This relaxed cruise combines sailing time, two long swim stops, snorkelling, and a freshly prepared barbecue on board. 🚤 Key Details Duration: 5 hours Schedule: Morning 10:00–15:00 or Afternoon 15:30–20:30 Start & end point: Port of Palma Stops: Cova Verda and Cala Vella Food included: Barbecue meal and dessert Drinks included: Soft drinks, water, coffee throughout; wine and sangria with the meal Minimum age: All ages welcome 🌊 What to Expect The day begins with boarding in the Port of Palma, directly on the promenade opposite the Auditorium. Once underway, the catamaran sails quietly across Palma Bay, passing the dramatic cliffs and fortifications of Cap Rocat before reaching the first swim stop at Cova Verda. You’ll have around 30 minutes here to swim and snorkel straight from the boat in clear coastal water. After re-boarding, the sail continues towards Cala Vella, a sheltered cove known for its light-coloured sand and shallow turquoise water. The catamaran anchors here for approximately two hours, giving plenty of time to swim, snorkel, relax on the bow nets, or enjoy the large floating mat in the water. Snorkelling equipment is available, and flotation aids are on board for both children and adults. Before leaving Cala Vella, lunch or dinner is served on board. The barbecue is prepared fresh and followed by dessert, with drinks available throughout. After a final swim stop, the return sail takes you back across Palma Bay to the harbour, arriving back at the original boarding point in the early afternoon or evening. Routes and timings may be adjusted by the skipper depending on weather and sea conditions. 📍 Location Boarding and disembarkation take place in the Port of Palma, at the dock for tourist passenger vessels located directly in front of the Auditorium on the Paseo Marítimo. The meeting point is central and easy to reach on foot, by taxi, or via public transport. Optional coach transfers are available from selected areas, with pick-ups between El Dorado and Palma, and from Camp de Mar towards Palma. Guests using the transfer service are returned to their original pick-up area after the cruise. ✅ Prerequisites No sailing experience is required, and the excursion is suitable for families, couples, and mixed-age groups. Participants should be comfortable spending several hours on a boat and entering the water via ladder for swimming and snorkell… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 5-hour sailing catamaran excursion Two swim and snorkelling stops Barbecue meal with salad, bread, and sauces Dessert including cake and fruit Soft drinks, water, juice, and coffee throughout Wine and sangria during the meal Snorkelling mask and snorkel (deposit required) Floating mat and swimming vests Crew and skipper ### What’s not included Coach transfer unless selected Snorkelling deposit (€10, refundable) Personal towels and swimwear Payment on board by cash or American Express ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### How long is the excursion and what time does it run?
