“A fantastic day out! We went in June for the 10-3pm sailing and the staff were great, plenty of space and didn’t feel overcrowded. We went to 3 spots for swimming which were all beautiful. Multiple Ladders that go straight into the water which was good for family member who was not able to jump in. The music on board was great, very chilled vibes the whole day. Lunch was nice and fresh. Would definitely recommend for a fun day out in Alcudia. Ciara, Irish”

“This trip is well worth the money, the whole experience was amazing. All the staff were so efficient and friendly and could not do enough for you . The captain even made sure we saw a pod of whales . This is an experience I will never forgot . Snorkelling was a bit disappointing as no fish were seen but I think if the boat was anchored near a reef then it would be more likely. But after seeing the whales I honestly was not that bothered . I highly recommend doing this trip is nothing else”
Join captain Antonio from MPC Yacht Charter for a three-hour cruise from Los Gigantes. Look for pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, turtles, and seasonal whales, then swim or snorkel beneath the 600-meter cliffs. The small-group boat serves cold tapas, fruit, drinks, and lunch.
“This was a very enjoyable experience for my family. We were 7 people of all different ages and enjoyed it very much. The host was very accommodating and professional, and was a good guide. The snack assortment was very good as well. Overall a 10/10 experience. Beautiful views. We also saw a neighboring pirate ship with friendly people aboard. :) The only criticism we have is that the kids would have liked to have more time in the water (it was only about ~10 minutes of swimming)”
