5.Private Sailing Boat Excursion with Optional Paella

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 2 - 8 hours

Sail Palma’s bay with a private skipper for 2, 4, or 8 hours. Swim and snorkel at a quiet cove, use the paddleboards, and add paella, tapas, and drinks. Captains including Sarah, Edu, and Gustavo have earned praise for friendly service and careful handling.

“An amazing experience ! Edu made contact a couple of days in advance and helped us locate a suitable parking place, also gave us great directions. On board was so peaceful, soft drinks and olives were provided - we had no need of alcohol. We are family of five and finished our swimming / snorkelling slightly earlier than planned. Rather than just steam back, Edu was happy to put the sails up and we slowly and gracefully made our way back to port. Edu clearly knows what he's doing - our health and safety, enjoyment and adventure all equally catered for. Recommend without hesitation.”
