The boat owner Daniel gave us a very careful and clear instruction of the boat and he was very friendly. We enjoyed 4 hours of just between me and my husband on the sea. We anchored the boat and then jumped into the sea to swim a bit. When you enjoy the sunset hour, you feel tranauil. And you just need to arrive about 30 mins earlier than the time of start and the instruction is not included in you reservation period.

Captain for a day…

Zeev_Z, Aug 2025
It was great riding a boat on my own and stopping at different viewpoints to rest and snorkel. Easier than expected and wonderful experience.

Wonderful! Professional! Four hours was not enough. Carlos did a great orientation to the boat and provided us a SUPER HELPFUL map - a link we could pull up on our phones. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you so much! 😊 We're thrilled you had such a wonderful time. Carlos will be happy to hear your kind words — and we’re glad the orientation and map made your trip even easier. Four hours really does fly by on the water — we’d love to welcome you back for a longer adventure next time!

Great experience

Great way to explore Mallorca!

vanessan032793, Aug 2024
Had an amazing experience here! The guide was very clear with instructions and despite having no experience driving a boat before, my husband was able to drive the boat seamlessly and navigate to all of the recommended areas. We took our own food and ate out on the water. On one of the stops, we were able to snorkel and swim alongside a whole school of fish. Would definitely recommend - this was a great way to explore Mallorca!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such an amazing experience and that your husband felt confident behind the wheel, even without prior boating experience – that’s exactly what we hope for! It sounds like you made the most of your trip with a beautiful stop to snorkel and a lovely meal out on the water. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are so happy we could be part of your Mallorca adventure. Hope to see you again soon!

Perfect!

Paul_P, Aug 2024
The operator was extremely helpful and made us feel very comfortable since it was our first time renting a boat. We were given a nice optional route to take with all the key information clearly highlighted. The views from the boat were incredible and it was a very fun experience overall! Would definitely recommend :)

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear that you felt comfortable and supported, especially for your first time renting a boat.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you so much for your great review! Amazing you had such a positive experience with our boats! Hoping to welcome you on board again soon!

Would book again!

Meg_O, Jun 2024
Daniel was wonderful to work with! So communicative and kind. We loved our time on this boat. He told us the best cove- Snorkeling and swimming with fish. Driving around the coastline. It is not a fast boat, but it’s efficient and safe!!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for your positive feedback! We are happy you had a good time and looking forward to see you soon back on our boats!

DO IT!!!

Wendy_S, May 2024
Amazing experience!!! So easy, a quick, seamless. The best why to explore the island! So so so happy we booked this.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Wow, thank you so much for your amazing review! We are very happy you had a great experience and looking forward to see you soon on board!

Good experience for new boaters

Brody_H, May 2024
The people were very nice and easy to work with. What we didn’t realize was that it was going to be a 15 horsepower boat with a very limited area we could go. They mentioned that we could book regular boats and motors through their main website and needed an international boating license, which I had but was too late to change. Would be a great experience for people without boating experience.

Fantastic Day

Eddie_A, Apr 2024
Can’t say enough about our private rental. I’ve never manned a boat prior to this day but our host was very professional and thorough helping us understand the boat, rules and where to go. I highly recommend making this part of your Mallorca trip!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you very much for your recommendation. We are glad you enjoyed the first time taking a boat out by yourself in Mallorca with us.

Highlight of our trip

Janiece_C, Apr 2024
We had a great time and driving the boat was easy. The only thing I didn't like is that the €150 deposit wasn't made clear before booking and I did email to ask if there was a deposit and didn't receive an answer. This was later communicated the day before the activity. I suggest booking 3hrs minimum we booked 2 and could have done with more time.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi Janiece, thanks a lot for the great review. We are glad you had a great excursion. I am sorry to hear you werent aware about the deposit of 150e, which we ask for before leaving with the boat and pay back after the excursion. We mention it in all of our communications. We havent received any mail. If you emailed the TripAdvisor/Viator customer service I am sorry if they havent replied. Have a good day and enjoy Mallorca.

Nice emotions.

Aleksandrs_M, Sep 2023
If you want to be a captain just do it. Easy to operate for everyone. Anchor and relax in beautiful places.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We are very happy you had a great experience as a captain on one of our boats! thank you for your review!

Perfect

Stephanie_S, Aug 2023
Anchoring up and all the fish that swam around Where we could get off and go in the sea . Beautiful views

Best way to experience Mallorca

Ellie_D, Jul 2023
We had the best day in Mallorca! The boat was comfortable for our family of 4, and it was amazing to see the rock formations and multi-million dollar yachts up close. Communication was top-notch & they went over everything with us so that we’d be comfortable. Prepare to go slow, the engine is small so that it’s able to be license-free, but the 4 hours gave us plenty of time to see and do everything we wanted to, while returning to our ship on time.

Read the fine print!

michael_m, Oct 2022
Read the fine print! No snorkel equipment UNLESS requested PRIOR to getting on the boat. Only 15 HP motor (hence the “no license”) so takes 1/2 hour to get anywhere, so glad to have done the 3 hour tour. iPhone GPS only map unless you have cell access so no what’s app access to staff. Great staff and beautiful trip though - would definitely do it again, just be prepped with those tips

10/10 highly recommend!

Cassie_M, Sep 2022
Amazing time! Gives you the freedom to explore different parts of the coast, and a map is given to you with recommended spots for swimming! Sooo fun!

Fun family day on the sea

Daniel_D, Jul 2022
Great day out with the family. Friendly reception, and very fun thing to do while visiting Mallorca.

Great experience of sailing with family

Sabyasachi_G, Jul 2022
It was a great experience for the whole family including kids. The boat was just perfect for a small family of 3-4. Daniel and Carlos were of great help. They even shared few great locations for anchoring. Carlos explained everything (operating procedures) so clearly that sailing was a breeze and it turned out to be a fun filled family experience.

fun private boat ride! Worth it!!

Ivan_B, Jun 2022
very relaxing, and fun excursion. HIGHLY recommended for all! We got to ride all over and make multiple stops. We rented for 4 hours and that was more than enough time.

Favourite day in Mallorca

Stephanie_R, Jun 2022
We absolutely loved our experience! It was one of our favourite days in Mallorca. The team were friendly to deal with, they provided a handy map of the best locations to stop in and they were very organised. On the way back at the end of our trip, our boat had some motor trouble which was a bit concerning being out in the open water, however everything else was perfect.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thanks a lot for taking your time and writing us a review in TripAdvisor. We are really happy to hear that you had great day out at sea on one of our boats. However we are sorry that you had an issue with the motor on your way back. Our mechanic checked the motor and could find and fix the issue quickly. You can always be assured that we are quickly there if you would need assistance whilest at sea. It was nice meeting you in Santa Ponsa. Best regards from the whole team.

Amazing

Katie_D, Jun 2022
Amazing day. Brilliant communication and small touches like a marked out map with nice stop points or dangerous areas. Cool box with ice was a great touch for nice cold drinks

Response from Host, Jun 2022
