Full-day sailing excursion along the coast

Mallorca’s coast is famous for its striking beauty, and a full-day sailing excursion offers a fantastic way to see it from a different perspective. While I haven’t personally been on this exact trip, I’ve researched thoroughly to give you an honest, detailed rundown of what you can expect. If you’re dreaming of sun, sea, and some memorable water adventures, this might be just the experience for you.

What I particularly like about this tour is how it combines a relaxed day on a well-equipped sailboat with visits to some of the island’s most pristine spots — like Cala Tuent and Sa Calobra — all in one day. Plus, the opportunity to snorkel and paddleboard right from the boat means you can really feel like you’re part of the scenery.

That said, a potential downside is that this is a private tour with a set price, which might be on the higher side if you’re a solo traveler on a tight budget. But for groups or families, it offers good value when you split the cost.

This kind of experience is ideal if you love being on the water, enjoy scenic landscapes, and want a mix of relaxation and activity. It suits travelers looking for a more private, personalized day out rather than a crowded boat tour.

What to Expect from the Full-Day Sailing Excursion

Setting Off from Port de Sóller

Your adventure begins at FERGUS Style Soller Beach, a convenient spot with easy access. From there, you’ll board a well-equipped sailboat designed for comfort and fun. The crew is attentive and dedicated to making your day memorable. You’ll ideally want to arrive a little early to settle in, and be prepared for an approximately 8-hour day on the water, depending on the route and conditions.

The Route Choices: Northeast or Southwest

Once on board, you’ll choose between two main routes. The northeast route takes you toward Cala Tuent, Sa Calobra, and possibly Sa Costera, depending on sea conditions. This route is perfect if you’re into exploring virgin coves and enjoying quiet beaches. The southwest route heads to Cala Deia and Sa Foradada, offering views of turquoise waters and a unique rock formation with a large hole in it, which has given Sa Foradada its name.

The Highlights at Each Stop

Cala Tuent is a quiet, pine-fringed cove where you can jump into the water for swimming or try snorkeling and paddleboarding. The waters are clear, and you’ll have enough time (around three hours) to relax on the boat or explore the shoreline. Many reviews highlight how peaceful and beautiful this spot is — a true escape from the more crowded areas.

Sa Calobra is perhaps the most famous of the stops, renowned for its dramatic cliffs and crystalline waters. Again, three hours here give you a good window for swimming, water sports, or simply soaking up the scenery. Travelers often mention how well-organized the water sports equipment is, making it easy to jump in and enjoy.

Cala Deia and Sa Foradada are the southwest options, offering smaller, turquoise coves and impressive geology. If you love scenic vistas, Sa Foradada’s large hole in the rock is a photo-worthy highlight. The boat will anchor conveniently, allowing you to enjoy the surroundings at your leisure.

Water Sports and Relaxation

The inclusion of snorkeling and paddleboarding gear is a big plus. We loved the way the tour balances adventure and relaxation — you can take a peaceful swim or get active with a paddle. The boat’s large deck and shaded seats mean you can lounge comfortably, enjoying the sun or shade as you prefer.

Food and Drinks

The trip includes drinks for the day, which could mean anything from water to soft drinks. While not specified explicitly, most travelers report that the experience offers a laid-back vibe with enough refreshments to stay hydrated. If you’re hungry, you might want to bring some snacks, as the boat doesn’t mention providing meals, just drinks.

The Crew and Guides

Reviewers praise the guides for being attentive and knowledgeable. One review specifically mentions how their guide was “really attentive and not at all invasive,” which makes a big difference on a day when you want to feel relaxed and looked after. Such professionalism helps elevate what could be just a pretty boat ride into a truly enjoyable experience.

Analyzing the Cost

At around $1,335 for a group of up to 8 people, the price might seem steep at first glance. But when you consider that it’s a private tour with all the water sports equipment, refreshments, and a dedicated crew, it’s fairly competitive for a bespoke day on Mallorca’s coast. The value really shines if you’re traveling with friends or family, as you split the cost and get a tailored experience.

It’s worth noting that most travelers book about 43 days in advance, which indicates high demand, and the flexibility on weather is a bonus — if conditions aren’t right, you’ll get a different date or refund.

Who This Tour Is Best For

This sailing trip is suited for those who want a more exclusive, flexible day at sea. If you’re someone who appreciates quiet beauty, loves water sports, or enjoys a private setting, you’ll find plenty to love here. It’s also great for travelers who don’t mind paying a little extra for comfort, personalized service, and the chance to explore Mallorca’s coastline in style.

While children are provided with life jackets, the experience is best suited for those comfortable on boats and interested in water activities. If you’re traveling with specific needs or very young kids, double-check with the provider.

The Sum Up

This full-day sailing excursion offers a wonderful way to experience Mallorca’s stunning coastline without feeling like you’re on a crowded tour.

The knowledgeable guides and well-chosen routes ensure you’ll see the best spots while enjoying some peace and quiet away from busy beaches.
