Boat day trip with drinks and lunch

Experience a scenic boat day from Cala Ratjada with swimming stops, delicious food, and drinks included—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the Balearic views.

If you’re considering a day on the water while in Mallorca, the Boat Day Trip with Drinks and Lunch offered by MALLORCA DREAMS could be just what you’re after. This 5.5-hour adventure promises stunning views, refreshing swims, and a tasty meal—all aboard a comfortable 20-meter boat. While it’s not a full-day extravaganza, it packs enough highlights to make it worthwhile, especially if you’re looking for a relaxed, scenic outing that covers the essentials.

Two things we really like about this experience are its well-organized stops for swimming, giving you a chance to cool off in crystal-clear waters, and the included food and drinks, which means no extra costs or hassle during the trip. But a potential consideration is the age restriction — children under 5 aren’t allowed, and kids under 13 can’t be on the sun deck. So, it’s not ideal for families with very young children or anyone prone to seasickness. That said, if you’re after a laid-back day soaking up views and enjoying good company, this tour could be a great choice.

This experience suits travelers who appreciate scenic boat rides, good value for money, and a chance to unwind. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends who enjoy the water, it offers a memorable way to enjoy Mallorca’s coast without the fuss of planning multiple activities.

Boat day trip with drinks and lunch - What We Think About the Downsides

The main thing to keep in mind is the age restriction—children under five aren’t allowed, and those under 13 can’t be on the sun deck. This rules out families with very young kids looking for a full-family experience. Also, since the tour involves being on a boat for several hours, it might not be suited for people who easily get seasick.

Another consideration is the limited space and the absence of certain items like large luggage, so don’t plan to carry big bags or gear onboard. If you’re expecting a lively party atmosphere, this probably isn’t the right fit—they emphasize a more relaxed, comfort-focused outing.
