Float along Mallorca’s southwest coast on a 4.5-hour small-group catamaran from Santa Ponsa. Swim, snorkel, paddleboard and enjoy homemade tapas while cruising calas and anchoring in sheltered bays.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips out of Santa Ponsa bay, the coast of southwest Mallorca sliding by in a succession of cliffs, pebble coves and pale-sand bays. Salted wind lifts the awning and the crew passes plates of warm, homemade tapas as guests trade sunbathing for a plunge into intensely blue water.
