This upgraded experience combines sailing past Cap Rocat, long swim stops, snorkelling, paddle boards, and a full barbecue in Cala Vella. 🚤 Key Details Duration: 5 hours Schedule: Morning 10:00–15:00 or Afternoon 15:30–20:30 Maximum passengers: 35 Start & end point: Port of Palma Stops: Cap Rocat and Cala Vella Food included: Snacks, barbecue meal, and dessert Drinks included: Soft drinks throughout, plus beer, wine, and sangria Minimum age: All ages welcome 🌊 What to Expect After boarding in the Port of Palma, the catamaran sails quietly out across Palma Bay, offering wide views back towards the city and the Cathedral from the sea. The first stop is off Cap Rocat, where you can take an initial swim and enjoy a generous selection of savoury snacks served on board while anchored. The cruise then continues south to Cala Vella, a sheltered cove known for clear, shallow water and good snorkelling conditions. Once anchored, there is ample time to swim, relax on deck, or use the included paddle boards and kayak. Snorkelling equipment and flotation aids are available, and the large floating mat makes it easy to spend extended time in the water. While anchored in Cala Vella, a barbecue is prepared on board and served alongside salads, bread, and drinks. Dessert follows before the return sail to Palma, crossing the bay at a relaxed pace. The skipper may adjust the exact route or anchoring points depending on weather and sea conditions, while keeping the overall structure of the trip the same. 📍 Location Boarding and disembarkation take place in the Port of Palma, from the dock used by tourist passenger ships and local traffic vessels, directly in front of the Auditorium on the Paseo Marítimo. The meeting point is central and well connected by taxi and 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 location after the excursion. ✅ Prerequisites No previous sailing experience is required. This experience is suitable for couples, families, and groups who want a more spacious and less crowded day on the water. Participants should be comfortable spending several hours on a boat and entering the water via ladder. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times, partic… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 5-hour small-group catamaran cruise Swim stop at Cap Rocat Extended stop at Cala Vella Assorted savoury snacks Barbecue meal with salads, bread, and sauces Dessert including cake and fruit Soft drinks, water, juice, and coffee throughout Beer, wine, and sangria during snacks and meal Snorkelling mask and snorkel Paddle board and kayak use Floating mat and swimming vests Crew and skipper ### What’s not included Coach transfer unless selected Snorkelling equipment deposit (€20, refundable) Personal towels and swimwear Payment on board by cash or American Express ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### What makes this different from a standard Palma Bay cruise? This option limits the number of passengers to a maximum of 35, creating more space on deck and in the water. It also includes extra equipment such as paddle boards and a kayak, plus a more extensive snack service. The pacing is slower at anchor, with longer stops designed to let guests swim, relax, and eat without feeling rushed. ### How long is the excursion and when does it depart? The cruise lasts approximately five hours. Morning departures run from 10:00 to 15:00, and afternoon departures from 15:30 to 20:30. Return times may vary slightly depending on sea conditions and final routing, but the total duration remains consistent. ### Where does the trip start and finish? Boarding and disembarkation are in the Port of Palma, at the dock for tourist and local passenger vessels in front of the Auditorium on the Paseo Marítimo. Clear boarding instructions are provided after booking to help you arrive on time. ### Is food included and can dietary needs be accommodated? Yes. The trip includes savoury snacks, a barbecue meal, and dessert. Vegetarian options are available if requested at the time of booking or at least 24 hours before departure. If you have other dietary requirements, it’s best to check availability in advance. ### Are drinks included throughout the trip? Soft drinks, water, juice, and coffee are available during the entire excursion. Beer, wine, and sangria are served with the snacks and during the barbecue meal. Reusable cups are used on board to reduce single-use waste. ### Do I need experience to use the paddle boards or kayak? No prior experience is required. The paddle boards and kayak are used in calm, sheltered water while anchored. Crew are on hand to assist with getting on and off the equipment and to offer basic guidance if needed. ### Is snorkelling equipment provided? Masks and snorkels are provided on board. A refundable deposit is required when collecting the equipment. You are welcome to bring your own snorkelling gear if you prefer. ### Is this suitable for children? Yes, children of all ages are welcome. Flotation vests are available, and the calm anchorage at Cala Vella is suitable for supervised swimming. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, particularly when using water equipment. ### What should I bring with me? Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, and any personal items you may need during the day. Boat-friendly footwear is recommended. A light layer can be useful outside peak summer months, especially during the return sail. ### What happens if weather conditions change? The skipper may adjust the route or anchoring points to ensure safety and comfort. Sailing is prioritised when conditions allow, with minimal engine use. If conditions require changes, the overall experience and duration are maintained as closely as possible. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cx7bwCmhMXUeSMHjvpJWeMv9JPTpFs-metaRnJlZWJpcmQgY2FsYSB2ZWxsYS5wbmc-.webp - **Gallery image count**: 8 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
