Fishing trips
Have you heard of fishing tourism? We’re talking here about tourist trips in Mallorca with traditional fishermen on professional fishing boats. These boat trips in Mallorca are a unique experience, and a chance to see dolphins, lobsters, and many other species, as well as sailing the waters, eating the freshest fish of the day onboard, and discovering all the secrets of this profession. Would you like to try your hand at fishing?
Boat trips
If you’re looking for adventure, then why not spend an incredible day snorkelling near Mallorca’s coves or caves, where you´ll find a rich variety of fish and other marine fauna. Your best option here is to take a boat tour of Mallorca that will take you to the areas with the best selections. You can also enjoy the spectacular views during the boat trip around Mallorca, observing some incredible landscapes.
Discover more of Mallorca's southeast coast than you probably thought you would during a boat trip to Cala Es Marmols, a secluded beach that can only be reached by boat or a rather long walk. On the way, you can admire Cala Llombards and Cala s'Almunia from a different viewpoint, before diving into the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. In addition to this boat trip through the coves, you can also combine a boat trip with the beach of Formentor.
Boat tours in Mallorca also allow you to practice other sports such as stand up paddle surf, surfing, kayaking and flyboard, the new and ultimate sensation where the water pressure propels you to the heights - it's like flying!
Trips by catamaran
A catamaran ride will allow you to go even further out to sea, and sail for longer. During the stops near the coast you can also snorkel, dive from the catamaran into the water, swim to a cove, or simply relax on one of the boat's hammocks. There are several catamaran trips in Alcudia, given the possible dolphin watching season from May to October. The bay of Alcudia is full of catamarans, with tourists coming to see the dolphins jump and take some unique pictures and videos.
On some catamarans, you can also practice scuba diving and snorkelling. The crystal clear waters are fantastic for watching the fish and feeling part of the seabed ecosystem. It’s an excellent place for you to try your first dive, with professionals who will help you enjoy the experience.
Rent a sailing boat
If you’re looking for more privacy, or a smaller boat that isn’t so crowded, then the best option is for you to rent a sailing boat. It’s a trip that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and it’ll bring you closer to the most unexplored coasts and coves of the island.
Besides, it’s also a great alternative for couples – what could be better than a sailing boat to enjoy a romantic sunset from? Sailing trips are also in great demand for family outings, business activities, and are even very popular for stag nights.
Another must-see stop if you hire a sailing boat, or any other type of boat, in Mallorca, is the excursion to the Blue Cave or Cova Blava, where, weather permitting, you can enter the cave on the boat and have a dip in the cave’s impressive blue waters - a totally unique experience - and you can experience it with the boat excursions in Mallorca. After that, you can then go to the Port of Cabrera, very nearby, and visit the island with a stop at the Castle of Cabrera.
Most of these excursions by boat and sailing tours in Mallorca include some kind of meal or snack for the passengers in their price. Also, most companies and boat owners have a safety protocol which means you can sail with peace of mind. That’s why, whether it’s with your partner, a group of friends, or your family, the activities by boat, catamaran, or sailing boat are an experience that you simply can’t miss on your next holiday in Mallorca.
