The SeaMallorcaTrips Alcudia private boat tour is a 2.5-hour trip on a traditional Mallorcan llaut from Marina de Bonaire, with the whole boat reserved for one group of up to four. It heads through the bays of Alcúdia and Pollença to Formentor and back, with swim and snorkel stops.

It is one of the cheaper private options on the island's north-east coast, and it is listed with my other private boat tours in Mallorca.

The detail that changes the decision is the age and weight screen. The listing excludes children under 6, people over 65, anyone above 100 kg, pregnant guests and wheelchair users, so check your group before you look at the price.

What is the SeaMallorcaTrips Alcudia private boat tour and what do you do?

You rent a whole traditional boat with a captain for 2.5 hours and spend it going from cove to cove, swimming and snorkelling at the stops, with no other passengers on board. The route is fixed in outline but adjusted to wind and your wishes, according to one reviewer, who wanted both swimming and scenery and got both.

1. Meet at the marina by the port restaurant and board your private llaut.
2. Cruise the bays of Alcúdia and Pollença with the captain pointing out sights.
3. Stop to swim and snorkel at up to five named points before the lighthouse.
4. Return to the same pontoon in Alcúdia.

Where does the SeaMallorcaTrips Alcudia private boat tour start?

It starts at Marina de Bonaire in Port d'Alcúdia, at the pontoon next to the marina restaurant. Open Marina de Bonaire on Google Maps The listing gives the berth as dock 293 in one place and pier 294 in another, so I would not rely on either number until the captain confirms.

The includes list also mentions transport to the departure point, but the meeting-point text sends guests to the marina. I read that as a pointer to the berth, not a pickup, and I would ask the captain before assuming a transfer.

What is the route, stop by stop?

The route works along the north-east coast from Alcúdia Bay into Pollença Bay and out toward Formentor, with five named stops that the captain can reorder with the wind. Most of the places visited can only be reached by boat, according to the listing.

I cannot give sailing times between stops, because the listing gives none and I will not estimate them. With 2.5 hours in total and five stops, plan on short swims rather than a long beach day at any single point.

How long is the trip and when does it run?

The trip is 2.5 hours, and the departure time is chosen at booking; the listing shows no fixed timetable. A reviewer booked the evening before and got a confirmation straight away, so late bookings work at least outside peak weeks.

Sunset matters if you book the last slot. The table gives sunset at Alcúdia on the 15th of each month.

Summer time pushes sunset after 8:25 PM from April to August. A 2.5-hour trip leaving at 5 PM in July is back long before dark; in December sunset is about 5:30 PM, so only a morning or midday slot gives you daylight swim time.

What is on board and what do you pay extra for?

Snorkel gear, the captain and the private boat are included; food and drink are not in the includes list. The description mentions local drinks and snacks, but a reviewer says the cava and cheese were add-ons arranged beforehand.

• Included: private boat for up to four, snorkel gear, experienced captain, customisable route.
• Likely extra: drinks and snacks (ask for a price in the message to the captain).
• Bring: sunscreen, swimwear, hat, towel, waterproof shoes.
• Not allowed: pets.

A reviewer was lent a towel and a waterproof phone pouch, which suggests the captain keeps spares, but the listing does not promise either.

How does the SeaMallorcaTrips Alcudia private boat tour compare with other boats?

At $83 an hour it costs about three times the island median, which is the premium for having the boat to yourself on the north-east coast, and it is still the cheapest private option I can list in the area.

If you travel as a group of four and want a quiet morning in the coves, I'd book this boat.

For a bigger party, Caribia's Alcúdia sailing trip takes up to ten, and for a party with water toys the Pedro Yllera boat is the one with a donut and seascooter. The shared options are on my boat tours in Mallorca hub.

Is the SeaMallorcaTrips Alcudia private boat tour worth it against a shared cruise?

Yes, if your group is four or fewer, you all pass the age and weight screen and you want to choose how long to stay in the water; no if you only want the cheapest seat on a boat.

A shared catamaran from Port d'Alcúdia costs $76 per person for five hours with a meal, and for four people that is $304 in total. The private boat gives you half the time for a price that depends on how the booking widget scales your group, so open the widget with four adults and read the total before you compare.

• Worth it: couples and small families who want privacy and a flexible route.
• Weigh up: the 4.9 score is strong, but the ten reviews I could read were all five-star and sorted as Recommended.
• Look elsewhere: larger groups should compare the private boat options that take six or more.

Is a private boat trip from Alcudia worth the price per hour?

A private boat trip from Alcúdia is worth it when you value empty coves and time control over the lowest price, since you pay about $83 per hour against a $28 median.

When is the best time to go, and how windy is it?

June to August brings the warmest water and the lowest rain: July averages 1.3 rain days and 31 degrees Celsius at Alcúdia, while September and October have the most rain days at 9.8 and 7.9.

A reviewer who went in late May reported choppy water and a windy run to the coves, and the captain offered a cabin boat.

The long-term daily peak wind is around 20 km/h in most months and 22 to 24 km/h from January to April, so the same route is rougher in winter. Today the sea at Alcúdia is 24.8 degrees Celsius.

13.56 million tourists visited Mallorca in 2025; the captain told one reviewer that August is the busiest month.

Spain's weather service publishes marine forecasts at AEMET; check it the day before. Public holidays from the Nager.Date API are 1 November, 6 December and 8 December.

What do passengers say about this trip?

Passengers praise the captain, the clear water and the freedom to adjust the stops. I could read only ten reviews, all five-star, so the pattern is the favourable end of the range.

• Captain (9 of 10): friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, pointed out sights.
• Swimming and snorkelling (8 of 10): clear water and fish seen at the stops.
• Families (1 of 10): two daughters aged 11 and 13 enjoyed it.
• Price (1 of 10): one reviewer called it pricier than a big boat but more enjoyable.

Who should skip the SeaMallorcaTrips Alcudia private boat tour?

Skip it if anyone in the group is over 65 or under 6, weighs over 100 kg, is pregnant or uses a wheelchair, if you are more than four people, or if you want the cheapest seat on the water.

• Groups above four: look at the Caribia sailing trip for up to ten.
• Budget travellers: the shared catamaran is $76 per person.
• Anyone wanting a meal on board: food is not part of the listing.
