A trip on a catamaran in Mallorca is one of the best ways to spend a day on your holiday in the Mediterranean. Mallorca is a beautiful island with some of Spain’s best coastline. There is no better way to enjoy the gorgeous views than from aboard a modern catamaran with the breeze in your sails and the turquoise water lapping gently around you. You can sunbathe on the trampoline-like nets or you can sit on the bench while you enjoy a glass of sangria.
Generally, the catamaran excursions in Mallorca follow a similar itinerary, lasting for approximately five hours and including stops for swimming and snorkeling and often including lunch on board the catamaran too.
Despite Mallorca being a popular summer tourist hotspot and the catamaran tours being very successful and in demand, there are not actually as many catamarans in Mallorca as you would perhaps expect. For this reason it is absolutely essential to book your places on the catamaran tour ahead of time and not to turn up at the port on the same day or leave it too late to book.
Which is the best catamaran in Mallorca?
One of the most popular catamarans in Mallorca is the all-inclusive catamaran tour in the bay of Palma. This lasts for approximately four hours and takes you to little-known coves where you can swim and snorkel in the refreshing blue waters while you enjoy the peace and quiet away from the tourist crowds. You have food and drink included in the price of the excursion and can consume as much as you wish.
We also love the catamaran tours departing from the north of the island as, here the coastline is absolutely stunning and the catamarans tend to take you towards Formentor at the tip of the island, where it is a pure delight to swim and snorkel.

How is a catamaran experience in Mallorca?
There are different ways to enjoy a catamaran in Mallorca depending on who you are travelling with and what your budget is. Many daily catamaran excursions in Mallorca are for families or couples and they try to offer the possibility of swimming and fun, combined with relax and soaking up the sun.
These catamarans can get busy but they are a great way to see the island and to enjoy a day at sea. Lunch tends to be included and the tours tend to last 4-5 hours. Regardless of which of these catamarans you choose, you will see spectacular views of Mallorca’s cliffs and beaches and will have a day to remember.
Often in high season, when sailing companies are busy with their daily catamaran trips, they put on an extra sunset tour. Look out for the sunset catamaran tour and take this option if you can, as the already gorgeous views of the island and the sea are enhanced by the colours of the setting sun and because it should be a little cooler in the evening than during the day.
If you can stretch your budget a little, you should consider the possibility of taking a private tour on a catamaran with the whole catamaran just for you and your family and a crew to take care of you. On this option, the route and itinerary can often be more flexible and modified to suit you better, allowing you more freedom to stay at one place longer or to move on when ready. It also means you don’t have to share the catamaran with other guests.
