A catamaran cruise is the number one most-booked experience in Palma de Mallorca, and it's easy to see why. Sailing along the stunning coastline of the Bay of Palma offers a perspective of the city you simply can't get from land — the Gothic cathedral rising above the harbour, the turquoise waters of hidden coves, and the golden light of a Mediterranean sunset.

Palma's catamaran fleet includes vessels from 15 to 80 passengers, ranging from intimate sunset sails with live music to full-day adventures with BBQ, snorkelling, and stops at secluded beaches. Catamarans are more stable than sailboats, making them ideal for families and those prone to seasickness.

Prices range from €40-75 per person depending on duration and inclusions. Most cruises include drinks (open bar on sunset cruises), snorkelling equipment, and towels. Children under 3 typically sail free.
