A Deep Dive Into the Experience

When considering a sailing tour in Palma Bay, the first thing you notice is the boat itself.

These yachts provide ample space for a small group, ensuring everyone gets a good view and personal attention from the skipper.

The four-hour duration strikes a nice balance—long enough to feel like a proper sea adventure but not so lengthy that it becomes tiring. You’ll begin at the RCNP (Real Club Náutico Palma), a private club with a quiet ambiance that keeps the focus on your outing. Guests are advised to arrive at the meeting point by walking or taking the club’s van, which is available during operational hours.
