Private Full Day Cruise on Speed Boat

The appeal here is seeing Mallorca from the water, with a private speedboat that can get into coves and coastal corners that are harder to appreciate from shore. The day runs from Cala d’Or along the island’s southern and southeastern coast, with time at several well-known bays and the harbor town of Portocolom.

I like two things especially: your group has the boat to itself, and the included snorkel gear and stand-up paddleboard give you ways to enjoy time at anchor beyond simply admiring the view. The crew can also add local context; past outings have included captains and hosts named Kyriakos, Christina, Adonis, and Argy, though the crew on your date may differ.

The main consideration is the price: $1,878.42 for up to eight people, with a fuel surcharge extra. It can be good value for a full private day shared by a larger group, but it is a steep outlay for two. The listed stops also add up to about six hours, so ask the operator how the full eight-hour day is paced.

A private day on Mallorca’s southern coast

This is a full-day boat charter, not a quick transfer between beaches. You meet at Port Esportiu Marina de Cala d’Or at 10 am, then spend the day tracing a stretch of coast known for rocky shores, coves, and small harbor towns. The tour is private, so you do not need to share the boat with a larger group or follow other people’s pace.

That private format matters most when your group wants a mix of swimming, sightseeing, and downtime. You can talk with your crew about the places you hope to see, though the precise amount of flexibility is not specified. The route names five coastal stops, but weather and sea conditions can affect boating plans.

The speedboat is described in one account as small enough to navigate into coves while still being comfortable. That balance is useful: a smaller boat can bring you closer to the coast, while onboard amenities make an eight-hour outing more pleasant than a bare-bones ride. Do not assume the exact vessel will be the same every time; one trip was on a boat called Grecale, but the boat assignment is not guaranteed.

From Cala Figuera to the southern coves

The first listed stop is Cala Figuera, with two hours scheduled. The area is known for a rugged shoreline and views of an unspoiled village. Approaching from the sea gives you a different perspective from a roadside visit: the coastline itself becomes part of the day, not just a backdrop between beaches.

Two hours is the longest listed stop, so this is where you may have the most time to settle in and enjoy the coast. The description does not say whether you go ashore, so treat it as time around the area by boat unless the operator confirms otherwise. If village streets or a sit-down meal are a priority, ask about the plan before booking.

Cala Llombards follows, with one hour allocated. The appeal is a relaxed look at the southern coast, with a chance to enjoy the bay from the water. The schedule gives you less time here than at Cala Figuera, so think of it as one part of a varied route rather than a long beach stop.

Caló des Moro is also listed for one hour. Its reputation for striking natural scenery makes it a natural highlight for photos and a swim, if conditions and the crew’s plan allow. The cove is a popular name on Mallorca’s coast, and the boat offers a way to appreciate its setting without making the whole day about one destination. Do not count on being alone there; the tour information does not promise secluded or crowd-free stops.

Portocolom and Cala Marçal

After the coves, the route heads to Portocolom, a southeastern harbor town with a fishing tradition and a quieter feel than a resort strip. From the boat, you can take in the harbor and its maritime character. One hour is listed here, enough to break up the swim-and-scenery rhythm with a different kind of coastal stop.

The crew can add value at this point. Past outings have included hosts who explained the ports along the coast and offered suggestions for later island sightseeing. That sort of conversation can help you put the route in context, but the specific crew and what they share will vary. Names associated with past trips include Kyriakos, Christina, Adonis, Argy, Dimitri, Giota, Evita, and Dimitris.

Cala Marçal, near Portocolom, is the final full stop, also listed for one hour. It is described as a popular yet tranquil beach with calm water and attractive scenery. The contrast between a harbor town and a beach cove gives the afternoon some variety, although the itinerary does not specify exactly how much time will be spent swimming versus cruising.

The return is to Marina de Cala d’Or, where the tour ends. The schedule lists two minutes for the return stop, which simply marks the finish rather than a meaningful visit. With an advertised duration of about eight hours and a 10 am start, plan for a full day, but confirm the expected return time with the operator.

What is included, and what you may want to clarify

The practical inclusions are strong for a day on the water. You get bottled water, soft drinks, beer, wine, and prosecco, plus granola bars and chips. Fresh towels, snorkelling equipment, and a SUP board are provided, so you do not need to pack those specific items.

There is also a restroom on board, which matters on an outing of this length, along with WiFi and a Bluetooth speaker. WiFi can be useful for basic connectivity, but do not rely on it as your only way to stay online. The listed provisions are snacks rather than a full meal, so ask about food arrangements if you expect lunch to be included. A past trip included food delivered to the boat, but that is not part of the stated inclusions here.

The key extra cost is fuel. The amount of the fuel surcharge is not provided, so ask for the total before you commit. All other fees and taxes are listed as included.

Is $1,878.42 good value?

For one group, the price is $1,878.42 for up to eight people. At full capacity, that works out to about $235 per person before the fuel surcharge. With four people, it is about $470 each; with two, about $939 each. The math makes the choice plain: this charter becomes much easier to justify when shared by a larger group.

What you are paying for is privacy, a full day with a captain and crew, a route covering several coastal places, and equipment and drinks on board. You are not paying only for transport from one cove to another. If your group values swimming, time on the water, and the freedom of a private outing, the price may compare well with other private charters. If you mainly want a short boat ride or a beach day, it is likely more than you need.

The inclusion of a SUP board and snorkel kit adds useful options, but the day’s value still depends on conditions and how much you enjoy being at sea. Consider your group’s appetite for a long boat outing before focusing only on the per-person cost.

Who will enjoy this cruise most?

I would put this high on the list for families, couples travelling together, or a group of friends who want a private day rather than a shared excursion. The boat’s water gear gives children and adults something to do at stops, and the crew’s attentive service has been a particular strength on past trips. One family’s children even came away imagining themselves as future skippers.

It also suits people who want to see the coast without organizing several separate beach visits. The route links coves with Portocolom, and the crew can provide conversation and coastal context along the way. If you are visiting Mallorca for the first time, seeing the south from the water can be a useful complement to exploring by car.

This is less suitable if you have mobility difficulties. The activity is not recommended for people with mobility issues, and a boat day naturally involves getting aboard and moving around a vessel. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate, but check any specific access needs with the operator before booking.

Booking details worth checking

The meeting point is Port Esportiu Marina de Cala d’Or, Puerto Deportivo, s/n, 07660 Cala d’Or. The start time is 10 am, and the trip ends back at the same meeting point. It is offered in English and uses a mobile ticket.

The tour depends on good weather. If poor weather cancels the outing, you will be offered another date or a full refund. You can also cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time; changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted. Confirm the fuel surcharge and meal arrangements in advance, and let the operator know if you have any mobility or other practical concerns.

Should you book this private speedboat day?

Book it if you have a group of several people, want a full day on the water, and value a private route with swimming gear and drinks included. The strongest reasons to go are the chance to see a varied stretch of Mallorca’s coast and the attentive crew service associated with past trips.

Think twice if you are travelling as a pair, watching your budget, or hoping for a guaranteed secluded cove, a full lunch, or a particular captain. Ask about fuel, food, the day’s timing, and crew availability before paying. With those points clear, this is a compelling way to make the coastline the main event of your Mallorca day.
