Private boat tour Mallorca: southern beaches or Palma?
A private boat tour Mallorca offers two very different starting points: a wooden llaut from Sa Ràpita for the southern beaches, or a boat from Palma with a skipper and equipment for time in the water. The choice is about the coast and the kind of boat you want to spend time on. A family of four, six friends and a couple will also get very different value from the same group price.
For the south, the llaut keeps the party to six and puts you aboard a wooden boat rather than a large shared catamaran. From Palma, the private fastboat carries up to twelve and includes twelve sets of snorkelling gear, a paddleboard and a seascooter. Reserving that boat gives your friends or family the equipment and deck space as one party. These are concrete reasons to choose private on Mallorca: a small wooden charter for the southern coastline, or a boat arranged around your group's water activities.
A wooden llaut along the southern beaches
Meet at Club Nàutic Sa Ràpita, on Explanada del Puerto, for a private llaut charter lasting two to four hours. The wooden boat and southern beaches are the focus here. Water, soft drinks, fuel, snorkelling equipment and liability insurance are included. This is a good fit for a couple who particularly wants the wooden boat experience, or a family or circle of friends numbering up to six.
Sa Ràpita is also an access point for the Es Trenc natural park, where dunes and Posidonia seagrass are protected. Along this coast, the landscape is part of the attraction. Anchoring on Posidonia is prohibited in the park. Read more about the shore on the Es Trenc page.
The charter starts at €310 for up to six, plus a compulsory skipper payment: €125 for the half day, €250 for the full day or €75 for sunset. Split six ways, the €310 charter component is about €51.67 each, with the relevant skipper fee added separately. That distinction matters when comparing it with the Palma boats, whose skippers are included.

Four hours from Palma with water equipment
Fastboat for up to twelve
The private 500 hp fastboat starts at berth 279 in Palma. Over a four hour outing, the appeal is the combination of a powered boat and equipment for exploring the water: twelve snorkelling sets, a SUP paddleboard, a 1,000 W seascooter and a Subwing. A professional skipper is included, along with wetsuits for the cold season and a sound system. It suits friends who want water activities together, and larger family groups that would exceed the llaut's six guest limit.
At €450 per group, four people pay €112.50 each, six pay €75 each and twelve pay €37.50 each. For a private boat tour Palma de Mallorca is therefore especially attractive when several people can share the boat price. The berth meeting point also makes this a straightforward choice for visitors starting their outing in Palma.
Sailing boats or Flyer 7 for up to eleven
The other private Palma offer runs for four hours and starts at €855 per group of up to eleven. Sailing boat guests meet at Naviera Balear Marina; the Flyer 7 departs from Marina Palma Quarantine. Skipper, fuel, fees and taxes, snorkelling equipment and a paddleboard are included. The Oceanis 43 and 48 options add a clear kayak; the Flyer 7 has a Subwing and a Donut. Choose by the boat and equipment that appeal to your party.
This option suits a group wanting the sailing boat setting, or friends specifically drawn to the Flyer 7 equipment. Six people sharing €855 pay €142.50 each; nine pay €95 each. At the full eleven guest capacity, the equivalent is about €77.73 each. The included fuel, skipper and fees make those useful figures for a group deciding how much to allocate to the boat.
Small-group tours
For two people, shared sailing is the stronger budget choice: €170 for two at €85 per person, compared with €450 for the private fastboat. The shared sailing yacht carries a maximum of ten guests and runs for four hours, with midday or sunset departures. Meet at Club de Mar, Muelle Pelaires, fifteen minutes ahead. You get swimming, snorkelling gear, a paddleboard, light snacks with vegetarian and vegan options, plus cava, wine, beer and soft drinks. The skipper and crew share local stories along the way.
The shared catamaran is also four hours, at €109 per person. Meet at the entrance to D-Marin Palma Cuarentena ten minutes ahead. Spanish tapas, snorkelling equipment, floating devices and SUP boards make it a good choice for a couple wanting food alongside the water activities. Two places cost €218. For six friends, the same fare totals €654, compared with €450 for the private fastboat. These are starting-price comparisons with prices from October and November 2026.
Choose shared sailing for a lower total as a couple and the included snacks and drinks. Choose the shared catamaran for tapas. Choose the private fastboat when your group values having the boat together and can divide the charter price. For more ports and public departures, see Mallorca boat trips.
