The Attraction Catamarans luxury tour is a party-leaning catamaran day out of Palma for up to 145 passengers, with a buffet, a DJ and a photographer included and the bar paid separately. It sails across the Bay of Palma to a swim stop at Cala Vella and returns with the cathedral and Bellver Castle in view.

The detail that changes the decision is price. The operator's own site shows €85 for an adult ticket on both the day and the sunset sailing, while GetYourGuide shows $62, about €55. I cannot see which date or option the lower figure belongs to, so check the final price for your own date before you compare.

My Mallorca boat tours guide and the catamaran trips page rank this boat against the others, and the Harbour Advisor home page lists my other cities.

What is the Attraction Catamarans luxury tour and what do you see?

It is a shared cruise on a large modern catamaran, with sails raised only when the wind is right, a swim and snorkel stop at Cala Vella, a buffet, DJ music and an onboard photographer. On the way back, the cathedral and Bellver Castle come into view across the bay.

• Swim stop: one, at Cala Vella; the listing says it can move elsewhere in the bay if the sea is wrong.
• Buffet: salads, wraps, mini burgers, skewers and a brownie on the operator's menu; the listing adds vegetarian and vegan dishes.
• Music: a DJ plays chill-out sets rather than club music, per the listing's wording.
• Photographer: included, and the listing says pictures may be used by the company unless you object.

Where does the Attraction Catamarans luxury tour leave from?

It leaves from the Attraction Catamarans boat deck inside the Golondrinas marina in Palma, and the listing tells you to walk inside the marina and not to wait at the Auditorium de Palma entrance. That Auditorium is the landmark for Magic Catamarans' pier, 116 m away, so it is easy to stand at the wrong boat.

What is the route and the schedule?

Both sailings follow the same short route: out of the marina, across the bay to Cala Vella for the swim and meal, then back to the marina. The day sailing runs 10:00 to 15:00 and the sunset sailing 17:00 to 21:00, according to the operator, while the listing gives 5 and 4 hours.

The operator's text names Cala Blava as the anchorage while the headline destination is Cala Vella. The listing says Cala Vella, so treat the exact cove as "near Cala Vella" and ask the crew on the day. See both on the map: Cala Vella, Cala Blava.

What is included, and what costs extra?

The price covers the cruise, one swim stop, the buffet, water with the meal, the DJ and the photographer; bar drinks, hotel transfer, snorkel gear and towels are paid on top.

You cannot bring your own food or drink aboard, according to the listing, and pets are not allowed.

Is the Attraction Catamarans luxury tour worth it versus Palma's other catamarans?

At $62 it is a fair-value party boat, but the real gap with Magic Catamarans is what the price includes: Magic adds unlimited soft drinks and wine with lunch, while Attraction adds a DJ and a photographer and sells drinks separately.

If you want a larger boat with music and are happy to pay for drinks, this is my pick of the group. For a small boat and an open bar, the $107 sailing in the table is the quieter alternative.

19,053,592 tourists arrived in the Balearic Islands in 2025, 1.73% more than in 2024, so evening slots sell out in season.

Is a luxury catamaran day in Palma Bay worth it?

It is worth it for a celebration or a social day with music, and less so for a quiet romantic evening, because 145 passengers share the deck and the DJ is part of the programme.

• Good for: birthdays and groups of friends; one reviewer praised the crew singing for a birthday.
• Good for: photos, since a photographer works the deck throughout.
• Less good for: guests who dislike music at volume, or who want guaranteed space at the front nets.

When is the best time to go, and what is the sunset hour?

June to September is the warm swimming window, May and October are quieter shoulder months, and the table shows Palma's monthly highs and rain days from Open-Meteo.

Does the 17:00 sunset sailing catch the sunset?

It catches the sunset from April to May and from August to March, but not in June or July. The sailing returns at 21:00, so in the long days of June and July the sun sets after you dock.

In November and December the sun sets about half an hour after departure, so most of the "sunset" cruise is after dark.

The operator page carries an off-season label and a 10% discount, but neither source states which months the sailings run, so confirm before booking a winter date. Check wind and sea at AEMET because the listing says the date may be rescheduled if the sea is unfavourable. Public holidays in the next weeks: 1 November, 6 December, 8 December and 25 December (Nager.Date).

What do passengers say?

Passengers praise the DJ, the buffet and the photographer, and the recurring complaint is the VIP-only front nets. The ten reviews shown are all five-star, so that sample is positive-only; the complaint comes from GetYourGuide's summary of about 170 reviews.

• Food: the buffet is called plentiful and good quality.
• DJ and atmosphere: named by most of the reviews I read.
• Photographer: two reviewers singled the photographer out.
• Drinks: cocktails are bought on board and described as well made and fairly priced.
• VIP area: VIP guests were delighted; others felt access rules should be clearer.

Who should skip it?

Skip it if you want silence, a small group or an all-inclusive bar. Quieter boats are on the full list of Mallorca boat tours, and the Magic Catamarans day cruise has drinks included.

• Guests who need hotel pickup at no cost: the operator charges €30 per person for it.
• Anyone who objects to being photographed: tell the photographers on board.
• Travellers who want to bring their own picnic or drinks: not allowed.
