Full Day Cruise on Sailing Boat in Mallorca

The best Mallorca days happen offshore. This private sailing trip gives your group a full eight hours along the island’s southern coast, with time for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and quiet coves rather than a rushed harbor loop. I like the private boat for up to nine people and the generous supply of drinks, towels, equipment, and snacks. The main consideration is price: at $1,730.19 per group, it offers better value when shared by a larger party.

I also like the chance to shape the day around three striking coastal stops: Cala Figuera, Cala Llombards, and Calo des Moro. The crew names that come up most often are Vaso, Argy, Evan, Dimitris, and Martina, with special praise for their warm, attentive service. Just remember that lunch at a restaurant is not included, even though one party arranged seafood delivered from Porto Petro.

Key points to know before you book

• A private eight-hour cruise: Your group has the boat to itself, with room for up to nine people.
• Three southern Mallorca coves: The route includes Cala Figuera, Cala Llombards, and Calo des Moro, with about two hours assigned to each stop.
• Strong water-sports setup: Snorkeling gear and a stand-up paddleboard are included, along with fresh towels.
• Drinks are covered: Water, coffee, tea, soft drinks, beer, wine, and prosecco are provided.
• A full-service boat: You have a restroom, WiFi, Bluetooth speaker, and snacks such as fruit salad and chips.
• Weather matters: Poor conditions can lead to a different date or a full refund, and the tour is not recommended for people with mobility difficulties.

Setting out from Portopetro at 10 a.m.

Your day begins at 10 a.m. in Portopetro, at the 07691 meeting point in Mallorca’s Balearic Islands. The cruise ends back at the same meeting point, so you do not need to arrange a second pickup location.

This is a private activity. That matters more than it may sound. You are not sharing the boat with a large crowd, and your group can spend more time swimming, sitting in the sun, using the paddleboard, or simply enjoying the ride. A family can keep the pace gentle. A group of friends can make better use of the speaker and drinks. Couples can avoid the forced social rhythm of a standard day cruise.

The tour is offered in English, and confirmation arrives when you book. Since it is commonly reserved well ahead of time, around 45 days in advance on average, I would not leave it until the last minute if your Mallorca dates are fixed.

The boat has a restroom, which is a practical comfort during an eight-hour outing. WiFi is also available, though your phone may be more useful for photos than for keeping up with messages. A wireless or Bluetooth speaker lets your group control the soundtrack, within reason and with consideration for the coast and crew.

The boat type deserves a small note of caution. The experience is described as a sailing boat cruise, while some comments refer to a catamaran or simply a ship. The supplied details do not give the boat model, cabin layout, or sailing specifications. If the exact vessel matters to you, ask Allinblusive Mallorca before booking.

Cala Figuera and the rugged southern shore

The first listed stop is Cala Figuera, with about two hours set aside. This part of southern Mallorca is known for rugged coastline, broad sea views, and nearby villages that have kept a calmer feel than the island’s bigger resort areas.

From the water, you get a different view than from a road or a beach path. Cliffs, inlets, and buildings reveal their shape more clearly, and the boat gives you time to look rather than simply snap a picture and move on. The stop is also a useful opening to the day because two hours allows room for a swim or a slower start, depending on the sea and the group.

The exact activity at each stop is not prescribed. You may find that one cove works better for swimming, another for photographs, and another for paddleboarding. The crew can help with the practical choices, but the final rhythm depends on weather and sea conditions.

Cala Figuera is not presented as a formal attraction with an admission gate. There is no entrance ticket to buy. You are paying for the boat, crew, time, equipment, and access to the coastline from the water.

Cala Llombards for clear water and snorkeling

The second stop is Cala Llombards, also scheduled for roughly two hours. It is a small, isolated beach surrounded by pine trees and low shrubs, with pale sand and notably clear water.

This is likely the strongest stop for a classic swim and snorkel break. Snorkeling equipment is included, so you do not need to pack a mask and fins unless you have personal gear you strongly prefer. The water clarity makes it a natural place to spend time looking below the surface, though visibility can always change with conditions.

A stand-up paddleboard is also included. That gives you another way to enjoy the cove without turning the day into a formal water-sports lesson. You can paddle near the boat or shoreline if conditions allow, then return for a swim or a rest on deck.

The beach itself may look appealing, but your experience is from a boat unless the crew tells you otherwise. The supplied details do not promise a shore landing, beach chairs, or an organized walk. If stepping onto Cala Llombards is important to you, confirm that point before departure.

The two-hour allocation is generous, but it is not a guarantee that every minute will be spent at the beach. Boat routes can change with wind and sea conditions. I would treat the schedule as a useful outline rather than a rigid timetable.

Calo des Moro, Mallorca’s famous small cove

Calo des Moro is the third major stop, again with about two hours planned. It is one of the most photographed natural coves in this part of Mallorca, known for its narrow shape, clear water, and dramatic setting.

Arriving by boat gives you a particularly good way to see the cove. You avoid making the entire day about reaching a small beach on foot, and you get the pleasure of approaching from the open water. The setting is well suited to photos, a calm swim, or a long pause with a drink in hand.

Calo des Moro can be a better experience from offshore than from land if your main goal is the sea itself. The cove is small, and a boat-based visit lets you appreciate it without relying on a long beach stay. Still, the attraction of the place also means you should not expect complete solitude. Conditions and the number of boats in the area will affect the mood.

The tour description presents cruising through the cove as part of the experience, but it does not promise a specific anchoring point or shore access. Ask the crew about swimming conditions on the day. The captain may choose a nearby position that is safer or more comfortable than the exact spot you had in mind.

Returning through Marina de Cala d’Or

The final listed stop is Marina de Cala d’Or, where the boat returns after the coastal portion of the day. This section is given another two hours in the schedule, though it is best understood as the return portion rather than a separate sightseeing stop.

Cala d’Or gives the day a clear finish. After several hours around coves and open water, returning to a marina makes it easier to gather your belongings, dry off, and use the boat’s facilities before disembarking at Portopetro.

Because the experience lasts about eight hours, you should plan your day around it rather than trying to add a major attraction afterward. A 10 a.m. start puts you back around early evening, depending on the exact route and conditions. Bring anything you need for a full day in the sun, especially swimwear, sun protection, and a light layer for the ride back.

Fresh towels are provided, which saves space in your bag. Bottled water is included as well, and that is important on a long day outdoors. The boat also carries coffee, tea, soft drinks, beer, wine, and prosecco.

Food, drinks, and the missing lunch

The included refreshments make this feel more like a private day on the water than a basic transport service. You get fruit salad and chips, plus a broad drinks selection. That covers light snacking and makes it easy to stay aboard between swims.

Lunch at a local restaurant is not included. This is the biggest food detail to settle before you go. You should not assume that the fruit salad and chips amount to a full meal, especially if you are traveling with children or plan to spend eight active hours in the sun.

One group arranged a seafood-focused lunch from a local restaurant in Porto Petro and had it delivered to the sailboat. That shows a possible way to handle lunch, but it is not part of the stated package. If you want a similar arrangement, ask Allinblusive Mallorca about the current options, cost, timing, and whether restaurant delivery can be made to the boat.

A private cruise gives you more freedom than a shared excursion, but it also means you should make the food plan yourself. For some groups, drinks and snacks are enough. For others, arranging lunch in advance will make the day much easier.

What the crew adds to the day

The strongest praise is directed at the crew. Vaso and Argy are repeatedly singled out for being welcoming, attentive, and fun, while Evan, Dimitris, and Martina are also named in positive accounts. The crew is described as checking on the group often, answering questions, helping with equipment, and creating a relaxed mood.

That service matters on a private cruise because the crew shapes the entire tone. A boat can be beautiful, but the day depends on whether you feel comfortable asking for help, changing activities, or taking a quieter break. Here, the crew appears to be a major part of the value.

One family particularly appreciated being allowed to learn about sailing, giving their children a chance to share in the experience rather than simply sitting as passengers. The exact amount of hands-on sailing offered is not guaranteed, so you should ask if learning basic sailing is important to your group.

The comments also praise the women captains, with particular warmth for Vaso and Argy. That is a useful detail for anyone who values a welcoming, professional crew rather than a purely functional boat transfer.

Is $1,730.19 good value for nine people?

The price is $1,730.19 per group, with a maximum of nine people. At the full capacity, that works out to about $192 per person. For a couple, the same price becomes expensive quickly. For a family or group of friends filling most of the places, the calculation looks much better.

You are paying for eight hours, a private boat, fuel, crew, snacks, drinks, towels, snorkeling gear, a paddleboard, taxes, WiFi, and a restroom. You are also paying for the ability to avoid a crowded group schedule and choose how much time to spend swimming or relaxing.

The package is not all-inclusive in the resort sense. Lunch is extra, and the listing does not specify the boat’s exact size, cabin facilities, sailing speed, or whether every part of the route is under sail. Those gaps do not make the price poor, but they are good reasons to ask clear questions before committing.

I see the best value for groups of six to nine people who want a private day and will actually use the water equipment. If you only want a short scenic cruise, the eight-hour format may be more than you need.

Practical details for comfort and access

Most people can take part, and service animals are allowed. The meeting point is near public transportation, which helps if you are staying nearby, although the supplied information does not specify the exact bus or train connection.

The activity is not recommended for people with mobility difficulties. A boat, marina, boarding process, wet equipment, and movement on deck can all create challenges. Ask the provider about boarding and seating if anyone in your group has limited mobility.

The tour requires good weather. If poor weather causes cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time, based on local time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund.

Pack light, but bring swimwear, sun protection, and a dry change of clothes. The boat provides towels, water, and equipment, so there is no need to carry bulky beach gear.

Who should book this sailing day?

I would choose this trip for a group celebrating a special occasion, a family that wants privacy, or friends who plan to spend most of the day in the water. It is also a good fit if you care more about coves and swimming than about museums, shops, or inland sightseeing.

The cruise is less suitable for a small group on a tight budget. Two people would shoulder the full private-boat price, and lunch still costs extra. It is also not the right choice if someone in your party has serious mobility limitations or dislikes being on the water for a full day.

Should you book it?

Book this Mallorca sailing cruise if you can fill much of the nine-person capacity and want a relaxed private day among southern Mallorca’s coves. The combination of Cala Figuera, Cala Llombards, and Calo des Moro gives you variety, while the included drinks, towels, snorkeling equipment, and paddleboard reduce the usual extra costs.

Before paying, confirm the exact boat, lunch arrangements, shore access, and how the crew handles the route in changing weather. If those details suit your group, this is a strong choice for a special day at sea, with the crew’s friendly service likely to be just as important as the scenery.
