An In-Depth Look at the Mallorca Catamaran Experience

This four-hour tour, operated by Good Life experiences, combines sailing, leisure, and gourmet dining into one seamless adventure. From the moment you arrive at the marina of Palma, you’re greeted and checked in roughly 15 minutes before departure. The start point at Av. de Gabriel Roca, 35 on the sea side is easy to find, and the check-in process is straightforward—no long lines or confusing pickups.

Setting Sail from Palma’s Marina

The experience begins with a 45-minute sail from Palma’s marina, giving you a chance to get your bearings and enjoy the fresh sea breeze. We loved the way the boat glided smoothly over the water, with views of the city skyline gradually giving way to open sea. This initial leg is a great chance to snap some early photos of Palma’s vibrant harbor and the surrounding coastline.

Scenic Stops in the Bay of Palma

The itinerary includes multiple stops in the Bay of Palma, which is renowned for its calm, clear waters. The first anchor stop is in a paradisiacal cove where you’ll have around an hour to swim, snorkel, or paddleboard. The snorkeling gear is provided, and the water’s clarity makes it easy to spot small fish and underwater life. Reviewers mention that “the snorkeling was surprisingly good for a short trip,” and that the peaceful coves feel like private escapes.

Active Water Fun: Snorkeling and Paddle Surfing

One of the standout features is the stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, which cater to various activity levels. Some guests find the paddleboards easier than they expected, with many noting the calm waters make for a relaxing experience. The ability to hop on and off the boat, explore underwater, or lounge on the nets at the bow offers options for everyone.

For those concerned about safety or unfamiliar with paddle surfing, the crew is attentive and provides clear instructions. Expect the water to be inviting and warm, especially during the summer months, making even novice swimmers comfortable.
