Read the full experience

The catamaran slips away from Paseo Marítimo as Palma’s stone facades shrink and salt air widens around you. On deck, the sun flattens into the sea and conversations thin to the sounds of rigging and gulls. In five hours you’ll skim across turquoise coves, drop anchor in sheltered bays and step into clear water that dares you to swim out toward submerged rocks and schools of small fish.

Adventure tips

Arrive early for smooth boardingBoarding starts at 9:45am at Muelle Golondrina—arrive 15 minutes early to secure good seating and handle ticket checks.

Use reef-safe sunscreenThe boat anchors near Posidonia meadows; choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine habitats and prevent fines in protected zones.

Bring swim shoesRocky coves and a swim ladder mean water shoes help with entering and exiting the sea safely and comfortably.

Prepare for motion and sunEven short crossings can sway—bring motion medicine if prone to seasickness and a hat for prolonged sun exposure.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and sensitive seagrass meadows common around Mallorca.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel: For swimming stops and drying off between dips.
Water shoes: Protects feet on rocky shore entries and helps on wet decks.
Light windbreaker or fleece: Evenings and open-water stretches can feel cool on the return leg.
