Mallorca's coast runs from the yacht marinas of the south-west to the wild cliffs of the north, and most of what's worth doing there happens on the water. Eleven ways to get out on the sea, priced from €25 to €320:
- Jet ski — Puerto Portals and Alcúdia
- Boat rental — no licence needed
- Catamaran sailing school — Bay of Pollença
- Sport fishing
- Kitesurfing
- Diving
- Wakeboard cable park
- Two classic day cruises
Two jet-ski routes, two boat-rental fleets and three ways to spend a day at sea without a licence — here is how they compare before you book.
How much does a jet ski cost on Mallorca?
A jet ski on Mallorca costs €90 for 60 minutes at Puerto Portals or €85 for 90 minutes at Alcúdia, both per jet ski for up to two riders, no licence needed. Which coast fits depends on scenery and time: shorter and glamorous in the south-west, longer and wilder in the north.
Puerto Portals — the south-west coast
The 60-minute tour from Puerto Portals costs €90 per jet ski (up to 2 riders) with an instructor leading the whole route, so no licence or experience is required. You ride past the cliffs and calas towards the Bay of Palma and stop to swim in a turquoise cove before heading back.
Alcúdia — Cap de Formentor
The 90-minute tour from Port d'Alcúdia costs €85 per jet ski (up to 2 riders), also licence-free and guided. It runs past sheer cliffs and sea caves on the north coast all the way to Cap de Formentor, with a stop to swim in clear water.
Important
both jet-ski prices are per jet ski, not per person — a couple pays €90 at Puerto Portals or €85 at Alcúdia total, and a group of four needs two jet skis: €180 at Puerto Portals or €170 at Alcúdia in total.
Can you rent a boat on Mallorca without a licence?
Yes — both of the island's big rental fleets keep licence-free motorboats alongside skippered options, and they book by the boat, not by the head, so the per-person cost drops fast in a full group.
Palma — On Charter
On Charter, based in the Palma de Mallorca marina, rents a fleet of motorboats and yachts for €320 per boat for a full 8-hour day, for up to 10 guests, with or without a licence and skipper. The route runs to the caves of Portals Vells, the islet of El Toro and dozens of turquoise calas along the Bay of Palma and the south-west coast.
Mallorca 4 Boat
Mallorca 4 Boat rents licence-free motorboats and skippered yachts for €260 per boat, also for a full 8-hour day, for up to 8 guests — a smaller, cheaper fleet aimed at families and first-time boaters who want to anchor in hidden calas and swim at their own pace.
Sailing, fishing, kite and diving on the north coast
Port de Pollença and Port d'Alcúdia, on Mallorca's north coast, cover four more ways to be on the water: a catamaran-sailing school, a fishing charter, kitesurf and wing-foil lessons and a PADI dive centre.
Catamaran sailing in Pollença
Sail&Surf Pollença, on the beach at Port de Pollença, runs catamaran and dinghy lessons for €59 per 2-hour session, for up to 4 people. Steady, gentle winds in the sheltered Bay of Pollença — with the Formentor peninsula as a backdrop — make it a good spot for a first tack, and experienced sailors can rent a boat and go out alone; the Mallorca sailing page sets out what the session includes.
Sport fishing
Fishing Mallorca, sailing from Port d'Alcúdia, takes up to 6 anglers out for €140 per person over a 5-hour trip with captain Vince Riera. You troll open water and bottom-fish the reefs for tuna, dorado, dentex and amberjack, with grouper often in the mix; rods, reels, bait and tackle are all included.
Kitesurf and wing-foil
Cuatro Vientos Mallorca, on Alcúdia Bay, teaches kitesurf and wing-foil for €90 per 2-hour session, for up to 4 people, with the latest gear included. The bay's steady thermal winds and shallow, warm water make it a beginner-friendly spot to learn either sport, and the kitesurf and wing-foil page explains how the two-hour session runs.
Diving in Pollença
Scuba Mallorca, a PADI 5-star centre in Port de Pollença, runs try-dives from €75 per person for a 3-hour outing, in groups of up to 8. The north coast's clear water holds caves, healthy reefs and protected Posidonia meadows, with groupers, barracuda and octopus common sights; the Mallorca diving page sets out what the try-dive price covers.
Wakeboarding and boat trips without your own boat
Three more ways to spend a day at sea near Alcúdia and Palma need no boat of your own and no group booking in advance.
Wakeboard cable park
The Mallorca Wakepark, near Alcúdia, costs €25 per 1-hour session, for up to 8 riders, with boards, helmets and impact vests included. An overhead cable tows you across the lagoon, so no boat and no fuel are needed — coaching for first-timers, kickers and rails for confident riders; the wakeboarding page shows what a €25 session covers.
Catamaran day cruise
Magic Catamarans sails a big, stable catamaran out of Palma de Mallorca for €55 per person over a 5-hour day, with music, drinks and tapas on board. It runs family-friendly by day and leans party on the sunset sailings, stopping to swim and snorkel in clear coves along the way.
Speedboat to the calas
The La Cala speedboat tour departs Cala Ratjada on the north-east coast for €49 per person over 3 hours, for up to 12 guests. A local skipper runs the boat to hidden calas that only boats reach, with stops to swim and snorkel away from the crowds.
How much does a day on Mallorca cost in 2026?
Eleven ways to be on Mallorca's water span €25 to €320, and the price unit is the detail that changes the maths — jet skis and boat rentals are priced per craft, while sailing, fishing, kite, diving and the sea tours are priced per person.
