Itinerary
Day 1
Private 8-hour sailing experience from Palma harbour. Timings shown assume a 09:00 start; alternative start times (09:30, 13:30, 14:00) follow the same sequence shifted accordingly.
Meet at the harbour & board the yacht
Arrive at the meeting point in Palma harbour, meet your skipper and host, store luggage aboard, and receive a short safety briefing before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early to allow time for check-in and boarding.
- Bring a small bag with sun protection and swimwear; larger suitcases should be left at your hotel.
- If you have mobility concerns, inform the operator in advance for boarding assistance.
Coastal cruise toward the Bay of Palma
Leisurely sail out of the harbour into the Bay of Palma to enjoy coastal views and a relaxed start to the day. The skipper will choose the best cruising line for views and comfort.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear layered clothing — mornings can feel cooler on deck even in summer.
- Keep a camera handy for coastline and harbour views; secure straps are useful on a moving deck.
- If you get seasick easily, take medication before departure as recommended by your doctor.
Swim & snorkel stop at a sheltered cala
Anchor in a calm cala for swimming and snorkeling. Snorkel equipment and floats are provided; the skipper will choose a sheltered cove based on conditions (typical options near Palma include Cala Blava and similar bays).
Tips from local experts:
- Rinse off after swimming using the yacht's freshwater shower to protect skin and equipment.
- Use reef-safe sunscreen to protect the local marine environment.
- Store valuables in a dry bag while swimming; the crew can secure items onboard.
Home-cooked lunch & relaxation on board
Return to the yacht's cockpit or shaded saloon for a freshly prepared lunch and local tapas with an open bar. Time to relax, enjoy the view, and socialize.
Tips from local experts:
- Inform the crew of any dietary restrictions at booking or on arrival so they can accommodate where possible.
- Stay hydrated between alcoholic drinks — the crew provides soft drinks and water throughout the day.
- Ask the host for recommendations on local dishes served onboard to try regional flavors.
Paddleboard, floats and light activity
Try the paddleboard, enjoy floating gear, or relax on deck. The crew will supervise board launches and recoveries for safety.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear a life vest when using the paddleboard; crew will provide flotation aids if needed.
- Keep movements slow when boarding to avoid rocking the boat; crew will assist beginners.
- Protect electronics in waterproof cases while on the paddleboard or near the water.
Afternoon cruise back toward Palma harbour
Leisurely sail back to the harbour with time for photos and last views of the coastline. The skipper times the return to allow a calm and safe approach to the marina.
Tips from local experts:
- Use this time to dry off and change into comfortable clothes before disembarking.
- Keep an eye on personal items you brought ashore earlier; ask the crew to help gather them before arrival.
- If you prefer a quieter return, request a sheltered spot on deck away from sun or wind.
Return to port & disembark
Dock back at Palma harbour, disembark and collect any luggage. Crew will assist with a safe disembarkation and say farewell.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your meeting point on shore with the crew before disembarking if you need help finding transport.
- Check all personal belongings and camera memory cards before leaving the yacht.
- Tipping is at guests' discretion; have small change available if you plan to tip the crew.
