About this tour
When Noah from our BugBitten team boarded this catamaran out of Port d'Alcúdia, it delivered exactly what a Mediterranean cruise should: coastline, water time, and lunch without the fuss. You sail past the Aucanada lighthouse and dramatic cliffs, drop anchor at the secluded Coll Baix beach for a swim, then head to a cove in Pollença Bay where lunch lands while you snorkel or kayak. It's a solid five hours of Majorcan coast — relaxed pacing, no surprises, and the kind of day that works for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
Highlights
- Coll Baix beach: genuinely tucked away, crystalline water, proper swim time
- Snorkel gear and kayaks thrown in at no extra cost
- Lunch served aboard with beer and sangria — no skimping
- Aucanada lighthouse and cliff coastline frames decent photo moments
- Two separate swim stops means you're not rushed either time
- Small-group catamaran feel — no mega-ship crowds
- Suited to all fitness levels; prams and kids' lap sitting catered for
What to expect
You'll settle in once aboard and sail out into the bay fairly promptly. The first leg along the coast is scenic rather than wild — you're sightseeing, essentially, gliding past rocky headlands and that photogenic lighthouse. Coll Baix arrives after maybe an hour and the anchor drops. The beach itself is quiet and the water inviting; most of us splashed about for a good stretch here. Then it's back on board and across to Pollença Bay, where the real leisure kicks in. While the crew plates up lunch (grilled chicken, sausage, salad, pasta, fruit), you've got snorkel equipment and kayak boards ready to use. It's smart design — you're occupied while hungry folks prep a meal. Lunch is unpretentious but solid, with cold drinks flowing. A final swim afterwards, then a gentle motor back to port by 15:00. The pacing suits people who want activity without intensity.

Good to know
This trip genuinely delivers on the promise of swimming in pristine water and eating lunch at sea without it feeling rushed or overbooked. The inclusion of snorkel gear and kayaks pushes the value up, and two swim stops mean there's no pressure to skip one. Works well for families (prams welcome, little ones sit on a lap), and the catamaran is stable enough that wobbly sailors should be fine. Public transport gets you to Port d'Alcúdia easily.
Five hours is the full day, so an early start is baked in — not ideal if you're slow to wake. The lunch menu is functional rather than gourmet (chicken, sausage, salad, pasta), so if you've got dietary needs beyond that, check ahead. Snorkelling gear is provided but basic; bring your own mask if you're fussy. May be choppy if the bay's swell picks up, and sun exposure is real — you're on water most of the day. Crowds build in peak summer, so May or September are smarter. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and a rash vest if you burn easy.
