reserved for your group of up to nine, and the package includes the gear and small comforts that make a full day at sea easier, from fresh towels and bottled water to WiFi and a restroom. The crew, including Argy, Vaso, Evan, Dimitris, and Martina on different departures, is also praised for being attentive and willing to help.

The main drawback is the price. At $1,730.19 per group, this is costly for a couple or small party, though the arithmetic looks better when nine people share it. Lunch at a local restaurant is not included, so you should clarify how and where you will eat before departure.

Key points to know before booking

• Three southern coves: Spend time at Cala Figuera, Cala Llombards, and Calo des Moro, with roughly two hours assigned to each stop.
• Private for up to nine: You share the sailing boat only with your own group, which gives you more control than a large day cruise.
• Swimming gear included: Snorkeling equipment, a stand-up paddleboard, towels, and onboard drinks are provided.
• A polished crew experience: Argy, Vaso, Evan, Dimitris, and Martina are among the crew members associated with different departures, with special praise for their care and local guidance.
• Lunch is extra: Fruit salad, chips, drinks, coffee, and tea are included, but a restaurant lunch is not.
• Weather matters: The cruise runs for about eight hours and can be moved or refunded if poor weather forces cancellation.

Setting out from Portopetro at 10 a.m.

The day begins at 10:00 a.m. in Portopetro, at the meeting point in the 07691 area. You return to the same meeting point at the end, so this is easy to fit into a stay based around Cala d’Or or the nearby southern coast.

The timing is sensible. A 10 a.m. departure gives you a full day on the water without requiring an early-morning start. You should still arrive ready to board, since the experience lasts about eight hours and the schedule leaves plenty of room for swimming and quiet time at each cove.

This is a private sailing experience, not a seat on a crowded sightseeing boat. Up to nine people can join your party, so the price needs to be judged as a group rate rather than an individual ticket. For nine people, the listed cost works out to about $192 per person. For four people, it is roughly $433 each, and for two, the price becomes a major splurge.

That group setup is especially useful for families or friends who want the day to feel personal. You are not sharing the boat with strangers, and the crew can focus on your group’s pace. If some people want to swim while others prefer to sit and talk, that is easier to manage on a private outing.

Cala Figuera opens the southern coast

The first stop is Cala Figuera, with about two hours scheduled here. This part of Mallorca is known for a rugged shoreline, clear sea views, and small coastal settlements that feel more unspoiled than the island’s busiest resort areas.

From the boat, the appeal is the view across the water and along the rocky coast. You get a chance to settle into the rhythm of the day before the more swim-focused stops arrive. Two hours is long enough to enjoy the setting without turning the first stop into a rushed photo break.

Cala Figuera is also a good point for taking in Mallorca’s southern character. The coastline here is less about a broad, developed beach and more about rock, sea, and village views. Bring a phone or camera if you like coastal photography, but remember that the strongest pictures will likely come from the boat itself, where you can frame the coves from offshore.

The listing describes admission as free, which means you are paying for the sailing experience rather than an entrance ticket at the stop. The real value here is access by water and the time to enjoy the coast at a relaxed pace.

Cala Llombards is the main swimming stop

Next comes Cala Llombards, where you have another two hours. This isolated beach is surrounded by pine trees and low shrubs, with pale sand and notably clear water. Of the three coastal stops, this is the one most clearly suited to snorkeling.

The included snorkeling equipment removes one common nuisance. You do not need to rent a mask and fins separately or pack bulky gear from home. The water clarity makes it a natural place to look below the surface, although the quality of any snorkeling depends on the day’s conditions.

The stand-up paddleboard is another welcome inclusion. You can use it for a quiet paddle around the cove, provided conditions and crew guidance allow it. If you would rather not get in the water, the two-hour stop still gives you time to enjoy the scenery, have a snack, and dry off on deck.

I like the generous stop length here. Many coastal cruises offer a short swim break, then push on just as you get comfortable. Two hours lets you swim, snorkel, try the SUP board, and still have time to relax.

The beach itself may feel more exposed during a busy summer day, even though the cruise reaches it by boat. The private vessel helps you enjoy the cove from the water, but you should not assume you will have the sand to yourself. Your best experience may come from staying aboard, swimming directly from the boat, and enjoying the view without needing to claim a patch of beach.

Calo des Moro delivers the picture-book cove

The third coastal stop is Calo des Moro, also scheduled for about two hours. This cove is one of Mallorca’s most famous scenic spots, with rocky edges, clear water, and a compact shape that looks especially good from offshore.

Arriving by sailing boat changes the feel of the visit. Instead of treating the cove only as a beach destination, you see how the rock walls meet the sea and how the water shifts in color around the shore. It is a strong place for photographs, a swim, or a quiet stretch on deck.

The cove can appeal to different kinds of holidaymakers. If you want an active day, this is another chance to swim and use the snorkeling equipment. If you are marking a birthday, anniversary, or family occasion, the setting gives the day a special backdrop without requiring a formal activity at every moment.

There is a practical point to keep in mind: the itinerary names the cove as a cruising and swimming destination, but it does not promise a particular anchoring spot, beach landing, or water condition. The crew will need to make decisions based on safety and the day at sea. That flexibility is normal for a boat outing, but it means you should think of the stops as planned areas rather than guaranteed access to every part of the cove.

Returning through Marina de Cala d’Or

The final stop is Marina de Cala d’Or, where the day winds down before you return to the meeting point. The schedule assigns about two hours here as well, although the practical focus is completing the return to Cala d’Or rather than adding another major beach visit.

After several hours of sun, salt water, and swimming, the marina provides a calmer finish. You can dry off, gather your belongings, and enjoy the last stretch of the cruise before disembarking back where you started.

This return arrangement matters if you have evening plans. The experience lasts approximately eight hours, so a 10 a.m. start generally places the finish around 6 p.m., subject to sailing conditions and the day’s exact timing. Do not schedule a tight dinner reservation immediately afterward unless you have allowed some extra time.

What comes aboard for the day

The package is designed to keep you on the boat for much of the day. Bottled water, coffee, tea, soft drinks, beers, wine, and prosecco are included, along with fruit salad and chips.

That is enough for light refreshment, but it is not a full lunch. A restaurant meal is specifically excluded. One cruise account describes seafood from a local restaurant being delivered by boat, but you should not treat that as part of the standard price. Ask Allinblusive Mallorca in advance if restaurant food can be arranged, and confirm the cost.

Fresh towels are a useful touch. You can swim more than once without carrying a wet towel around all day, and you have something ready when the breeze picks up. A restroom on board also makes the long duration more comfortable, especially for families.

The Bluetooth speaker lets your group add its own music, while WiFi is available on board. I would treat both as conveniences rather than the reason to book. At sea, the best part of the day is likely to be conversation, swimming, and the coastline, but it is nice to have music and connectivity when you want them.

All fees, taxes, and the fuel surcharge are included. That makes the quoted group price easier to understand, since you are less likely to face standard add-ons after booking. Lunch remains the main extra cost to plan for.

The crew can shape the whole day

The human side of a private boat trip matters as much as the coves. Argy and Vaso are repeatedly singled out for their warmth, attentiveness, and ability to make people feel comfortable. Evan, Dimitris, and Martina are also named as crew members on different departures.

You should not assume a specific pair will be assigned unless the operator confirms it. Still, the pattern is useful: this experience depends heavily on a crew that checks in with you, answers questions, helps with equipment, and adjusts the mood to suit your group.

The crew has also helped families learn some basic sailing during the day. That does not mean a formal sailing lesson is guaranteed, but you can ask whether participation in sailing the boat is possible when conditions and safety rules permit.

This is where private touring can earn its price. A standard group cruise follows a fixed script. A private crew has more room to respond to your interests, spend longer at a swim stop, or explain the coast as you go. You are still bound by weather, sea conditions, and the boat’s schedule, but the day should feel less mechanical.

Is $1,730.19 a fair price?

The price is high, but the group limit changes the calculation. At full capacity, nine people share a private boat, crew, fuel, equipment, drinks, snacks, towels, restroom, and eight hours of access. For a family group or a circle of friends, that can be reasonable compared with booking several smaller activities and paying separately for water equipment and refreshments.

For a couple, the value is harder to defend unless you specifically want a private boat and are celebrating something important. A small group of three or four should compare the total against other private sailing options in Mallorca before booking.

The strongest value comes from the combination of privacy and time. You are not paying only to see three coves. You are paying for a full day with a dedicated crew, a boat reserved for your party, and the freedom to spend real time in the water.

The weakest part of the value is the missing lunch. Light snacks and drinks help, but they will not replace a proper midday meal. If you want seafood or a restaurant lunch, arrange it ahead of time and add it to your budget.

Who will enjoy this Mallorca sailing day?

I would recommend this for groups that want a relaxed day with several ways to use the water. Swimmers and snorkelers will get the most from Cala Llombards and Calo des Moro, while families can split their time between the SUP board, swimming, music, snacks, and sitting on deck.

It also suits a special occasion. The private setting, prosecco, scenic coves, and attentive crew can make a birthday or anniversary feel personal without being overly formal.

This is less suitable if you want a cheap way to see Mallorca’s coast. It is also not recommended for people with mobility difficulties. The boat environment, swimming equipment, and boarding arrangements may be challenging, and the supplied information specifically advises against the experience for those with mobility limitations.

Service animals are allowed, and the meeting point is near public transportation. Most people can participate, but you should still contact the operator with any access needs before paying.

Weather, cancellation, and practical planning

This is a weather-dependent activity. If poor conditions cancel the cruise, you are offered another date or a full refund. That protection is important for a boat day, since wind and sea conditions can affect both comfort and safety.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made inside that period are not accepted for a refund, and the cut-off follows local Mallorca time.

The ticket is mobile, and confirmation is provided when you book. The activity is offered in English, so you should be able to communicate with the crew in that language.

Pack swimwear, sun protection, and a light layer for the ride back. The operator supplies towels, water, and snorkeling equipment, but the provided details do not state that sunscreen or personal clothing is included. Plan your food as well. Fruit and chips are useful between swims, but lunch needs separate attention.

Should you book this private cruise?

Book it if you have a group of friends or family members who will share the cost and want a full day built around swimming, coves, and personal service. The private format, long stops, and included water gear make it more than a quick sightseeing ride.

I would be cautious if you are traveling as a couple, watching your budget, or expecting lunch to be included. Confirm the crew, meal arrangements, and likely swimming plan before booking. For the right group, this is a polished way to see Mallorca’s southern coast at a slower pace, with enough time to enjoy the sea rather than merely photograph it.
