Spend four hours sailing from Club de Mar into the bay of Palma: sail when the wind allows, anchor in crystal coves for snorkeling and paddleboarding, and enjoy local tapas and cava aboard. A balanced half‑day for swimmers and sightseers alike.

The boat slips free of the quay, sails catching the Tramuntana’s breath as Palma’s stone facades shrink behind you. Salt air drives across the deck; the captain points a course west and the harbor begins to open. After about 90 minutes of gliding along the coast you drop anchor in a cove where water goes from cobalt to glassy turquoise.
