Details

Located on the southwestern coast of Mallorca, Spain, Santa Ponsa offers a rugged shoreline where turquoise waters meet sandstone cliffs carved by centuries of wind and wave. This stretch of the Mediterranean coast, within the municipality of Calvia, is a favored spot for adventurers drawn to both the vibrant marine life and the gently sloping beaches that transition to jagged coves. Siroco Boats & Jetski brings this coastal playground into sharp focus with their 3 Hour Private Boat Tour, a chance to navigate the sea independently while in expert hands.

This private boat experience at Santa Ponsa introduces visitors to a coastline peppered with hidden bays rarely accessible from the shore. Guests receive a full demonstration before setting off, empowering even novice boaters to pilot at their own pace. The boats come equipped with snorkeling gear, inviting travelers to plunge under the surface to inspect underwater rock formations and spot local marine species like colorful parrotfish or the elusive Mediterranean damselfish.

What sets Siroco Boats apart is the seamless blend of freedom and guidance, allowing a personalized adventure along Mallorca's signature cliffs and beaches without the constraints of group tours. The water here carries the warmth of the Balearic sun, and the coastline hides small caves and reefs rich with marine biodiversity — a playground for divers and snorkelers alike.

Santa Ponsa itself marries its tourist-friendly amenities with a scaled-back, authentic charm evident in seaside cafes and local fishing boats. A notable aspect is the Calvia area’s commitment to preserving its natural beauty, keeping waters clean and marine habitats intact.

Perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers seeking an intimate and flexible maritime journey, the 3 Hour Private Boat Tour offers a rare vantage point on Mallorca’s western shore. With clear Mediterranean skies overhead and a cool sea breeze, Siroco Boats & Jetski delivers an unforgettable day punctuated by sunlit waves, hidden coves, and the vibrant pulse of coastal life.
