Day Charter – All Inclusive

A private, all-inclusive sail charter in Mallorca is interesting because you spend your time doing things in the water, not waiting in line or piecing together your own day. You also get a real local-style route along Palma’s coastline, with breaks that feel more like a fun outing than a rigid checklist.

I love the combo of a professional skipper plus an underwater scooter and snorkeling gear. I also like the fact that snacks and drinks are included, so you are not hunting for food between swims. One thing to consider: this runs only with good weather, so you will want a plan for a flexible day.

Key highlights at a glance

• Private group up to 11, so you get space and control of the pace
• Underwater scooter, SUP, snorkeling gear, and crystal clear kayak, all included
• Five stops around Palma’s shoreline, giving you variety instead of one long swim
• Skipper, fuel, and final cleaning included, which cuts down on last-minute surprises
• Appetizer plus 2 drinks and snacks, built into the 4-hour outing
• Weather-dependent schedule, so you get the best sea conditions or a refund or rebook option

Why this Palma sail feels like the right kind of vacation time

This is the kind of Mallorca day that works even if you do not want to spend hours planning. You meet at Naviera Balear S.L in Palma, step aboard, and from there it’s about being on the water and playing with gear. The payoff is simple: a half day that actually feels full.

What makes it special is the way it’s packaged. You are not renting a boat and then trying to figure out what to do once you’re out there. A skipper handles the sailing, fuel, and ship basics, while you get the fun stuff: underwater scooter time, snorkeling access, paddle surf, and a crystal clear kayak.

The other plus is the all-inclusive feel. Snacks, an appetizer, and two drinks remove a common stress. You can focus on the coves, the water toys, and your group.

A 4-hour game plan: sailing plus real time in the water

The charter runs about 4 hours, which is a sweet spot. Long enough for multiple water sessions, short enough that it does not drain your whole day.

Your day is paced around sailing and stops. You start by getting oriented onboard, then you begin moving along the coast. At each stop, you get time for water activities, not just a quick swim. In a good charter, this matters, because it turns your time on the water into something you can repeat and enjoy, like trying snorkeling, switching to SUP, and then winding down with a kayak.

This is also a private experience. Only your group is on board. That means you are not sharing attention, space, or music choices with strangers. If your group likes to linger, you can usually do that. If you want to be active, you can be active too.

The water toys that change the mood fast

This charter includes a serious lineup for water fun. The big standouts for me are the ones that let non-experts join in without needing special skills.

Here’s what you can use during the outing:

• Underwater scooter (a fun way to explore underwater with less effort than traditional snorkeling)
• Stand-up paddle board (SUP)
• Snorkeling masks and snorkeling equipment
• Crystal clear kayak
• An anti jellyfish pool

That anti jellyfish pool detail is worth calling out. Even if you are not especially worried about sea life, it’s one more comfort layer for getting in and out of the water. It makes the whole experience feel calmer.

From the reviews, I took away that the toys are not “show up and look at them” items. People describe them as genuinely fun, especially the underwater scooter, with the SUP and kayak also getting high marks. One family even framed it as a half-day that felt like it was worth the price because the equipment was the real entertainment.

Planning your swim strategy at each stop

You will sail to several coastal spots during the charter. Each stop is designed to give you a chance to try different water time. The trick is to not treat every stop like a single “big swim.” Instead, think of them as short activity blocks.

A simple approach I recommend:

1. Start one stop with snorkeling. Get your mask fit, test the water, and get comfortable.
2. At the next stop, switch to SUP or the crystal clear kayak. This breaks up the effort and lets your muscles reset.
3. Save the underwater scooter for a moment when your group is ready to slow down and enjoy a longer play session.

Because you have multiple stops, you do not have to worry about making one single activity perfect. You can keep your day flowing.

Also, you have a skipper aboard, which is a big practical advantage. He can help you time gear use, keep things safe around the boat, and suggest what to focus on based on sea conditions.

Punta Negra, Platja Del Mago, and the rest of Palma’s coastline

You visit five named spots, in this order: Playa Punta Negra, Platja Del Mago, Mallorca Wellness SPA Gran Playa De Palma, Cala Major, and Ses Illetes.

I like itineraries like this because they avoid the “one beach, one view” problem. Even if you are not a map person, changing locations can keep the day interesting. The water conditions can also vary a bit from place to place, which can affect how comfortable the snorkeling and paddle time feels.

Here’s how you can think about what each stop is for, without getting too precious about it:

• Playa Punta Negra: A good early stop to get your group into the rhythm. If your goal is water sports, starting with something straightforward helps everyone settle in fast.
• Platja Del Mago: A mid-rotation stop, where you can switch gears after your first swim. This is the point where I’d set up a second activity, like SUP or kayak time, if your group wants variety.
• Mallorca Wellness SPA Gran Playa De Palma: This stop feels like it’s meant to break up the route and give you another pause with scenery. Even if you do not go ashore, being able to hop in at a different stretch of coastline is part of why the day works.
• Cala Major: By now, your group usually has the hang of things. This is a great time for another snorkeling session or a slower swim block.
• Ses Illetes: This is your later-day payoff spot. In a half day like this, the last stop often becomes the one people remember most, because everyone is relaxed and ready to play.

One practical note: water activities are included, but towels and sunscreen are not. So pack accordingly, especially if you plan to bounce from water to boat often.

What’s actually included in the “all-inclusive” part

Let’s talk value in plain terms. All-inclusive can mean different things, but here the list is genuinely useful.

Included during the charter:

• Snorkeling equipment (use of the snorkeling gear)
• Underwater scooter equipment
• Stand-up paddle board
• Crystal clear kayak
• Anti jellyfish pool
• Snacks
• Soda or pop
• Appetizer
• 2 drinks
• Fuel
• Professional boat skipper
• Final cleaning
• All fees and taxes

Not included:

• Private transportation to the meeting point
• Towels and sunscreen (and other personal accessories)

So what does that mean for your day? It means you are paying for the experience in one package: boat time, the captain, and the gear that makes the trip fun. It also means you do not have to budget and plan for meals like you would on a self-organized boat day.

From the reviews, I picked up a theme: people appreciated the food and drinks, and several described it as pleasant, simple, and well-timed. One reviewer specifically mentioned local produce for lunch. Another mentioned the company was gracious about dietary needs, which matters because meal included options can be hit or miss on boat days.

Captain energy can make or break a charter

On a boat charter, the skipper’s vibe matters. It affects safety, timing, and how smoothly gear use happens. In the reviews, Captain Marty and Captain Danny stood out for being friendly and for speaking English well.

One family called out that the captain was accommodating with a group that included adults and a 3-year-old grandson. That’s a subtle reminder: even if the day is about water fun, it still needs someone good at managing different comfort levels.

If you care about a relaxed, easygoing tone, this is a strong sign. A good captain also helps you get the most out of your stops, because he can adjust plans based on sea conditions and group energy.

Price and value: what you’re paying for, and what you should check

Price is listed as $1,027.36 per group, up to 11 passengers, for about 4 hours.

If you fill the full group, the per-person cost works out to roughly $93 each. If you are only a party of two or four, the per-person cost climbs fast. So the value depends on your group size and your priorities.

Where this charter tends to be worth it:

• You want a private outing instead of sharing a boat with strangers
• You actually plan to use the water toys (not just watch)
• You want the skipper and fuel handled for you
• You prefer an included food and drink plan

Where it might feel less “worth it”:

• If your group is small and you mainly want one casual swim
• If you plan to spend most of the time sitting onboard with minimal gear use

For me, the value calculation is really about the equipment list. Underwater scooter plus SUP plus snorkeling plus a clear kayak is a lot to coordinate on your own. And since snacks, appetizer, and two drinks are included, you do not get nickel-and-dimed for the easy stuff.

Another useful detail: this is booked about 37 days in advance on average. That suggests you should not wait until the last minute if you have specific dates in mind, especially in peak season.

Practical tips so you enjoy every stop

A great day on the water usually has small preparation moves. Here are the ones that matter based on what’s included and not included.

Bring what you need for quick transitions

• Towels are not included
• Sunscreen is not included
• Consider additional personal accessories you might want for comfort

Arrive ready to get in and out

You will be at sea and moving between stops. Plan for a quick water routine, not a slow spa setup. Having your essentials staged helps.

Plan your group roles

With a private charter, you can make it easy on everyone. Pick a couple people who are responsible for gear handoff and keeping track of masks or paddle items. The goal is to prevent little bottlenecks so you get consistent water time.

Use the included gear, in order

If your group tries everything at once, you burn time and energy. Stagger activities so each person gets real chances to use the equipment.

Keep weather in mind

This experience requires good weather. If conditions are poor, you should expect a different date option or a full refund. That’s not just bureaucracy. It’s what keeps the water time enjoyable instead of stressful.

Who should book this charter, and who might choose differently

This is a good fit if:

• You want a private half-day with no sharing
• Your group includes people who enjoy active water time, like SUP and snorkeling
• You want an included meal and drinks plan
• You care about having a skipper handle the sailing and safety

It can be a great family-friendly option too. One review highlighted a 3-year-old grandson included alongside adults, and the captain was accommodating. Still, water comfort varies by child, so you’ll want to match expectations to the people in your group.

If you are the kind of traveler who likes to snorkel a lot on your own schedule, or you want a more minimalist trip, this might be more structured than you need. But if you want a fun, gear-filled outing that stays easy, it fits well.

Should you book this Day Charter in Mallorca?

I would book this charter if you want a smooth, private 4-hour day that centers on water fun and includes the stuff that usually takes planning off your plate. The lineup of toys is the headline, and the included snacks, appetizer, and drinks make it feel complete.

Book it especially if you are traveling with a group size closer to the maximum, because that is where the per-person value lands best. And if you care about a relaxed English-speaking captain, the reviews highlight friendly captains like Marty and Danny, which is a good sign for how the day will feel.

If your schedule is tight, just remember it is weather-dependent. When Mallorca has the right conditions, this kind of charter becomes one of those days you wish you had a little more time for.
