Full Day Cruise on Sailing Boat in Mallorca

Mallorca’s southern coves are the main event here: you get a full day on the water, with planned stops at Cala Figuera, Cala Llombards and Calo des Moro. Instead of trying to reach each spot by road, you see the coast from a private sailing boat and can spend time swimming, snorkelling or simply resting aboard.

I like two things in particular: the small private group, which gives your party room to set the pace, and the practical extras, from snorkelling equipment and a SUP board to towels and drinks. Crew members including Vaso, Argy and Evan have been praised for their attentive service, though the crew on your date may differ.

The main consideration is the price: $1,730.19 is a substantial outlay unless you can share it with a larger group. Lunch is not included, and the exact boat and boarding arrangements are worth confirming, since the trip is described as a sailing boat while some accounts call it a catamaran.

At a glance

• Three southern-coast stops: Cala Figuera, Cala Llombards and Calo des Moro are the focus of the day.
• Private for up to nine: You share the boat only with your own group.
• Eight hours on the water: The listed start time is 10:00 am, with the tour returning to its meeting point.
• Swim-ready extras: Snorkelling equipment, a SUP board, fresh towels and a restroom are provided.
• Drinks and light snacks included: Expect fruit salad, chips, bottled water, coffee or tea, soft drinks, beer, wine and prosecco.
• Plan separately for lunch: A local restaurant meal is not included in the price.

A private day along Mallorca’s southern shore

This is not a quick sightseeing loop. The tour is designed as a full eight-hour outing, giving you time to move between coves and linger on the water. You can swim, snorkel, use the stand-up paddleboard or take a quiet break on deck while the coast passes by.

The private format matters. You are not sharing the boat with a mixed group, so the day is better suited to families or friends who want time together than to solo visitors looking for a low-cost excursion. The maximum is nine people, and the price is charged per group rather than per person.

The stated group price is $1,730.19. If all nine places are filled, that works out to about $192 per person. With four people, it is about $433 each, so the value depends heavily on how many people are splitting the bill. For a large group, the private boat, crew and included equipment can make the cost easier to justify. For a couple or small party, it is a premium way to spend a day at sea.

Cala Figuera, a rugged first look at the coast

Cala Figuera is the first planned stop, with two hours allocated. The southern coast here is described for its rugged shoreline and sea views, alongside picturesque villages. From the boat, the pleasure is in seeing the coast open up rather than rushing through a list of landmarks.

The stop is listed as free, so there is no separate admission charge. What is not specified is whether you will go ashore, how much of the time is spent cruising, or whether the boat anchors at a particular point. If a shore visit is important to you, ask the operator how this stop usually works before booking.

Two hours is a generous block in a day built around several locations. It can allow room to enjoy the setting without treating the boat as a taxi, though the precise schedule may shift with conditions and the crew’s route.

Cala Llombards, clear water and time to snorkel

The next stop, Cala Llombards, is described as a sheltered beach ringed by pine trees and shrubs, with pale sand and clear water. It is the most obvious match for a swim-and-snorkel break, and the tour includes snorkelling equipment so you do not need to bring your own.

A SUP board is included as well. That gives your group another way to enjoy a calm spell on the water, though its use will naturally depend on conditions and crew guidance. Fresh towels are provided, a small but welcome detail after swimming.

The beach’s appeal is also its possible limitation: a cove can feel less secluded when other people are around. The tour gives you the advantage of approaching from the sea, but it cannot promise that a popular spot will be quiet. Bring sun protection and any personal swim gear you prefer, and pace yourself rather than assuming every stop needs to be spent in the water.

Calo des Moro, best appreciated from the sea

Calo des Moro is the third named stop, with the route described as cruising through this striking cove. Its steep-edged coastal scenery and photo opportunities are a highlight, but the wording matters: cruising through does not guarantee that the boat will land you on the beach or that you can go ashore.

This distinction is useful when setting expectations. Calo des Moro is known here as a scenic sea stop, not a promised beach visit. You may get a close view from the water and a chance to enjoy the cove from aboard, but do not book on the assumption that you will step onto the sand.

The sea-based view can be a strong reason to choose this trip. You see the cove as part of a coastal route, rather than needing to organize a separate land visit. Keep your camera ready, but give yourself time to look up from it too.

The return to Cala d’Or and the day’s timing

The route ends back at Marina de Cala d’Or, while the meeting-point information gives the start as Portopetro and says the activity ends back at the meeting point. Those details do not line up perfectly on paper. Confirm the precise boarding and return locations with Allinblusive Mallorca before travel, especially if you are arranging transport or have a tight evening plan.

The tour starts at 10:00 am and lasts about eight hours. The itinerary assigns two hours to each of its four entries, including the return to Cala d’Or. Treat those blocks as a broad outline rather than a promise of exactly two hours at each cove: the final timing depends on the route and conditions.

The listing indicates that this experience is often booked about 45 days ahead. That is a useful planning signal if you have fixed holiday dates, particularly because the boat is private and your group needs to fill the booking rather than join an open departure.

What is included, and what you should bring

The onboard provisions are generous for a day out: fruit salad, chips, bottled water, coffee or tea, soft drinks, beer, wine and prosecco. There is also a restroom, Wi-Fi, a Bluetooth speaker, fresh towels, snorkelling equipment and a SUP board. Fees, taxes and fuel surcharge are included in the stated price.

These extras help keep the day simple. You do not have to pack snorkel gear or rely on finding refreshments between stops. Still, the included food is snacks, not lunch. A local restaurant meal is excluded, and one account describes seafood lunch from a Porto Petro restaurant being delivered to the boat. That sounds like a possible arrangement, not something guaranteed by the tour details, so ask the operator if you want to arrange a meal.

Bring swimwear, sun protection and any personal items you need for a long day outdoors. The tour is in English, and the ticket is mobile. The supplied information does not specify the exact boat layout, shade, or what happens if you have dietary needs, so check those points directly if they matter to your group.

The crew can shape the day

The human side of a private sailing trip matters as much as the route. Vaso and Argy have been singled out for being welcoming, attentive and relaxed, while Evan and other crew members have also been praised for helping families and responding to questions. One family account describes children learning to sail, but that should not be treated as a standard activity unless the crew confirms it for your trip.

The crew names are not guaranteed. Use them as an indication of the kind of service associated with the outing, not as a promise that a particular person will be aboard. What you can reasonably look for is a crew that checks in with your group and helps you make use of the equipment.

The boat itself is described as well maintained in one account, but the supplied details do not settle whether the vessel is a sailing boat or a catamaran. If the kind of boat matters to you, ask before paying. A sailing boat and a catamaran can offer different layouts and sensations, and the title alone does not answer the question.

Who gets the best value from this trip

This outing makes most sense for a group that wants a private day together and will use the swimming and onboard equipment. Families, couples travelling with friends, and small celebrations may value the freedom to relax without sharing the boat with strangers. The reported attentive crew service also makes it appealing if you want help rather than a bare boat rental.

It is less compelling if your main goal is a cheap coastal excursion, a guaranteed visit ashore at every cove, or a restaurant lunch included in the price. The cost is high for a small party, and the schedule’s stop descriptions do not spell out exactly where you disembark. People with mobility difficulties should take note: the activity is not recommended for them.

The tour needs good weather. If poor conditions cause a cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time; changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted.

Should you book this sailing day?

Book it if you have a group large enough to share the cost and want a relaxed day built around Mallorca’s southern coves, swimming and time on a private boat. The equipment, towels and drinks make the outing easier, and the crew’s attentive approach is a real part of its appeal.

Before booking, confirm the exact vessel, the Portopetro and Cala d’Or meeting details, and whether Calo des Moro is a viewing stop or includes any shore access. If those answers suit your plans, this is a strong choice for a special day at sea. If you are a small party watching your budget, or you mainly want a land visit and lunch, compare other options first.
