This one-hour speed boat experience combines fast coastal runs with sharp turns, sudden acceleration, and time to explore parts of the coastline not reached by slower boats. It’s designed for people who want an active, high-energy way to experience the Bay of Palma rather than a relaxed cruise.
Alongside the fast sections, the route includes time to slow down and stop for snorkelling in coastal caves, giving a mix of pace and exploration within a short timeframe.
After meeting at Playa del Arenal, guests board a high-powered speed boat and head out into the Bay of Palma. The ride focuses on acceleration, tight turns, and bursts of speed, using the open water to deliver a dynamic experience rather than steady cruising.
Between high-speed sections, the boat slows to explore coastal areas and caves that are difficult to access by larger vessels. When conditions allow, the group stops for snorkelling, giving time to enter the water and explore nearshore areas before continuing the route.
The skipper adapts the pace and route based on sea conditions and group comfort, ensuring the experience remains controlled while still delivering a fast, physical ride. Life jackets are worn throughout, and safety instructions are given before departure.
The tour operates in the Bay of Palma, where open stretches of water allow for speed while the nearby coastline offers access to caves and sheltered snorkelling spots. This combination makes the area well suited to short, high-powered excursions.
