The eastern coastline of Mallorca reveals some of the Balearic Islands’ clearest waters and most dramatic marine landscapes, best accessed aboard the Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran. Departing from Calas de Mallorca, this boat offers two immersive journey options: a 2.5-hour ride to Porto Cristo or a 4-hour voyage extending to Cala Millor and back. Both excursions present a captivating blend of quiet beaches, hidden sea caves, and crystal-clear swimming spots that showcase the island’s limestone cliffs and Mediterranean palette.
The standout natural attraction on both trips is the legendary Cueva del Pirata, or Pirate’s Cave, a narrow cavern accessible only by water. Moonfish’s glass-bottom vessel allows passengers to peer into the vibrant underwater world as they gently cruise through these caves and along the rugged shoreline. The boat’s design blends adventure with comfort, creating a stable platform for pause-and-swim breaks in pristine bays such as Cala Varques, Cala Virgili, and Cala Romantica.
This unique experience is a rare window into Mallorca’s less crowded eastern beaches, where limestone cliffs rise sharply from turquoise waters and sea flora thrives beneath the surface. Visitors often spot local seabirds and marine life amid tranquil settings seldom visited by larger tour boats. Beyond the natural spectacle, the route traces centuries of coastal history, hinting at seafarers and smugglers linked to the caves.
Moonfish Glassbottom Catamaran's excursions shape a distinctive part of Mallorca’s outdoor adventure scene by combining accessible sea journeys, swimming interludes, and firsthand encounters with coastal geology. Whether you want a quick afternoon cruise or a longer day on the water, these trips deliver a refreshing mix of engaging landscapes and quiet solitude. For travelers seeking a hands-on connection with Mallorca’s shoreline, this is a standout way to spend time on the water and uncover hidden corners of the Mediterranean.
