Caribia Sailing
Alcúdia, Mallorca: Half-Day Sailing Trip for Up to 10 Guests
4.9 (548) · from $112
The Caribia Alcudia sailing trip is a four-hour shared yacht outing from Marina Alcudiamar on Mallorca's north coast, sold on GetYourGuide for $112 per person with taxes and fees included, about €100 at today's rate. The skipper sails you along the coast to Platja del Coll Baix for a swim, snorkel and tapas stop.
The attribute that changes the decision is the wind. This is a real sailing trip, and an October 2026 reviewer wrote that there was too little wind to sail properly, though they enjoyed the cove and the food. Another said parts were under sail and parts under engine. A refund follows cancellation for excessive rain, wind or waves, not for a calm day.
I set it against the other boats on the Mallorca sailing trips page and the wider Mallorca boat tours guide. The home page lists every city I cover.

What is the Caribia Alcudia sailing trip and what do you do on it?
It is a shared half-day sail on a modern 19 m sloop with a captain and a deckhand, for a maximum of ten people, with a swim and snorkel stop in a cove. On GetYourGuide it is sold as a half-day sail with a ten-guest cap.
- Sailing: two 1.5-hour legs along the coast from the port, under sail when the wind allows.
- Helm: the listing says you can steer, and a reviewer confirms guests were allowed to help with the sails and take the wheel.
- Swimming and snorkelling: one hour at Platja del Coll Baix, with gear supplied.
- Food and drink: tapas, with beer and soft drinks poured without a limit.
- Photos: the listing recommends sitting on the boom for the best shot.
It is the closest thing in Mallorca to a hands-on sailing lesson for people who have never sailed, because the group is small enough for the crew to hand over the wheel.
Where does the Caribia sailing trip leave from?
It leaves from Marina Alcudiamar in Port d'Alcúdia, dock 7, berth 646, where the yacht is moored. Go straight to the boat and wait for your host, because there is no separate check-in office listed.
- Walk to dock 7 inside the marina.
- Find berth 646 and the yacht called Nereida.
- Arrive 30 minutes before departure, as the listing asks for all trips.
- Message the operator if you are going to be late.
Open the berth on Google Maps. The listing says hotel pick-up and drop-off is included, but names no pick-up area, so ask which resorts qualify. I have not estimated a walking time from any hotel, because the listing gives none and I could not route one.
What is the route, stop by stop?
The route has four listed parts: a 15-minute safety briefing, 1.5 hours of sailing to a viewpoint, one hour at Platja del Coll Baix, and 1.5 hours of sailing back.
| Part | Time | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Port d'Alcúdia | 15 minutes | Boarding and safety briefing |
| Coastal viewpoint | 1.5 hours | Sightseeing and sailing |
| Platja del Coll Baix | 1 hour | Swim, snorkel, tapas |
| Coastal viewpoint | 1.5 hours | Sailing back |
| Marina Alcudiamar | - | Return to the berth |
The timings add up to 4 hours 15 minutes of listed activity against a 4-hour product, so expect the briefing to overlap with boarding. The listing adds that the itinerary may change with sea and weather conditions.
How long is it and when does it sail?
It lasts 4 hours, and the departure times appear in the booking calendar after you choose a date. The listing says a trip needs at least four paying guests to run.
That minimum matters in October, when demand thins. A reviewer on 15 October 2026 had eight guests on board, and another on 11 October said only ten passengers were on the yacht. If you book a low-season date, check the calendar again closer to the day, because a trip below four bookings may not run.
| Date | Sunset |

| Nov 15 | 5:35 PM |
| Dec 15 | 5:27 PM |
The sunset times are for Palma, the nearest city I have data for; Alcúdia is on the same island and the same time zone. The listing offers no sunset departure, so the table is for planning your return, not for the sail.
What is on board and what is included?
The crew of two, snorkel gear, tapas, free-flowing beer and soft drinks, towels and sunscreen are listed as included, along with hotel pick-up. The listing's "swimwear" item is odd, so bring your own.
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Captain and deckhand | Included |
| Snorkel gear | Included |
| Tapas | Included |
| Beer and soft drinks | Unlimited |
| Hotel pick-up | Included, areas not stated |
| Weight limit | Excluded above 125 kg (275 lbs) |
| Pets, high heels | Not allowed (assistance dogs allowed) |
| Minimum guests | 4 people for the trip to run |
The one drink gap is wine and spirits: a reviewer says the alcoholic options could be improved, and GetYourGuide's summary says clearer information on them would help. If a specific drink matters, message the operator.
How does the Caribia Alcudia sailing trip compare with other Mallorca boats?
It is the most expensive of the shared sailing boats, the best rated of those with over 500 reviews, and one of three Alcúdia trips. The table uses this site's Mallorca product data.
| Trip | From | Duration | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caribia Alcudia sailing | $112 | 4 hours | 4.9 (548) |
| Brisa catamaran with a meal, Port d'Alcúdia | $76 | 5 hours | 4.5 (3,246) |
| SeaMallorcaTrips private tour, Alcúdia | $208 | 2.5 hours | 4.9 (77) |
| SeaBarcelona sailing, Palma | $107 | 4 hours | 4.7 (963) |
The Brisa catamaran is $36 cheaper and one hour longer, with a meal, but it is a larger shared boat rated 4.5. The private SeaMallorcaTrips tour at $208 is per group, so it beats Caribia on price per person only for groups of two or more splitting it.
Is the Caribia Alcudia sailing trip worth it against other Mallorca sailing trips?
At $28 per hour it sits on the median for the island's boats, with the highest review score among shared trips with 500+ reviews and a ten-guest cap, so I rate it good value if you want to actually sail. It is poor value if you only want a swim, because a $45 catamaran gives you the same cove-swim.
- Score: 4.9/5 from 548 reviews, with guide and transport sub-scores of 4.9/5.
- Size: 10 guests maximum on 19 m, so about 2 m of yacht per guest.
- Hands-on: guests can help with the sails or steer.
- Drinks: unlimited beer and soft drinks, no wine listed.
For couples and small friend groups staying near the Bay of Alcúdia, I'd book the Caribia Alcudia sailing trip before any Palma boat, because it saves the cross-island transfer to a Palma departure. For a guaranteed swim on a calm day, the Mallorca catamaran tours are the safer pick.
When is the best time to take the Caribia sailing trip?
Sailing wind is the question, and I have no official data for the Bay of Alcúdia. For comfort, July is the driest month in Palma (2.0 rain days, long-term high 32 °C), while September and October have the most rain days (9.7 and 9.1). The table is Palma's climate, the nearest data I could pull.
| Month | Avg high 2025 | Avg high 2015-24 | Rain days (1 mm+) | On the water |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 16 °C (61 °F) | 15 °C (59 °F) | 6.0 | Mild but cool on deck; bring a jacket |
| Feb | 16 °C (61 °F) | 16 °C (61 °F) | 5.7 | Cool; few trips run |
| Mar | 17 °C (63 °F) | 17 °C (63 °F) | 7.7 | Cool water, wet days possible |
| Apr | 21 °C (70 °F) | 20 °C (68 °F) | 7.4 | Warming; swim stops still chilly |
| May | 24 °C (75 °F) | 24 °C (75 °F) | 7.0 | Good all-rounder; sea still cooler than air |
| Jun | 32 °C (90 °F) | 29 °C (84 °F) | 4.7 | Hot and dry; shade matters |
| Jul | 31 °C (88 °F) | 32 °C (90 °F) | 2.0 | Driest month (2.0 days); peak heat |
| Aug | 33 °C (91 °F) | 32 °C (90 °F) | 4.3 | Hot and busy; book early |
| Sep | 28 °C (82 °F) | 28 °C (82 °F) | 9.7 | Wettest stretch begins; storms possible |
| Oct | 24 °C (75 °F) | 24 °C (75 °F) | 9.1 | Wet days rise; sea still warm |
| Nov | 18 °C (64 °F) | 19 °C (66 °F) | 8.5 | Cooler; shorter days |
| Dec | 16 °C (61 °F) | 16 °C (61 °F) | 6.1 | Cool, early sunset |
The Spanish weather agency AEMET records 346 hours of sunshine in July at Palma port and 151 in December (1981-2010 normals), which shows how much shorter and cooler the shoulder months feel on deck.
3,167,905tourists chose the Balearic Islands as their main destination in August 2026, 2.33% more than a year earlier.
The listing says the trip may be cancelled for excessive rain, wind or waves with a refund, and that the sea state can alter the itinerary. If you are prone to seasickness, the operator advises a pill an hour before sailing.
What do passengers say about the Caribia sailing trip?
The recent reviews I read were all 5 stars, so that sample is positive-only; the 4.9/5 average from 548 reviews says the pattern holds across the whole listing. The comments cluster around four points.
| Theme | Direction | Mentions in sample |
|---|---|---|
| Friendly, attentive crew | Positive | 5 |
| Small group (8-10 guests) | Positive | 3 |
| Food and tapas | Positive | 3 |
| Swim stop at a quiet cove | Positive | 3 |
| Not enough wind to sail | Neutral | 1 |
| Alcoholic drinks limited | Negative | 1 |
GetYourGuide's summary of 140 verified recent reviews notes the same praise and the call for clearer information on alcoholic drinks. Sub-scores are 4.9/5 for guide, 4.9/5 for transportation and 4.8/5 for value.
Who should skip the Caribia sailing trip?
Skip it if you weigh above 125 kg, need a guaranteed motor-boat swim, or want a large party atmosphere. The listing excludes anyone above that weight and bans pets other than assistance dogs.
- Wine drinkers: the listing promises beer and soft drinks, not wine.
- Anyone staying in Palma: try SeaBarcelona's Palma yacht instead.
- Seasick-prone guests: the operator itself suggests a tablet.
- Private parties: see the private boat tours in Mallorca.
The listing states no child age limit or minimum age. Ask the operator if you travel with young children. More alternatives are on the Mallorca boat tours hub.
