Step aboard your own boat in Port de Sóller and spend the morning, afternoon or sunset exploring the Tramuntana coast with a skipper and guide just for your group. We will take you to clear-water bays that are easiest to reach by boat, with snorkel kit, snacks and drinks on board so you can swim, relax and take in the northwest Mallorca shoreline at your own pace.
The outing is a private coastal charter from Port de Sóller: your skipper and guide stay with the group, the route follows the day's sea, and the boat is not shared with anyone else. Morning, afternoon and sunset windows all last four hours, with time for a cliff-line cruise, a stop in a sheltered bay and as much or as little snorkelling as you want.
Snorkel kit, snacks and drinks are already on board, so the hours stay unhurried. West takes you towards Na Foradada and the Deià coastline; east works towards Sa Calobra and the Torrent de Pareis. Your skipper picks the kinder side for the wind and we only move on when the group is ready.
Port de Sóller sits in a deep, almost circular bay on Mallorca's northwest coast, with the tram and the harbour road running right along the water. We meet you beside the harbour, a short walk from the beach and the boat berths, so you can leave the car in town and be on the water without a long transfer. From the mouth of the bay the coastline turns immediately into the steep limestone of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of pine, cliff and hidden calas that most visitors only see from the road.
By boat you reach bays and caves that stay quiet even in high season, with clear Mediterranean water under the cliffs and little villages such as Deià appearing as you travel west. Eastwards the rock walls close in towards Sa Calobra and the Torrent de Pareis, a dramatic gorge that meets the sea in a small pebble cove. Sea conditions on this coast are usually kind through the season, which is why we can offer morning, afternoon and sunset windows and still keep the day flexible.
No diving or snorkelling qualification is needed. The boat, skipper and guide are for your group, and time in the water is optional. Anyone who is happy on a small motorboat, comfortable in the sun and able to move around the deck with care will be fine. Children are welcome when they are with adults who can look after them in the water and on board.
Guests who plan to snorkel should be able to swim in open water with a mask and fins, and should tell us beforehand about any medical condition that might affect time on the boat or in the sea. We fit the kit on the day and stay close in the water. The outing is weather dependent, so we will be honest if the sea is too rough for a comfortable run along the cliffs and will help you move to another departure when we can.
For more than thirty years we have welcomed divers and ocean lovers to our harbour base in Port de Sóller, on Mallorca's northwest coast. We are a five-star PADI dive centre, and the same crew that runs daily boat trips, guided dives and snorkel outings also looks after private days when you want the boat and crew to yourselves.
Safety, small groups and care for the marine environment sit behind every departure. Our skippers and instructors know the local reefs, caves and open water, kit is well maintained, and we treat hospitality as part of the day, not an extra. You'll find a team that still loves sharing the Mediterranean underwater world.
Meet us at Carrer de la Marina 30, Port de Sóller, 07108, beside the harbour. The address is a short walk from the beach and the tram stop in the port. If you are driving, follow signs into Port de Sóller and look for public parking near the waterfront before walking along Carrer de la Marina to number 30.
The charter is for your group only and the boat takes a maximum of eight people. That keeps the deck comfortable and means the skipper and guide are looking after one party rather than a mixed public trip.
If your group is smaller you still have the whole boat. Tell us the number of guests so we can have the right number of snorkel sets ready.
Morning, afternoon and sunset charters last four hours. Sunset is the later private departure, aimed at warmer light along the cliffs and a quieter run back into Port de Sóller.
Choose morning if you want an earlier start, afternoon if you prefer to leave after lunch, or sunset if you would rather be out as the coast starts to colour up. The meeting time is confirmed before you arrive.
You have a private boat, a skipper and a guide, plus snorkel equipment for everyone who wants to get in the water. Snacks and drinks are on board so you do not need to organise food before you arrive.
Restaurant meals ashore are not part of this charter. Bring a little extra if you like something specific, otherwise we keep you going with what is already on the boat.
No. Plenty of guests spend most of the time on deck, swimming without a mask or simply watching the cliffs. The snorkel kit is there so you can try a bay if the water looks inviting.
Your guide will stay with anyone who does go in, fit the mask and fins on the boat, and keep the group in a sheltered spot. If you would rather not get your hair wet, that is entirely fine.
We meet at the harbour in Port de Sóller, right beside the water. It is a short walk from the beach and the tram that runs down from Sóller town.
If you are driving, park in one of the public car parks near the waterfront and walk along the waterfront. We do not include transfers from hotels or from Palma, so please plan your own way to the port.
Wear swimwear under your clothes and pack a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. A light layer is useful on the way home when the boat is moving and the breeze picks up.
Bring any personal medication you might need. We supply the snorkel equipment, snacks and drinks, so you do not need to carry a cool box unless you have something specific you want on board.
Yes. Families and groups of friends take this as a private boat, and children are welcome when they are with adults who can look after them on deck and in the water. The eight-person cap keeps the outing small.
Tell us ages so we can have smaller kit ready if needed. We will talk through anything specific for younger children before the day.
This is a coastal boat trip, so we need a reasonable sea to run along the cliffs in comfort. If the forecast looks poor we will contact you and look at moving you to another departure when we can.
We would rather delay a trip than take a boat out in conditions that will not be enjoyable.
Yes, within what the sea allows. The west route works towards Na Foradada and the Deià coastline. The east route works towards Sa Calobra, Cala Tuent and the Torrent de Pareis.
Your skipper will talk it through at the harbour and may suggest the better side for the day's wind. If you have a favourite cove in mind, tell us so we can try to include it.
We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
