Mallorca: Alcudia, Private Boat Tour to Formentor & Pollensa

Imagine gliding along Mallorca’s stunning coastline on a traditional boat, with the freedom to customize your route, take dips in crystal-clear waters, and sample local treats. That’s exactly what this private boat tour offers, and it’s a fantastic way to explore the scenic bays of Alcudia and Pollença without the hustle of larger groups. It’s a flexible, intimate experience designed for those who love the water and appreciate a tailored adventure.

What really makes this tour stand out are two things we love: the exclusive nature of the experience, meaning you’ll have the whole boat just for your group, and the flexibility to choose your route and stops. Plus, the chance to snorkel and swim in some quiet coves is a real bonus. On the flip side, a potential consideration is that the tour is strictly limited to certain age and health restrictions, which might affect families with very young children or travelers with specific health needs.

This experience suits travelers looking for a relaxed, private day on the water with a personal touch—ideal for couples, friends, or small groups wanting a bit of adventure without the crowds. If you’re after a more custom, up-close look at Mallorca’s coast, this could be just the ticket.

Exploring the Experience: A Closer Look

Choosing a private boat tour like this offers a rare chance to avoid the busy, often crowded tours. Instead, you get the entire vessel — a well-made, stable traditional Mallorcan boat called a llaut — just for your group. That means you can relax, move freely, and truly enjoy the scenic beauty without feeling rushed or crowded. The boat’s design promises a smooth ride, making it easier to unwind and take in the views.

Departure Point and Logistics

You’ll meet at Pier 299 at Puerto de Bonaire, right next to a restaurant. The start times are flexible, with a typical duration of around 3 hours, which is enough to see multiple spots without feeling hurried. Keep in mind that the tour isn’t suitable for children under 6, pregnant women, or travelers with mobility issues due to safety reasons. Transportation to the pier isn’t included, so plan ahead to arrive on time.

The Itinerary

The tour begins at SeaMallorcaTrips, with your captain ready to take you on a personalized journey along Mallorca’s coast. The main stops include Punta Corrent, Illa de Formentor, and Formenter Beach, among others. Each location offers chances to swim, snorkel, and marvel at scenic views.

• Punta Corrent: A quiet spot perfect for a dip or snorkel, with scenic views along the way. It’s a good introduction to Mallorca’s protected bays.
• Illa de Formentor: Known for its dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters, this island is a highlight for swimming and exploring.
• Formenter Beach: A beautiful, less-accessible beach ideal for relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings.
• Additional Stops: The itinerary is flexible, so you might find yourself exploring lesser-known coves or quiet beaches if you prefer.

What You’ll Do

Once on board, the captain will suggest some routes, but you’re encouraged to customize based on your interests. Love snorkeling? You can spend more time in the calmer, clearer waters. Want to sample local products? The crew will provide snacks and drinks, giving you a taste of Mallorcan flavors while you sail.

The included snorkeling gear makes it easy to dip into the water without worrying about equipment. And because the boat is stable and designed for smooth sailing, it’s comfortable even if the sea isn’t perfectly flat.

Price and Value

At $201 per person, the price might seem high compared to larger group tours, but keep in mind that it includes the boat rental, fuel, snorkeling gear, and a captain. Since it’s private, you’re not sharing the experience with strangers, which adds a layer of comfort and flexibility. If you’re traveling with a small group or a partner, this can be a cost-effective way to enjoy a tailored Mallorca adventure.

Practical Considerations

Since the tour is strictly for small groups (up to 4 people per booking), it’s perfect for couples or close friends. The exclusivity means you get undivided attention from your captain, who’s experienced and friendly. However, because the tour isn’t suitable for children under 6 or those with serious health conditions, if you’re traveling with young kids or need specific accommodations, this might not be the best fit.

Remember to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a towel — essential for a day under Mallorca’s sun. The activity can be canceled or rescheduled due to weather, so keep an eye on the forecast and confirm your booking closer to your planned date.
