Four hours at sea feels like a reset. This private half-day catamaran from Portopetro lets you hop between two Mallorca coves, with time to swim and snorkel, plus drinks on board. You get the classic turquoise-water feeling, minus the crowds.

I like two things most. First, Calo des Moro gives you a full stretch of time in a crystal-clear cove, so you can actually enjoy the water instead of rushing. Second, the boat setup is built for hanging out: snorkeling gear, SUP, fresh towels, and onboard WiFi and a speaker.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is weather-led and not for everyone. It is not recommended for travelers with mobility difficulties, and you will want to be flexible if conditions are too rough.

Key points

• Calo des Moro gets the longer stop window for real swim and snorkel time
• Cala Figuera is a quick, scenic add-on that keeps the trip feeling light
• Snorkeling gear and SUP are included, not rented after you arrive
• Onboard drinks and snacks are included, including beers, wine, and Prosecco
• Private group up to 10 means the pace is yours

Portopetro Departure and the Private-Charter Feel

Portopetro is a good starting point if you want Mallorca to feel calm and local, not like a ticket line. Your trip is a private cruise, with up to 10 people per group, so you are not stuck negotiating space with strangers. That matters more than it sounds when you are sharing towels, gear, and salty air.

I also like that it is set up for an easy, low-stress afternoon at sea. You have an onboard restroom, bottled water, coffee or tea, and a wireless or Bluetooth speaker plus WiFi. Translation: you can keep the mood relaxed, whether that means playing music or just letting everyone enjoy the views.

Because this is private, you should think about what you want the crew to do with your time. If you care about swimming first, then tell them early. If your group loves photos, ask for a moment to pause when the coastline looks its best. Short, clear requests are how you get the most out of a half-day.

Calo des Moro: Crystal Water and Dramatic Cliffs

Calo des Moro is the star stop, and you get about 2 hours there. Expect a secluded-feeling cove with crystal-clear water and dramatic cliffs that frame the swim area. For most people, that is where the cruise becomes more than a boat ride, it turns into a beach-with-no-sand situation.

Here is how I would use your time. First, go in early with your snorkel gear if you can. Then spend the middle stretch sunbathing or just drifting with a drink in hand. If your group likes exploring, this is also a good stop for moving slowly along the edges of the cove, staying close enough for the crew to keep track of you.

A practical note: water time can run fast. You might feel tempted to snorkel the whole 2 hours. A better plan is to do one longer snorkel session, then save the rest for relaxing. You will thank yourself when the boat starts heading to the next stop.

Cala Figuera: A Sea-Level Pause With Big Views

After Calo des Moro, you move to Cala Figuera for about 1 hour. This is not as long of a stop, so it works best as a scenic reset and a chance to enjoy the coastline from a different angle. If Calo des Moro is about the water, Cala Figuera is more about the feeling of Mallorca as you glide along.

Use this hour to do the quick hits. Grab a drink, hop in for a short swim if the conditions feel right, and take photos while the boat is close enough to see details along the coast. Because you have a shorter window, I would skip anything that requires extra setup or waiting.

This stop is also a nice balance for families and mixed groups. If some people are more confident swimmers than others, one group can enjoy the water while the other stays aboard and soaks up the views. You are private, so the crew can help keep the timing smooth.

On Board: Snorkeling Gear, SUP, Snacks, and Prosecco

This is one of the big reasons to choose this catamaran cruise. The included list is refreshingly practical. You get snorkeling equipment and fresh towels, plus a SUP (stand up paddling board) and access to WiFi on board. Even if you do not use everything, it is comforting to know the option is there.

Food and drinks are also covered. You get coffee and/or tea, snacks like fruit salad and chips, bottled water, and alcoholic beverages including soft drinks, beers, wine, and Prosecco. That can turn a “nice outing” into a true half-day celebration without you spending extra cash mid-trip.

One more onboard detail I appreciate: there is a wireless or Bluetooth speaker. If your group has a playlist, bring it up and use it. Music plus sea air can make the whole experience feel more personal, especially on a private charter.

And since it is a half-day, this matters. You do not need to hunt for lunch during the tour, because the cruise does not include a local restaurant meal. Plan to eat before or after, and use the snacks and drinks to keep everyone happy while you float between coves.

Crew and Boat Operations: Safety First, Then Style

The experience lives and dies with the crew on a small private boat, and this one has a strong reputation for attentive service and a calm, safety-focused vibe. Names like Adonis and Argy show up repeatedly in guest notes, along with hostesses such as Jessica, and other crew members including Cristina and Evan. In plain terms, you are likely to feel looked after rather than just processed.

You may also notice how the trip handles boarding and getting to the water. Some guests talk about transferring via rib, which is common in areas where boats can anchor and people hop in easily. Whatever the exact method on your day, the key is that safety comes first, then comfort.

I also like that this charter can feel personal beyond the basics. If you are celebrating something, you should know the crew has helped create simple surprises on board in the past. If that is your goal, mention it at booking or when you meet the team, and keep it realistic, but it can add heart to a short trip.

Timing, Weather, and What to Pack for 4 Hours

This cruise is listed as about 4 hours, so timing is everything. You will want to treat the day like a mini-escape, not a full itinerary. That means simple planning: arrive ready to swim, bring a tote for wet stuff, and keep your schedule flexible.

Weather matters here. The activity requires good weather, and if it gets canceled due to poor conditions, you will be offered a different date or a full refund. That is normal for sea trips, but it also means you should not pair this with anything tightly timed right after it.

What should you pack? Even though towels are provided, think about:

• Swimsuit, plus a spare if your group is energetic
• Sunscreen and sunglasses with a strap
• Water shoes if you do not like stepping on rocky edges
• A dry layer for the ride back

Also, if you have mobility concerns, this one is not recommended. The boat and water activities are part of the experience, so if you need step-free access or a very stable ground setup, ask questions before booking.

Price and Value: $1,730 for Up to 10 People

The price is $1,730.19 per group for up to 10 people, for about 4 hours. On paper, that can look steep if you price it like a standard sightseeing ticket. But the private factor changes the math.

At the maximum of 10 people, you are roughly at $173 per person. If you spread that across a tight group, it often undercuts the cost of booking several separate activities and paying for gear and food separately. More importantly, it includes real add-ons that usually cost extra elsewhere, like snorkeling equipment, SUP access, towels, and the drink menu including wine and Prosecco.

The other value point is that you are buying time on the water, not just transportation. Two coves, swimming opportunities, and onboard comfort features like WiFi and a restroom turn it into a floating lounge with a purpose. For many groups, that is where the money turns into a meaningful memory.

If you have fewer than 10 people, the per-person cost rises. In that case, I would ask yourself: are we okay paying more so we get privacy and a customized pace? If yes, this price starts to look fair.

Should You Book This Mallorca Catamaran Charter?

I think this is a strong choice if you want Mallorca to feel personal, with two swim-focused stops and included water toys. The included snorkeling gear, SUP, towels, snacks, and drinks mean you do not spend the whole time thinking about logistics. And because it is a private group of up to 10, you can set a pace that fits your group.

I would skip it or ask careful questions if mobility is an issue, because it is not recommended for travelers with mobility difficulties. I would also treat it as a weather-friendly plan, not a guaranteed splash party on a fixed schedule.

If you are booking with a friend group or family unit, and you want an afternoon that feels like a vacation within the vacation, this catamaran cruise is easy to justify.
