Mallorca looks different from a small speedboat. I love the freedom of private cove-hopping, and I love that snorkeling gear and SUP are included. One consideration: it is a day built around water stops and getting on and off the boat, so it is not recommended for travelers with mobility difficulties.

Starting at 10:00 am from Port Esportiu Marina de Cala d’Or, this feels like a full day on your terms, not a tight group shuffle. You’ll cruise between standout bays on the south and southeast coast, with time to swim, paddle, and take photos, and you’ll likely hear plenty of local context from crews like Kyriakos and Jessica that show up in guest accounts.

Key points before you go

• Private charter for up to 8: intimate pace, your group only, and a boat sized for in-between-the-coves access.
• Snorkeling gear plus SUP included: you can do more than float and watch the world go by.
• Longer stop at Cala Figuera (2 hours): you get real time to enjoy rugged views and a quiet coastal feel.
• Tasty on-board basics: snacks (granola bar, chips), bottled water, and drinks like beers, wine, and prosecco.
• Restroom and WiFi on board: small comforts that matter on a long 8-hour day.
• Fuel surcharge not included: budget for that add-on when you price the final bill.

Speedboat Day: why the 10:00 am start works so well

This is scheduled for a full day at sea, starting at 10:00 am and running around 8 hours. You meet at Port Esportiu Marina de Cala d’Or, Puerto Deportivo, s/n, 07660 Cala d’Or, Illes Balears, Spain, and the trip ends back at the same meeting point.

That early start is smart because it gives you daylight for swimming and paddle time, without feeling like you’re racing the sunset. It also helps you reach the smaller coves before the beach scene gets busy, which is the whole point of this style of tour.

Cala Figuera (2 hours): rugged views and a quieter kind of Mallorca

Cala Figuera is your first main stop, and the timing is generous at 2 hours. This southern corner of Mallorca is known for rugged coastline and striking sea views, with small, unspoiled-feeling villages nearby.

What I like about this stop is the balance. You’re not forced into a single activity the entire time. You can swim if the water is inviting, take photos along the cliffs and harbor area, and simply watch how the coast changes as the boat shifts positions.

One watch-out: because it’s rugged and coastal, it can feel like more sun and less shade than you might expect. If you’re traveling with kids or anyone heat-sensitive, plan your breaks and bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) just like you would for a full day outdoors.

Cala Llombards (1 hour) and Calo des Moro (1 hour): short stops that maximize water time

After Cala Figuera, you get a calmer cruise moment with Cala Llombards for about 1 hour. Cala Llombards is all about relaxed, scenic cruising and enjoying Mallorca’s south coast without rushing through a checklist.

Then you move to Calo des Moro for another 1 hour, and this is where the day turns into a swim-and-photo kind of segment. It’s described as one of Mallorca’s most beautiful natural spots, and guests highlight the appeal of peaceful solitude and great photo angles.

Here’s the practical takeaway for your day. Two 1-hour stops can feel short on land, but on a boat day they are often perfect. The coves are the main event, and the time you spend in the water with gear included is what you’ll remember.

If you want the best experience at these stops, think in terms of a simple rhythm: short swim, quick paddle if you’re using the SUP, then photos while the light is good. And if you’re not a swimmer, you’ll still enjoy the views from the boat’s position while the others are in the water.

Portocolom (1 hour): a more authentic, local harbor moment

Next up is Portocolom, also about 1 hour. This is a charming harbor town on Mallorca’s southeastern coast, and it’s known as a more authentic, peaceful fishing village.

Why this stop is valuable is simple. After a day of coves, you get a different mood. Instead of cliffy water views only, you get maritime life and a laid-back Mediterranean feel centered on the harbor.

One limitation to keep in mind: 1 hour is enough for a quick walk, photos, and a snack if you want one, but it is not long enough to treat it like a full town visit. If you love lingering, you’ll likely want to come back by land later, because the harbor vibe is the kind you can easily enjoy at a slower pace.

Cala Marçal (1 hour): popular beach energy with a calmer feel

Your next stop is Cala Marçal, near Portocolom, for about 1 hour. It’s described as popular yet tranquil, with calm waters and scenic surroundings.

This is a great match after Portocolom. If Portocolom feels like the town side of the day, Cala Marçal is the beach side. It’s where you can settle into the water again, swim at a gentler pace, and enjoy the view without the same rugged intensity as some of the cliff coves.

Again, 1 hour is a “hit the beach, enjoy the water, then move on” block. If you plan to snorkel, do it early in the stop so you’re not scrambling when the light shifts or if the wind picks up.

Marina De Cala d’Or: the simple end to a long day

The day wraps with a return to Marina De Cala d’Or. Your schedule lists a very short listed time for this final segment, around 2 minutes, which likely reflects the boat docking and getting you back to where you started.

The practical meaning: you should plan to keep your focus on the itinerary timing, especially for earlier stops. Once you’re back, you’ll be ready to shower, change, and head into dinner plans without needing to find a new base.

What’s actually included on board (and why it matters)

This is a private full day cruise on a speedboat format, so the on-board inclusions are part of the value, not just freebies.

Here’s what you get included:

• Snacks: granola bar and chips
• Drinks: soft drinks, beers, wine, and prosecco
• Bottled water
• Snorkeling equipment and SUP stand up paddling board
• Fresh towels
• Restroom on board
• WiFi on board
• Wireless or Bluetooth speaker

You also get all fees and taxes included, but there is a fuel surcharge not included. That means the final cost can be slightly more than the headline price, so budget for it rather than assuming the number you see is the entire bill.

Why these inclusions feel good in real life:

• Towels and restroom help on a long water day.
• WiFi and speaker sound small, but they make the boat time feel more like a hangout than a chore.
• Snorkeling gear and SUP mean your “what do we do next” question stays simple.

Some reviews also mention extra floating aids like noodles along with snorkelling gear, which fits the overall idea that this trip is set up for casual water play, not technical training.

The crew vibe: attentive service you can feel fast

The service is one of the most praised parts of this experience. In guest notes, named crew members show up again and again, including Kyriakos and Jessica, Kyriakos and Christina, Adonis and Argy, plus other combinations like Vagelis and Vado, Evita and Dimitris, and Dimitri and Giota. Lisa is also mentioned as part of organizing.

What stands out in those accounts is not just friendliness. It’s the sense that the team is watching the group and adjusting the day for comfort, whether that means taking care of food and drinks side, answering questions as you cruise, or making sure everyone has the gear they need.

One little detail that matters: crews are described as professional and confident, and they guide you to the right kinds of places along the coast. That matters most on a speedboat day, where you want smooth handling and efficient stopping.

Price and value: $1,878.42 per group for up to 8

The price is $1,878.42 per group, up to 8 people, for an approx 8-hour private day. That sounds high if you compare it to public boat tours, but it’s different math.

If you fill the boat with 8 people, it works out to about $235 per person. For that, you’re not just paying for transportation. You’re paying for:

• Private access to coves along Mallorca’s south and southeast coast
• Snorkeling equipment and a SUP board
• Towels, snacks, and drinks including beers, wine, and prosecco
• Restroom on board and WiFi
• A crew that handles the pace and the service

The fuel surcharge not included is the only clear “surprise” item to watch. And because the tour requires good weather, you should be ready for schedule changes if conditions are rough.

My take: this is best value when you have a full group, or when the alternative is paying for multiple separate experiences (swim spots, boat time, equipment rentals, and food). If you’re traveling as a family of 4 to 6, it can still feel like a solid splurge because it replaces an entire day of planning.

How to plan your day so it feels relaxed

Even though it’s private, this is still an 8-hour day with multiple stops. That means your best strategy is to keep expectations simple and let the sea set the pace.

A few practical moves:

• Eat and drink early before you meet, since this is a day on the water with included snacks and drinks rather than a full meal schedule.
• Bring sun protection and something light for after swimming, because you’ll be exposed for long stretches.
• If you want the best snorkeling experience, plan to use your gear during the calmer cove windows, not right before you’re due to move on.
• Decide ahead of time who will use the SUP and when, so no one feels like they’re waiting for gear or space.

Also, if anyone in your group has mobility challenges, I would treat the “not recommended” note seriously. Getting in and out of coves, stepping around on a boat, and changing positions quickly is just part of this style of charter.

Who this private speedboat day suits best

This tour fits best if you want a day that feels personal, not crowded. You’ll like it if you care about:

• Private access to Mallorca’s coves
• Swimming time that starts quickly and continues through multiple bays
• Included gear so you’re not hunting rentals
• A crew that brings local knowledge and handles the day for you

It also works for families. One reason is the “water toys and gear included” approach, with enough variety that kids can be excited without you needing to run a full itinerary. Even in guest accounts where kids participated, the mood sounds like playful discovery rather than strict scheduling.

If you’re the type who hates feeling rushed, the longer 2-hour block at Cala Figuera helps. You also get enough shorter stops to sample several places without losing the whole day to transit.

Should you book this Mallorca speedboat charter?

Book it if you want the classic Mallorca “coves and coast” day, but with a private group of up to 8 and built-in snorkeling and SUP. The value makes sense when you split the group cost and you’ll actually use the water time, not just watch from the deck.

Skip it or think twice if mobility issues might make boat transfers difficult, or if you know you get stressed by day-of-weather uncertainty. Since it needs good weather, you’ll want flexible plans and a calm attitude about rescheduling if conditions force a change.

If you do book, plan to enjoy the stops as moments, not homework. Cala Figuera sets the rugged tone, Cala Llombards and Calo des Moro are your water-heavy highlights, and Portocolom plus Cala Marçal add the harbor and beach contrast that makes the day feel like more than just swimming.
