Private Full Day Cruise on Speed Boat
A private speed-boat day around Mallorca is interesting because you are not stuck on one beach. You bounce from place to place, anchored in quiet coves where the water looks made for swimming. Starting and ending in Cala d’Or also means you keep your day simple.
Two things I really like about this charter: the snorkeling gear plus SUP time, and the way the crew focuses on making the day feel easy and personal. In the past, I’ve seen this kind of service carried by captains and hosts like Kyriakos, Christina, Jessica, Adonis, Argy, and Lisa, with lots of friendly attention from check-in to the last swim.
One consideration: this is not a slow, flat sightseeing cruise. It’s a speed-boat day, and it’s not recommended for travelers with mobility difficulties, so think about your comfort getting on and off the water.
Key highlights at a glance
- Private means your group sets the pace, and you avoid the usual crowd rhythm.
- Snorkel gear, SUP, and water toys turn anchors into real swim stops, not just photo stops.
- Crew-led sightseeing talk adds context as you cruise the coastline.
- Stops mix coves and a real harbor town, so you get both water time and a walkable port feel.
- Food and drinks are part of the package, including beers, wine, prosecco, soft drinks, chips, and granola bars.
- English service and WiFi on board keep it relaxed if you want to share photos right away.
A Private Speed-Boat Day Around Mallorca’s South and Southeast
This is the kind of Mallorca day that feels made for the coast. You start in Cala d’Or at 10:00 am, then spend the day moving along rugged and scenic shoreline with multiple anchor stops. Instead of one long beach session, you get a sequence of short swims, quick breaks, and views from the water.
The value here is not just speed. It’s time quality. When you can drop anchor in small coves, you spend less time traveling and more time in the water, eating, and enjoying the day with your group.

Cost and Value: Paying Per Group Up to 8

The price is $1,878.42 per group, good for up to 8 people. That matters because this is not “per person” pricing that punishes families or groups. If you split the cost among 6 to 8 people, it starts to feel like a smart upgrade from a typical boat tour.
What you get for that money is also more than sightseeing. The package includes snacks (granola bar and chips), bottled water, and alcohol options like beers, wine, and prosecco, plus soft drinks. You also get fresh towels, a restroom on board, snorkeling equipment, and a SUP stand-up paddle board.
The main thing not included is a fuel surcharge. So plan to review that detail at booking, especially if you are comparing other charters.
Meet at Cala d’Or Marina and Settle In by 10:00

Your meeting point is Port Esportiu Marina de Cala d’Or, Puerto Deportivo, s/n, 07660 Cala d’or, Illes Balears, Spain. The start time is 10:00 am, and the cruise ends back at the same meeting point.
For timing, think of this as an 8-hour outing. That’s enough time to do several swims and still feel like you had a proper day, not a rushed hit-and-run. Also, it runs on a mobile ticket, offered in English, and confirmation arrives at booking.
One practical note: the tour is private, meaning only your group participates. Near public transportation helps if you are staying somewhere outside the marina area, but you’ll still want to plan to arrive early so you don’t feel rushed when boarding opens.
Stop 1 Cala Figuera: 2 Hours on a Rugged, Movie-Scene Coast
Cala Figuera gets you the classic southern Mallorca vibe: rugged coastline, open sea views, and that sense of being out there instead of in a busy beach strip. With 2 hours here, you have time to do more than a quick swim.
What this stop does well:
- You get a longer window to stretch your legs after the morning cruise.
- You can swim, snorkel, and take photos without feeling like you’re sprinting to the next point.
- You’re positioned on the southern side of the island, which usually keeps the coastline scenery feeling dramatic from the water.
If you’re the type who hates being rushed, this is the most comfortable stop in the day because of the full 2-hour block. If you’re traveling with kids, this is also where the day can become fun fast, since there’s time to test out the snorkeling or just float around for a bit.

Stop 2 Cala Llombards: A 1-Hour Scenic Cruise and Swim Break
After Cala Figuera, you roll into Cala Llombards with about 1 hour on the clock. This stop is built for relaxed sightseeing and a swim. It’s the kind of place where you do not need an agenda, just good water time and a chance to breathe in the coastal views.
The good part is the pacing. A short stop keeps the day from dragging. You get enough time to enjoy the water without losing the momentum that makes a speed-boat day special.
Possible drawback: if you’re hoping to swim for a long stretch at one location, you’ll want to use this stop as your “warm-up” swim and save your longer snorkel session for the cove stops later in the itinerary.
Stop 3 Calo des Moro: One Hour for Cove Calm and Snorkel Time
Calo des Moro is one of those coves where the water draws you in. With around 1 hour, this is a focused stop: anchor, swim, snorkel, take a few photos, then move on.
This is where the included water setup really pays off. Since you have snorkeling equipment and water toys like float noodles are commonly used for fun time in the water, you can make the most of the best conditions while you’re there. You’re not scrambling to find gear, and you’re not paying extra for every small add-on.
If you care about photos, arrive in the water early enough to catch the light while others are still getting sorted. If you care more about swimming, prioritize the first portion of the hour. Once the group rhythm builds, it can get busy.
Stop 4 Portocolom: Authentic Harbor Town Time Without the Big-Tour Chaos
Next up is Portocolom, a charming harbor town on Mallorca’s southeastern coast. You get about 1 hour here, and it’s different from the cove stops because it’s more about land time and local atmosphere.
This is a good balance stop:
- You can take a short walk and reset your sense of time after time on the water.
- You get maritime vibe and a feel for how a working-style harbor town lives.
- You still keep the day’s energy because you’re not far from the next water segment.
If you want something quiet but real, this is the part of the day that can make your photos feel more grounded than just beach shots.
Stop 5 Cala Marçal Near Portocolom: 1 Hour of Beach Relaxation
Cala Marçal is another beach stop, near Portocolom, with about 1 hour. It’s one of the more popular yet still calm-feeling beach spots in the area, so you get a balance of scenery and comfort.
This stop works well if:
- you want more beach time after Portocolom,
- you prefer to rinse off and reset before the return cruise,
- you’d like a final swim before heading back.
Use this hour to do your “I want one more dip” moment. If your family is traveling, this is often a good stop for letting everyone pick what they want to do without needing a big plan.
Board Life: Snacks, Drinks, Fresh Towels, WiFi, and a Bluetooth Speaker
One reason charters like this feel luxurious is that they handle the little stuff. On board, you’ll have bottled water, snacks like granola bar and chips, and drinks that go beyond soft drinks, including beers, wine, and prosecco.
There are also practical comforts:
- Fresh towels
- A restroom on board
- WiFi on board
- A wireless/Bluetooth speaker
I like this setup because it removes day-to-day decision-making. You can focus on swimming and enjoying the coastline. And the WiFi plus speaker combo is handy if your group wants to share photos or set a light music vibe without hauling anything around.
One more detail I appreciate: you have snorkeling equipment included, and you also have a SUP board. That means if your group has mixed preferences, you’re not stuck with only one activity option.
Crew and Service: When the Captain and Host Make the Day
This type of private cruise rises or falls on the people running it. In the past, the service I’ve seen connected to this operator style includes crews such as Kyriakos, Christina, Jessica, Adonis, Argy, and others like Vagelis, Vado, Evita, Dimitris, Dimitri, and Giota.
What stands out in their service approach is simple and practical: they keep things organized, they’re friendly, and they make sure you’re comfortable around each stop. In family groups, the mood tends to be especially positive, with kids getting excited about the boat and the plan, which is exactly what you want from a day on the water.
If you are booking as a group, take a moment at the start to say what you care about most, swimming, snorkeling, photos, or a calmer pace. A good crew can steer the day toward what your group actually wants.
Weather, Comfort, and Your Real-World Packing List
This experience requires good weather. If conditions are poor, it can be canceled and you’ll be offered another date or a full refund. So keep an eye on forecast day-of, and don’t book this as the one activity you absolutely cannot reschedule.
Comfort wise, remember it’s a speed-boat day. That can be great for quickly reaching coves, but it also means you should plan like you are on a boat, not on a floating lounge. If you’re prone to motion sickness, bring what you normally use.
Pack smart for a day that includes water time and towel service. You’ll want:
- swimwear and a spare dry layer,
- reef-safe sunscreen if you use it,
- sunglasses with a strap,
- a light cover-up for cruising time.
If you want to snorkel seriously, wear your mask early and practice getting in and out calmly. Even when the crew is helpful, the smoothest snorkel sessions come from being ready fast.
Who Should Book This Mallorca Speed-Boat Charter
This is best for groups who want a private day at sea with multiple swim stops and included gear. It’s a strong choice if you:
- are traveling with 2 to 8 people and want a shared experience,
- love snorkeling but do not want to handle equipment rental,
- want a blend of coves and a real harbor town,
- prefer a private schedule over joining a larger tour.
It’s not the best fit if you have mobility challenges. The tour specifically says it’s not recommended for travelers with mobility difficulties, likely because boarding and water access can be tricky. Also, if you want a full day of walking tours, this is not that kind of day. You’re on the water first.
If you are visiting Mallorca for the first time, this can be a high-impact way to understand the island from the sea without doing a long drive.
Should You Book This Mallorca Private Speed-Boat Day From Cala d’Or?
I think it’s a strong booking when you match the vibe: water time, coves, included gear, and a private schedule. The price is high, but it’s priced per group, so it can be good value when you fill the boat up to a realistic group size.
Book it if you want:
- multiple anchor stops in a single day,
- snorkeling and SUP without extra hassle,
- snacks and drinks included,
- an easy start at Cala d’Or and a return to the same marina.
Skip it if you want a slow, fully walk-based sightseeing day, or if mobility is a concern. Also, keep weather in mind since the day depends on it.
If you can handle a boat day and you want Mallorca’s coastline in a hands-on way, this is the kind of trip that turns into a true memory.
