Palma from the Sea: Nautical Experiences in Style

When the sun reflects on the bay of Palma and the sea breeze caresses the ancient city walls, experiencing the Mediterranean becomes a true sensory luxury.

There’s nothing quite like enjoying the sea from the sea, and Palma’s marina, the Club Náutico, Es Portitxol, and surrounding boarding points become ideal places to start or end a day full of emotion.

From Es Princep, located next to the Baluard del Princep, we invite you to discover the city from a whole new perspective: sailing its waters on a private nautical adventure, surrounded by calm, beauty and comfort.

Sailing: An Unforgettable Experience

There are few more exclusive ways to explore Palma than aboard a sailboat or catamaran. Just a short distance from the hotel, companies such as Sailing Trips Mallorca or CheckYeti offer all-inclusive departures: professional skipper, snorkelling gear, paddle surf, drinks, and even onboard dining if desired.

Private half-day tours (4 hours) usually range between €600 and €800 per group (up to 10 people), while sunset sails —about 2.5 hours— start from €450, a perfect choice for couples or small celebrations with a drink in hand as the sun goes down.

Palma from the Water: Light, Calm and the Mediterranean

From the boat, exclusive views of Palma Cathedral (La Seu), Parc de la Mar, Castell de Bellver and the coves lining the island’s southern coast unfold. Many excursions include stops in stunning spots like Cala Vella or Portals Vells, ideal for swimming in turquoise waters and enjoying private snorkelling.

Onboard, the vibe is serene and elegant: cushions, shade, ice, soft music and personalised service. Everything is designed so your only task is to relax and enjoy.

Paddle Surf and Snorkelling in Crystal-Clear Waters

In addition to sailing, many boats include paddleboarding and snorkelling, perfect for immersing yourself in Mallorca’s natural surroundings. Equipment is often included, and skippers know the best spots to anchor away from the crowds.

For those looking for something more active, there are also combined water sports experiences available through platforms such as GetYourGuide.

Plan Your Day at Sea from Es Princep

Thanks to the hotel’s privileged location —in the heart of the Old Town and just minutes from the port— organising your excursion is easy. We recommend booking in advance, especially during high season. Our reception team will be happy to help you plan a tailor-made experience.

After your time at sea, there’s nothing better than returning to solid ground and indulging at our Spa Cocó, enjoying a cocktail at Gremium Bar, or finishing the day at the Es Princep Rooftop, with Palma at your feet.
