Book at your own risk

Luciana_A, Jul 2025

I'm giving it 3 stars because it's hard to have a hard time sailing in Mallorca, plus we had a great group on the boat (3 groups of 2) but I'd recommend investing your money on another experience. We had Antonio as our skipper (as many have per the reviews) and while he wasn't outright rude, we felt like we were a bother by being there. There were snarky comments and side-eyed looks, some seemingly under the impression that only a couple of people spoke Spanish. The 2-drink limit apparently didn't apply only to alcohol, someone asked for a soft drink towards the end of the trip and got a no. I asked to use the clean water rinse when I came up for from a swim because I had seen someone else using it, but I was told that wasn't included in the tour. The snacks and pizza were just basic, nothing to write home about. As far as the overall tour goes, we never got any sort of briefing on what the itinerary was. We were never told how many stops we'd get, where we were on the island, or a heads up on timing at each spot/when we were about to leave. There were a couple of SUP boards I could see (they were never offered to be used, maybe bc it was a little windy?) and I asked for a noodle and was provided with the only one available on the boat, which was in rough shape. All in all, book at your own risk. Maybe you'll get a different skipper, maybe he'll be in a good mood but unfortunately so much of these experiences are dictated by the person running. Antonio was definitely not there to facilitate a good time or even a better understanding of his beautiful home island.

THE BEST tour ever

SuLTaN_S, Jun 2025

He is one of the best captains ever he knows the best places and he is very cool and respectful if i would ever come back to mallorca he would be my first choice 👍🏼

Unbelievably rude boat helm Tony

Jenny_K, Jul 2024

If we hadn’t witnessed with our own eyes, I don’t think we would have believed … Tony the “captrain” was hostile, aggressive, unbelievably rude, relentless in his pursuit for confrontation and actually his manner was frightening to the very well behaved children on board. It was fawlty towers without the humour We were three couples and one family of four Tony shouted at the family to get into the sea and then to get out. He continually complained wherever they sat that they were in the way, when they asked politely for a drink he just shouted “wait!” He was relentless in his bullying and when we all said enough, the mother was very upset and the father was trying desperately to comfort the children. he then shouted at us that we were all idiots and ungrateful and not appreciative of how hard he had to work and how important it was not to get salt water on the boat and how he had to clean everything before it could go it again and how he wasn’t being paid enough to do this and and and …… It made us all so uncomfortable to witness such bullying and aggressive behaviour and we didn’t know whether to intervene and object which only inflamed him when we did, or turn our heads in shame What an utterly horrible and quite traumatising experience Totally spoilt what should have been a delightful excursion

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Gracias por gastar su valioso tiempo en criticar su experiencia. La primera recomendación es que no beba tanto alcohol ya que la percepción de la realidad es diferente (nos plantearemos si dejar traer en el futuro). En el barco hay una sola norma de seguridad escrita por el propietario no entrar mojado. está escrita en su idioma y es un espacio de trabajo a respetar, si UD no respeta las normas no pida que se le trate tan delicadamente como se seguramente hizo con una sonrisa nunca se ha agredido a nadie y UD podría denunciar si fuera cierto por tanto miente. No menciona nada de la limpieza del barco, de los lugares bonitos que visitó, de la comida snaks servido con delicadeza y de cada paso de la ola que se hizo para su confort por no nombrar la navegación a vela. Alguna intentan contrariar para justificar y no dejar propina y alguna se pasa. Sinceramente la única norma que hay pues para que se va a cambiar? Afortunadamente hay mucha gente que acepta las normas de seguridad y son bienvenidos.

Great, recommend

Simon_N, Jul 2024

Great experience. The captain antonio was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had some nibbles and pizzas which were fine with some beers and wine. Snorkeling was okay. It was good to go sailing too as the wind was up and it was awesome we got a little bit of a tilt on!

Most horrible experience !!!!!

Amanat_S, Jul 2024

We had the most horrible experience with the boat skipper - he was rude and passive aggressive. He kept passing derogatory remarks to me and my friends (we were 4 girls) through out - when we said if we can move to a different location for better snorkelling views , he snapped at me and threw some bread in the sea to show me a swarm of fish that came for it and said “don’t play with me”. He said there was no fresh water for shower on the boat and when my polish friends remarked at another boat thinking they saw a polish flag he again remarked - “ that is not a polish flag , if you think it is why don’t go on your polish boat and take a shower”. He ruined our entire experience and it was definitely not worth the money we paid. PLEASE DO NOT GO ON THIS TOUR!!! Spare yourself this anguish and disappointment

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Gracias por gastar su tiempo en esta reseña. Lamentamos que su experiencia no fuera positiva, hemos recabado información y el capitán dijo que recuerda que ustedes les costaba aceptar las normas, que no pararon de beber en todo el trayecto y que intentaron transgredir las normas incluso tras advertir que no se ofrecía ducha abordo intentaron violentamente ducharse. Luego pudieron un reembolso tras haber disfrutado el recorrido, comido y por supuesto bebido todo lo que pudieron. Sobre la bandera polaca es un recurso fácil 200€ que se utiliza por algunos barcos privados que anteriormente pasaron por la belga para evitar inspecciones y seguridad, está explicación también les molestó. No beba tanto la resaca debió ser dura simplemente acepte las normas.

Fantastic day out

Lauren_M, Jul 2024

We had a brilliant time! Windy enough to go sailing however did mean we missed a swimming spot. Not a bother though, this was super relaxing and absolutely stunning. Would do this again in a heart beat!

Book this!

Meaghan_b, Jul 2024

We had the best time! Tony was amazing! The wine, snacks and pizza were delicious! Where they take you the water is crystal clear. Paddle boards and snorkeling equipment were and added bonus! Can’t recommend this and Tony enough!

Sunset on a sailboat

Beth_B, Oct 2023

There were 3 couples on this sunset cruise, it was wonderful, we went to 2 different spots to swim, snorkel and paddle board!

Peace with some fun in the sun and water

Joe_J, Sept 2023

We had an opportunity to...

Sofiya_H, Sept 2023

We had an opportunity to try paddle boarding. We also had snorkeling equipment. There was so much pizza(even more than enough for everyone)

Great few hours out

Jane_D, Jul 2023

Our Captain was very friendly & hospitable. The food especially the pizzas were delicious. We had snorkels, paddle boards & swim noodles to use.

Excellent Experience, Would Recommend

Amrita_R, Apr 2023

The skipper is a wonderful host, mad is feel so well taken care of. Shared a lot of knowledge about the region with us. Howdy from the desert!

The perfect Little boat Trip!

Mona_B, Aug 2022

We booked the Tour from 16-20 p.m. and we would highly recommend this! We were 10 peoples and it was enough space for everyone. The Captain was very nice - thankfully he was not an Animateur or Party-DJ - very kind and answered all our questions. We made two stops where we had enough time to swin, snorkle of use the SUP for free. During this time he offerd some snacks and baguettes and also drinks (alcoholcic and non-alcoholic). If you prefere a partyboad we would recommend some of the Other crowded Boats we saw during our trip. It was really a pleasure - nice people, nice captain, nice boat and perfect trip! Nothing to complain about!

A must!

Megan_R, Jul 2022

Being out on the water in Mallorca was a MUST. We enjoyed our experience so much. 4 hours was plenty of time. There were about 11 people on our trip. The captain did not let us sit in the benches in the shaded part of the boat which was the only thing I did not like about the trip. 4 hours is a long time to be out in the sun, especially if they don't let you reapply sunscreen on the boat. For 11 people to sit out on the padded section, it was a little crowded. Maybe the other captains let you sit in the shaded part. The food was great and the drinks as well. They brought you to two different coves which were gorgeous. The water was so blue and clear and incredible. You could swim through caves and snorkel. No one in our boat used the stand-up paddle but there were two boards available.

Relaxing sailing

Rebecca_H, Jul 2022

A lovely half day with snorkelling & paddle board, a peaceful sail, we got under sail which was lovely. We shared the boat with 2 other families only. The Captain was charming and straight forward. This is not a party boat it is a private small experience. Light lunch and cold drinks provided. Very lovely.

Extremely rude tour operator

Kristal_A, Jun 2022

The activity overall was fun bc of the people we met, however, the tour operator was extremely rude and made everyone uncomfortable. He had such a bad attitude that everyone in the boat 1 was talking about it and 2 we were are scared to say or ask anything. Also towards the end the boat rocked and a coke bottle, that was not mine fell out, and he saw me holding my coke bottle and proceeded to yell at me in front of everyone and was saying that he it was illegal what I did and that I was responsible for it. Which was ridiculous bc again I was literally drinking my coke. We all just looked at each other in disbelief bc we all clearly saw what happened. I would do this activity again with a better tour operator. Definitely needs a better attitude to do this job successfully

Highlight of the trip

MFrancisca_I, Jun 2022

Cruising of the Bay was a beautiful experience The captain was pleasant and attentive and made the afternoon very enjoyable . Highly recommended. 👍🏻

Very nice

Jules_H, Jun 2022

Lovely sailing across Palma bay to a lovely cove, time to jump in for a dip, and paddleboard, food and drink very nice, quite rough sailing back but no fault of the skipper Very nice trip

Amazing!

Carolyn_M, Apr 2022

This experience was amazing!!! The captain was beyond kind and great. We were able to stop in a cove and swim, and he made a fantastic lunch!! I would definitely do this again, we’ll worth the cost! Esta experiencia fue increíble!!! El capitán fue más que amable y genial. Pudimos parar en una cala y nadar, ¡y él hizo un almuerzo fantástico! Definitivamente volvería a hacer esto, ¡valdremos la pena el costo!

Lovely time

Vix, Sept 2021

A group of 8 went on the boat trip. Tony the captain was amazing and cooked us some lovely food. Highly recommend.

Amazing Experience!

Margot_D, Nov 2020

The whole experience was wonderful! Toni was so nice and accommodating, we had the whole boat to ourselves.

Great family day trip

Doug_G, Aug 2019

We had a great time sailing with Tony on our trip to Mallorca. He was an excellent captain -- knowledgeable about the island and a pleasure to chat with. He brought us to a few swimming spots where our kids (ages 8-11) could swim (masks and snorkels provided) and explore coastal caves. We enjoyed some tapas at one of our stops. Note: bring your own towels, and leave a bit of time for parking in the area near the marina if you are driving.

Authentic tour along Mallorca Coast with beautiful sights

Jasper_G, Aug 2019

Fantastic half day tour with only 8 people on board and several stops along the coast leaving time for swimming, exploring small caves and enjoying the sun. Will 100% book again!

Excellent Day

Hannah W, Jun 2019

Antonio offered to pick us up , but we opted to drive ourselves down to the dock. Antonio met us right at the entrance and walked us to the boat, Figaro, where we spent a lovely morning/early afternoon sailing the bay. Antonio even let us sail the boat/steer. The water was a little choppy so we weren't able to go to one of the coves, but we anchored in another and swam, snorkeled (with masks provided), and ate a lunch prepared by Antonio. He made little ham and cheese type sandwiches with traditional jamon iberico and a type of cheese from Menorca. There was tortilla espanola, crisps and beverages too. After our fill of food and swimming we went back to the dock. Highly recommend this trip if you are looking for a relaxing day/afternoon on the water!

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Thanks for your nice report.

Traumhafte Private Tour

Lars_I, May 2025

Es war eine traumhafte Tour, denn es hat nicht nur Kulinarik, Wetter und Drinks gepasst, sondern die Aufmerksamkeit unsere Skippers war herausragend - ganz lieben Dank an ihn. Du hast den letzten Tag mit einem perfekten Abschluss versüßt.

Bellissima!!!

MariaChiara_T, Oct 2023

Bellissima gita!!! Barca molto bella, pulita e comoda. Ottimo rapporto qualita’/prezzo. Le due tappe per nuotare erano in posti magnifici; davvero consigliata!!!
