I'm not a strong swimmer. Can I still enjoy it?

Of course. The day is much more than swimming: sailing, tapas, drinks and the views. In the water you can use a float or the paddleboard, which some guests turn into their own private island, cold beer in hand. Or simply enjoy the stops from the deck or the swim ladder.

Is it safe? Who is the crew?

You're in very experienced hands. Bryce and Karin have more than 20 years of sailing between them and have each crossed the Atlantic twice, once on this very yacht. Every trip starts with a short safety briefing. Read more about us in Our Story.

We are more than 10. Can we come?

Our yacht takes up to 10 guests. For bigger groups we work with partner boats, and we also organise corporate events. Message us with what you have in mind and we arrange the best option for you.

Which languages do you speak?

We speak English and Spanish fluently. Safety briefings are also available in French and German.

Is there shade? Will it get cold?

There's a large shaded area at the back of the boat with plenty of seating. Summer days stay warm. In April, May and October, bring a light jacket for the sail back.

Can I get on board easily?

Yes. We board with a gangway, and with a little help from the crew, guests with limited mobility come aboard comfortably. Just let us know when you book.

What's on board? Is there a toilet?

Toilet, a changing room, charging points, and plenty of dry space for your phone and bags.

Itinerary

Meet your hostYour host welcomes you at the meeting point and walks you personally to the boat. From here on, you don't have to lift a finger.
Sail into the Bay of PalmaThe photo everyone back home will ask about: Palma Cathedral behind you, drink in hand, music on. We hoist the sails whenever there is enough wind.
Swim stops in the covesWe aim for two swim stops within the Bay of Palma, so you have plenty of time in the water. Your captain picks the most sheltered coves of the day. Dive in from the yacht, snorkel or paddleboard, with local tapas at the first stop.Possible swim stops: Cala Comtesa, Illetas, Cala Major, Cala Nova and Cap Rocat.
Sail the coastlineBetween stops we share stories of Mallorca and our own sailing adventures, Atlantic crossings included. On the way back you see Palma Cathedral again, and Bellver Castle on its hill above the city.
Back to PalmaA relaxed sail back to Club de Mar, where your boat excursion ends at the same point you boarded, about 4 hours from departure to arrival. Not in a hurry? Stay for a meal or a drink at the marina restaurants.

Food and diets

Our tapas boards always include a variety that works for every diet: vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and more. Tell us about allergies or intolerances when you book and we make sure there are options for you. On private trips, with a little notice, we can cater the whole menu to your diet.

Frequently asked questions

Can children come?

Shared trips are for ages 13 and up. On a private trip all ages are welcome, babies too: there is a big bed below deck where little ones can nap safely, and space to stow a pushchair.

Do we actually sail?

Absolutely, it's in our name. Our captain has 15 years at sea, and every crew member at least 6. We sail because we love it, so whenever there's wind, the sails go up. We even fitted a high-performance 3Di mainsail to get the most out of every breeze. Fancy a go at the helm? We're always happy to welcome an extra crew member.

Can I bring my own food or drinks?

On a private trip: of course, it's your boat for the day. On a shared trip, everything is already included, so there's no need. Your own snacks and canned drinks are welcome. Bringing something special, like a birthday cake? Bring it ready to serve and to share with the group. Please leave big bottles at home.

What if I get seasick?

Most of our guests never feel a thing. We stay inside the Bay of Palma, which is sheltered and usually calm. If you're sensitive to motion:

choose the morning sail, when the sea is often at its calmest
eat something light beforehand
take your usual travel-sickness remedy about an hour before you board (we're not allowed to give medication on board)
sit in the middle of the boat with your eyes on the horizon

Not sure about your day? Message us, and we'll tell you honestly how the sea looks.

What if I'm running late?

We understand that unplanned delays can happen. That's why we always recommend arriving 5 to 10 minutes early. If for some reason you can't make it at the meeting time, we always wait for you for 10 minutes. After that we set sail, out of respect for the other guests.

On private trips, your yacht waits for you for up to 1 hour 30 minutes. Your trip ends at the scheduled time, as we usually have other guests sailing after you, so the earlier you arrive, the more time you get to enjoy on the water.
