Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran
Set sail from Calas de Mallorca on the Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran for two- or four-hour trips that reveal secluded beaches, sea caves like the famous Cueva del Pirata, and crystal-clear swimming spots along Mallorca’s eastern coast.
Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran operates from Cala Bona in the Illes Balears, offering a range of boat excursions along Mallorca’s east coast. The company runs glass-bottom cruises, speedboat trips and shuttle services connecting Cala Bona, Cala Millor, Porto Cristo, Cala Ratjada and nearby coves. Typical experiences include the 3.5-hour GLASSBOTTOM cruise from Cala Bona with swims at Cala Varques, shorter 2–2.5 hour routes to Porto Cristo, and multiple departures from Calas de Mallorca and Sa Coma. Trips often feature visits to the Cuevas de Artà, sea caves, rocky cliffs and swimming stops in clear Mediterranean waters.
Vessels include the glass-bottom Moonfish and speedboats adapted for coastal sightseeing; schedules list morning and afternoon options and select express shuttles between popular ports. Safety procedures follow local maritime regulations with crew-led briefings before departure. Reservations are available for single trips, combined cave-and-boat tickets, and shuttle transfers to popular resorts.
Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran emphasizes transparency in schedules and routes, publishing departure points, durations and itinerary highlights for each excursion. The operator serves daily routes across the tourist season and coordinates weather-dependent swim stops and cave visits. For travelers seeking coastal exploration, snorkeling opportunities, and easy transfers between Cala Bona, Cala Millor, Porto Cristo and Cala Ratjada, Moonfish provides targeted options that match varied timeframes and interests.
Tickets are available online and at dockside; itineraries specify swim stops, cave visits and exact transfer points. Routes include Cala Morlanda, the Cueva del Pirata and scenic stretches near the Costa de los Pinos, depending on chosen excursion seasonally.
