Leave the marina for a private half-day sail from Port d'Andratx to Dragonera: swim, snorkel, SUP and taste tapas on a small, personalized cruise along Mallorca's rugged southwest coast. Practical, scenic, and ideal for first-time sailors.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning at Port d'Andratx opens with the boat's bow cutting a glassy blue, the captain trimming sails as the town slips into the stern. The sea pulls you west toward Dragonera, a low, rocky island that breaks the horizon and dares you to trade shore for salt. Onboard, the rhythm is practical and relaxed: a short safety briefing, a cold drink, and the choice to paddle, snorkel, or simply lie on deck and watch cliffs pass.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Mallorca's sun is intense on deck; choose reef-safe SPF to protect both skin and the sea's Posidonia meadows.
Pack a waterproof bag
Protect phones, cameras and a spare layer—spray from the bow and wet swimsuits are likely after stops.
Arrive early and check in
Plan to be at the dock 15–30 minutes before departure for a fast safety briefing and boarding.
Consider seasickness prevention
If you're prone to motion sickness, take medication or try acupressure bands before boarding.
