One of the most unforgettable ways to experience Mallorca is from the water. With its dramatic coastline, hidden coves, and turquoise bays, the island is made for exploring by boat—and there’s no shortage of options to suit every kind of traveller.
Whether you’re staying in the north, south, or west, you’ll find a wide selection of independent boat companies offering everything from relaxing catamaran cruises and glass-bottom boat tours to thrilling speedboat adventures and tranquil dolphin-spotting trips at sunrise.
Many of these excursions depart from popular areas like Palma, Alcúdia, Colònia de Sant Jordi, and Paguera, making it easy to find a trip that’s close to your villa. You can book directly with the companies we feature or ask us for recommendations. From family-friendly days out to romantic evening sails, these local operators offer a brilliant way to see Mallorca from a new perspective—while supporting small businesses that know and love the coastline they call home.
