Nice Cruise

Paige_B, Aug 2026
Parking was accessible right at the pick up spot. It is paid parking. The check-in process was easy. The individual was a little rude but we figured out which boat we were taking and boarded around the time it said the excursion started. The boat was decently kept. The trip on the water was beautiful! The spots we stopped at were nice and the water was lovely. The lunch provided was ok. A small piece of chicken, small piece of beef and a hot dog with pasta salad and a bun. The staff on the boat were nice but not overly engaging with the crowd. The snorkeling wasn’t the greatest. We saw very little fish. You have to bring your own snorkeling gear. We did not receive the two drinks that our ticket included. When we asked about this, they acted as if they didn’t know what we were talking about. Overall, this was a nice trip. One of the highlights of our trip to Mallorca.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for your detailed review! ⛵🌊😊 We're delighted that the catamaran cruise became one of the highlights of your Mallorca holiday and that you enjoyed the beautiful coastline, swimming stops and easy check-in. We appreciate your comments about the service and lunch and will pass them on to the boat team. Regarding snorkelling, marine life naturally varies from day to day and cannot be guaranteed. We are particularly concerned about your comment regarding the two included drinks. If these were stated as included on your ticket, they should of course have been provided, and we will review this with the crew. Thank you again for your balanced feedback and for choosing Nofrills Excursions. We're very pleased that, overall, you had such an enjoyable day at sea! 💙🌴

Fun Excursion

Laura_G, Jul 2026
Very fun experience! The service was great on board and lunch was nice. Be prepared to pay for your beverages to stay hydrated or bring your own water! We swam twice, both times in very deep water. Life jackets are provided, can purchase a snorkel set if you’d like for 10 euros. 3 paddle boards and 3 kayaks to share, everyone seemed very happy! Saw plenty of fish and even a stingray! The netting at the front of the catamaran is a must to try laying on, very cool! As someone with motion sickness, bring your medicine just in case. Sea gets a bit choppy at times, but overall such a great activity and fun day. We went in the morning and I recommend going at this time as it was very warm and the water was very refreshing. Great crew and kept things lighthearted and fun. Also wasn’t too crowded despite so many people on board.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your fantastic and detailed review! ⛵🌊😊 We're delighted to hear that you had such a fun day on board and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere created by our crew. It's great to know that the swimming stops, crystal-clear waters and marine life—including the stingray—made the experience so memorable. Thank you as well for sharing such helpful tips for future guests. The catamaran's front nets are certainly a favourite spot to relax, and the paddle boards, kayaks and optional snorkelling equipment make the swimming stops even more enjoyable. As this is a sailing excursion on the open sea, we also appreciate your advice for guests who are prone to motion sickness. We're thrilled that you found the boat comfortable despite the number of guests on board and that you enjoyed the BBQ lunch and overall experience. Thank you for choosing Nofrills Excursions—we hope to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable day in Mallorca! 💙🌴

Good day out in the water

Isabelle_L, Jul 2026
We had a good day on this tour. The boat wasn’t overly crowded so that was nice. We got to swim at 3 different locations which was nice. The bbq lunch was pretty good as well. The only thing we didn’t like was the music choice. It was mainly older slower songs. Didn’t give the fun Spain vibe we would have liked. But overall good day.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! ⛵🌊☀️ We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day on the catamaran and appreciated the three swimming stops, the BBQ lunch and the fact that the boat wasn't overcrowded. Having plenty of space on board really helps create the relaxed atmosphere we're aiming for. We also appreciate your feedback about the music. Playlists can be a matter of personal taste, and we'll certainly pass your comments on to the crew as we're always looking for ways to improve the onboard experience for guests from all over the world. Thank you again for choosing Nofrills Excursions. We hope to welcome you back on board for another memorable day exploring Mallorca's beautiful coastline! 💙🌴

The sea might be dangerous at times, but even in this, the crew members are very nice and helpful. Nice experience overall, very calm, relaxing.

Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear you had a calm and relaxing experience on the catamaran, even with the sea being a bit unpredictable at times.

Bridal party boat trip

Kate_A, May 2025
Group of 11 bridal party - can’t fault this trip! The staff, atmosphere, locations and food and drink - all excellent. About 60 people on board and space for everyone to move about and take in the amaizing views. 2 drinks (water/orange or sangria) are included with the bbq food, which is grilled chicken, pork, pasta salad and a hot dog. Followed by some fresh fruit afterwards. We were able to take our own drinks and food and we purchased extra drinks on board. The toilets are basic but clean and the staff were so lovely and accommodating to everyone. You could use their kayak and paddle boards if you wanted to too. We all agreed we would definitely book this again the next time we visit Alcudia.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for this fantastic review! 😊 We're thrilled to hear your bridal party had such a great time on board — what a fun way to celebrate! It’s great to know you enjoyed the food, the views, the friendly crew, and the relaxed atmosphere. We’re especially happy that the space, activities, and overall experience made the day special for your group. We’d love to welcome you back the next time you're in Alcudia!

Great experience

Nastassja_D, Aug 2024
Booked this for my brother birthday. Not only did he enjoyed it but my family of 4 also did. Won’t be disappointed. 5 stars isn’t enough to rate our lovely experience.

Swimming

Eszter_K, Jul 2024
The beaches where we stopped were beautiful. On the down side, for some reason, we did not go to the promised "Cap de Formentor", which was promised... There were probably too many people (179!) to feed so we turned back after the 2nd swimming opportunity. At the end of our trip, we stopped in Port Alcúdia to swim again, which was not planned and there was nothing interesting in that place. We didn't understand why we stopped there instead of going to Formentor...

Spectacular!

Sharon_Y, Jun 2024
This was an excellent excursion that captures the beauty of this part of the island. Perfect amount of time at each stop and the team was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We get many reviews for this excursion, and we think it is a must do in Mallorca. In the last years we have worked very hard to make it unique … and we love to get 5 star reviews like yours. We are sure your review will also help other travellers to make their decision about what to do in Mallorca. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

Fun and worth it

AlliahIsabel_L, Jun 2024
Stunning views and had fun swimming! Stopped at three different places to swim. The cruise is a must when visiting Alcudia!

Good for sunbathing and relax

Jayesh_P, Jun 2024
Overall the trip was good. I am vegetarian so the only option i had were bread and some pasta which was okay in taste with some cold and hard drinks, 2 for each person max. The route was nice...we had plenty of time to swim and good gears provided by the Boat Crew, we had to bought snorkeling equipment for 8€. Other items were free to use. Music was not louder enough. So overall its not party type boat. Its most preferred by the people who wants take good sunbath and just relax throughout the tour. Weather was perfect. Complete clear sky and warm enough.

No snooze with this booze cruise

Karin_H, Oct 2023
Not quite what we expecting as they did not raise the sails once! It was effectively a Booze Cruise Catamaran with loud pumping music. It was an enormous boat that accommodated 100 people. We stopped 3 times in 4 hours. One for an hour and a half whilst they prepared lunch. Not the serenity of going under sail. Fun enough, but not what we thought we ordered given the photo on the promotional material online.

Did not attend

Cynthia_N, Sep 2023
Never actually went, owner reported false information. Please do not book this, they took my money and refused to issue a refund even though I did not go! Services were never rendered

Good enough but on the slightly expensive side

bryan_g, Sep 2023
Trip was fun and chilled, was slightly expensive compared to other countries like the Canaries islands. Food was fine also drinks €5 per 400ml beer.

Viator and sailboat operator hard to deal with

Clarence_I, Sep 2023
We could not make the sailing because it was on the opposite side of Mallorca, which we did not realize until getting off our cruise ship, and we could not get there on time. . We requested a refund from Viator and sailboat operator but they denied any refund or credit. This makes us NEVER want to deal with Viator. So our group paid in advance about $500 and that is totally wasted.

A Total Scam

Michael_W, Sep 2023
This tour is a complete SCAM! They make the meeting point for this tour an hour inland so there's no way that you can make it there or back to the ship in time. There phone doesnt work when you need to call them and when it does ...you get a recording in Spanish. Don't get ripped off by these guys ...their scam artists.

Great day ina and in the water

William_V, Jul 2023
They left in time. Loading and unloading was easy. Had great weather. They had everything you needed: paddle boards, kayak and floats. Food was really good and plentiful. Overall a really great time

A Highlight of My Trip!

Dana_S, Jul 2023
Turning off the motor and raising the sails. Swimming in beautiful coves. Gorgeous vistas. Good lunch and sangria.

Must do trip

Paul_Y, Jun 2023
The catamaran excursion experience was wonderful. Smooth ride, we made 3 stops at coves to jump in the water and swim. The staff was extremely friendly and provided wonderful service. They had kayaks and paddle boards for use included. They made a fresh barbecue lunch during the longest stop and the grilled chicken was really tasty. Overall a well organized trip. The boat had just enough people without feeling overcrowded. Good selection of drinks for purchase and a free drink with lunch. Fyi -The trip was actually 6 hours as opposed to 5.

Best day

Brian_m, Jun 2023
I'm a solo traveller, loved this trip, the weather was ideal the boat comfortable, with an excellent crew, the 1st swim stop was amazing, but when we arrived at the 2nd, well, that was beyond belief, swimming followed by a BBQ Just an amazing day,

Traveling on the Anacaona...

Martha_R, Jun 2023
Traveling on the Anacaona was a wonderful experience, we hope to repeat it soon. A very respectful suggestion, please take vegetarians into account at lunch. For the rest, all wonderful, thank you.

Very great and fun...

Martine_H, May 2023
Very great and fun experience however the boat seems to be overly crowded with people and waiting time for departure is too long Overall experience is great and fun the crew are very friendly

Exhilarating Catamaran with just enough people

Emmanuel_T, Sep 2022
Drove from Palma to Alcudia for an hour, still arrived early for a quick breakfast near the marina. Boarded the Anancoana I with maybe 50 people, and it was just enough people, not too crowded. Brief stops to swim, kayak and paddle at different spots and had an awesome lunch on board with pasta and grilled meats, capped with watermelon, fruits. Bring cash for drinks, only free at lunchtime. Great sailing charter with friendly crew!!!

A very entertaining and...

Vernica_B, Aug 2022
A very entertaining and extremely well spent morning. I Recommend the tour to anyone who enjoys a good adventure.

On the water

ryansandra, Aug 2022
Great day out, very friendly crew. A nice lunch and good choice of drinks. We were on the larger catamaran

Nice day out

Krysta_S, Aug 2022
An easy and affordable way to see other beautiful beaches in Mallorca, if you don't want to opt for hikes or driving; we stopped at beautiful areas and lunch was great, the crew were also super friendly. Previous reviews mentionned not having enough equipment, but I think there are options available if people shared - the boat was full that day, so if you want to avoid large crowds (and possible selfish behaviour from visitors) a smaller tour may be best. The only thing I would recommend is more indications in the marina, since the GPS provided carried us to an area with several tours with different names, so we almost got on the wrong boat :D however someone was very helpful to guide us. Thanks again!

False advertising

Mima, Aug 2022
The boat crew is amazing, you get to see a part of the northern coast, few coves to swim in, and lunch. But you are NOT going by or stoping at Formentor beach nor Cap. That part is false advertising. The price is too high for a few coves and an average lunch in my opinion. If I knew that we werent going to Formentor I wouldnt have booked this trip.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

hi we have read the info on the web, and it clearly states that we dont stop on thise places. thanks

Great but not that great

Dicle_K, Jul 2022
Great vieuw, if u don’t like to swim don’t go on this tour. They stop 3/4 times to swim, 3 times 20 mins, 1 time 1 hour.

Amazing!

Adrienn_B, Jul 2022
Great crew, big boat, 3 swim stops and delicious lunch. Everything was perfect on our cruise and this was the highlight of our holiday. The water was warm, the crew provided us with snorkels, kayaks, paddle boards and floating devices and we got to enjoy 2hrs of swimming at 3 different places. Highly recommend.

Provides what it says.

David_K, Jun 2022
Swimming before lunch was excellent. The lunch was good too and well cooked. The pre-trip explanation was accurate. Recommended.
