Boat day trip with drinks and lunch

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.

The boat journey itself covers some impressive scenery, with panoramic views of Mallorca’s coastline. As you sail, you’ll enjoy the sights of the island from a unique vantage point, making for some fantastic photo opportunities.
