Your ship is in Palma for the day? Swap the coach tour for four hours on the Mediterranean. Swim, snorkel and enjoy tapas with a small group, starting at La Lonja Marina in the heart of Palma. You'll be back in time to see the cathedral and the old town before all aboard.
SailPalma runs 4-hour small group catamaran tours (max. 12 guests) from La Lonja Marina in Palma de Mallorca. The marina is about 10 minutes by taxi from the cruise terminal and a 5-minute walk from the cathedral and the old town. In the 2027 season the last morning tour leaves at 10:30 and the last afternoon tour at 15:30, so 92% of cruise passengers calling at Palma have a tour that fits their time in port. A welcome drink, Mallorcan tapas, water, SUP boards and snorkel gear are included, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure.
Departures between 09:00 and 10:30, back at the marina four hours later. Ideal if your ship docks early. Max. 12 guests with welcome drink, tapas, swimming, SUP and snorkelling.

Cruise ships dock at Palma's terminals west of the city centre. From there, a taxi takes about 10 minutes to Muelle de la Lonja, where our catamarans are moored right on the seafront promenade.
After the tour, Palma Cathedral (La Seu) and the old town are a 5-minute walk away. You can easily combine a morning on the water with lunch, shopping or sightseeing before heading back to your ship.
Our rule of thumb from season planning: cruise passengers usually reach the marina about two hours after their ship arrives, and should be back on board about 1.5 hours before it leaves. Always check the all-aboard time in your ship's daily programme.
An example: a ship that docks at 08:00 and leaves at 18:00 fits the 10:30 morning tour comfortably. You are back at the marina at 14:30 and still have time for the old town.
Bring swimwear, a towel and sun protection, as towels are not provided. Beer, wine and spirits are available from the bar on board.
Send us your ship and date on WhatsApp. We'll tell you which departure fits and help you book.
About 10 minutes by taxi. Ask the driver for "Muelle de la Lonja" or "Passeig Sagrera", where the drop-off point is right next to the marina. From there it is a 5-minute walk to the cathedral and the old town.
The Small Group Tour lasts 4 hours and ends at La Lonja Marina. Plan to be back on board about 1.5 hours before your ship leaves, and check the all-aboard time in your daily programme. If your day in port is short, ask us about a private trip with a custom start time.
Morning tours depart between 09:00 and 10:30, afternoon tours up to 15:30. Check the ship table on this page, or send us your ship and date on WhatsApp and we'll recommend the right departure.
Yes. Cancellations made more than 24 hours before departure receive a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable, so we recommend travel insurance that covers activities.
