Looking for something special to so in Santa Ponça? Discover Mallorca from the sea
When planning your holidays in Santa Ponsa, you’ll find plenty of recommendations: beaches, restaurants, markets, coastal walks and sunset viewpoints. They’re all worth enjoying, but if you’re looking for an experience that feels truly special, there is one activity that consistently becomes the highlight of our guests’ holidays:
A private boat trip along Mallorca’s spectacular southwest coastline.
At Martiners Boats, we offer exclusive private excursions aboard our premium MasterCraft Maristar 280, departing directly from the marina of Santa Ponsa. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, travelling as a couple, spending quality time with family or simply looking to escape the crowds, a few hours at sea can completely transform your Mallorca experience.
Where does the boat trip start?
Our boat is based at the Club Náutico Santa Ponsa, one of the most convenient departure points on Mallorca’s southwest coast.
Getting here is easy:
If you’re staying in Santa Ponsa
Many visitors can simply walk to the marina.
The yacht club is located just a few minutes from the main beach and promenade, making it easily accessible from most hotels, apartments and holiday rentals in the area.
If you’re arriving by car, or taxi
There is public parking available directly outside the marina, as well as additional parking spaces along the surrounding streets.
Unlike some of Mallorca’s larger marinas, arriving at Santa Ponsa is usually straightforward and stress-free, especially if you arrive a little before departure time.
Why is Santa Ponsa one of the best places to start a boat trip?
One of the biggest advantages of departing from Santa Ponsa is its location.
Instead of spending a large part of your charter navigating out of a busy harbour, you’re already positioned close to some of Mallorca’s most beautiful coastal areas.
Within minutes of leaving the marina, you can be enjoying:
- Crystal-clear swimming spots
- Hidden coves
- Spectacular cliffs
- The Malgrats Marine Reserve
- Open sea views
- Peaceful anchorages away from the crowds
This means more time enjoying the experience and less time travelling.
Why choose a private boat instead of a group excursion?
Many visitors initially look at large boat tours because they seem like the obvious option.
However, a private charter offers a completely different experience.
Instead of sharing the day with dozens of strangers, you have the boat exclusively for your group.
That means:
- No crowds
- No fixed schedules
- No rush
- More privacy
- Flexible swimming stops
- Personalised routes
The day adapts to what you want to do.
Want to spend longer swimming in a beautiful cove? No problem.
Prefer to relax with a drink while listening to your favourite music? That’s exactly what a private boat is designed for.
Why our MasterCraft is different
Not all charter boats are created equal.
Our MasterCraft Maristar 280 is a premium American-built boat designed for comfort, stability and enjoyment on the water.
Guests particularly appreciate:
- Spacious sunbathing areas
- Comfortable seating
- Easy access to the sea via the swim platform
- Premium Bluetooth sound system
- Smooth and stable navigation
- Plenty of space for up to 7 guests
It’s the kind of boat that immediately feels special when you step aboard.
What will we see during the trip?
Every outing is slightly different because we adapt to sea conditions and your preferences.
Depending on the duration of your trip, we may explore areas such as:
The Malgrats Islands
One of the most beautiful marine reserves in Mallorca, famous for its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life.
Hidden Coves
Many of the most beautiful swimming spots around southwest Mallorca are difficult (or impossible) to access by land.
By boat, we can anchor in quiet turquoise bays where you can swim, snorkel or simply relax.
Coastal Cliffs and Scenic Landscapes
The coastline between Santa Ponça and Andratx offers spectacular scenery that most visitors never get to see.
From the water, Mallorca looks completely different.
Perfect for special occasions
Many guests book a private boat trip because they want to make a particular day memorable.
Popular occasions include:
- Birthdays
- Wedding anniversaries
- Marriage proposals
- Family gatherings
- Romantic sunset experiences
- Small celebrations with friends
Sometimes the best memories come from the simplest moments: swimming in a secluded cove, watching the sunset from the sea or sharing a relaxed afternoon with people you care about.
What should you bring?
We like to keep things simple.
We recommend bringing:
- Swimwear
- Towels
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- A hat
- Your phone or camera
You are also welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks on board.
We’ll take care of the rest.
Is a private boat trip worth it?
If you’re looking for another crowded excursion, probably not.
But if you’re looking for an experience that feels personal, exclusive and genuinely memorable, most guests tell us it becomes one of the highlights of their entire Mallorca holiday.
After all, beaches can be crowded, restaurants can be busy and tourist attractions can feel repetitive.
A private boat trip offers something different:
Freedom, privacy and the chance to discover a side of Mallorca that most visitors never see.
Make your holiday in Santa Ponça truly unforgettable
If you’re searching for the best things to do in Santa Ponça, don’t just stay on the beach.
Join us aboard our MasterCraft Maristar 280, depart directly from the marina of Santa Ponsa and discover hidden coves, turquoise waters and breathtaking coastal scenery from the best viewpoint possible: the sea.
Because some of Mallorca’s most beautiful places aren’t found on a map, they’re found beyond the shoreline.
