Setting Sail from Port d’Alcudia

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that blend relaxation with a touch of adventure, and the Mallorca Catamaran Cruise seemed like the perfect fit. The day began at the picturesque Port d’Alcudia, where the catamaran awaited us. The kids were buzzing with excitement, and I was eager to see how this cruise would unfold.

The catamaran was spacious, with plenty of room for families to spread out and enjoy the journey. As we set sail, the gentle breeze and the sound of the waves created a soothing atmosphere. The crew was friendly and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and ready for the adventure ahead. We cruised along the coast, passing by the largest bay in Mallorca, and the views were nothing short of spectacular. The kids were thrilled to spot dolphins playing in the distance, a delightful surprise that added to the magic of the day.

Discovering Hidden Gems

Our first stop was the secluded Coll Baix Beach, a hidden gem that felt like a private paradise. The crystal-clear waters beckoned us to take a dip, and the kids couldn’t wait to jump in. We spent a blissful 20 minutes swimming and snorkeling, exploring the vibrant marine life beneath the surface. It was a perfect opportunity for the kids to learn about the local ecosystem, turning a fun activity into an educational experience.

Back on board, we continued our journey towards the Bay of Pollensa, where we anchored near the Formentor Peninsula. The crew prepared a delicious barbecue meal, and we enjoyed a leisurely lunch with stunning views all around. The kids loved the pasta salad and fresh fruit, while I savored the barbecued meat. With two complimentary drinks included, it was a delightful way to unwind and soak in the beauty of Mallorca’s north coast.

Adventure and Relaxation Combined

The highlight of the cruise was our stop at Cala Engosalba, a secluded paradise where we had plenty of time to engage in various water activities. The kids tried paddleboarding for the first time, and their laughter echoed across the water as they attempted to balance on the boards. Meanwhile, I took the opportunity to relax on the catamaran’s nets, enjoying the sun and the gentle sway of the boat.

As we sailed back towards Port Alcudia, the crew raised the sails, and we glided gracefully across the water. The kids were fascinated by the process, and it was a wonderful chance to teach them about sailing. The final stop near Aucanada Beach offered one last swim before we returned to the port, and it was the perfect way to end a memorable day.

The Mallorca Catamaran Cruise was a fantastic family adventure, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, and education. It’s an experience I highly recommend to families looking to create lasting memories in Mallorca.
