Full description
Do you want to feel like a real sailor? This is your chance to sail the Mediterranean aboard a piece of Spanish history.
This tour around the bay of Palma will allow you to embark on the oldest sailing ship in Spain still active. It includes a stop for a swim, a barbecue with local products, water activities... Everything is prepared for you to enjoy the sea as before, but with all the comforts of today.
A 5 and a half hour experience with history, flavour and a lot of salt. Will you get on board?
What we will do
The appointment will be at the meeting point in the port of Palma, 15 minutes before the departure time. The crew who will accompany us on this experience will be waiting for us there.
We will get on board and, after a brief introduction about the route and the rules to follow, we will set sail to sail around the bay in the oldest sailing boat in Spain, still active, with almost 2 centuries of history. We will sail on a sailing boat built in 1841. An imposing vessel of 22 metres in length, restructured with many comforts such as a complete kitchen, music system, lounge in the old cargo hold... You will feel like you are part of history.
The sailing trip will start towards Punta Negra, skirting the coast of Calvià and passing by beautiful spots such as Cala Nova, Ses Illetes and Puerto Portals .
In front of this last point, we will make a long stop to enjoy the sea at our own pace: there will be time for swimming, snorkelling , kayaking and paddle surfing. The crew will prepare a barbecue on board with local products, followed by a typical dessert.
Afterwards, we will hoist the sails again to return quietly to the harbour, savouring every moment of this experience on board a unique boat .
The tour will last a total of 5 and a half hours.
