Our family of 4 adults had the most incredible and fun time sailing with Mario! It was the highlight of our trip to Mallorca. He was an excellent host, very friendly, kind, and genuine. He took us to some amazing spots, including a hidden cave, where we snorkelled and saw lots of fish, a jellyfish, and crabs. We also all enjoyed paddleboarding for the first time! We didn’t feel rushed at all and Mario was very relaxed which made us all relaxed! The inflatable platform made getting in and out the water very convenient, and it was comfortable and big enough for us all to lay on. Mario took amazing photos and videos of us and provided a huge speaker so we could listen to our own choice of music! We would definitely highly recommend this trip! Thank you for such a great experience!
Mario was absolutely phenomenal! came in above our expectations, super knowledgeable on the history of mallorca and also an extremely hard worker. he made sure our experience was 100/10. this is the perfect boat to rent for a couple wanting to reach exclusive beaches (we were on our honeymoon) you best believe we will be renting with him again next time we visit. Gracias Mario!!
We had an amazing morning with Mario! He took us to a place incredible, clear water and a little island. All the material was in perfect conditions, we could have not asked for enything to be better. And Mario… what to say? An amazing person, he received and treated us always with respect and a smile. Very passionate and an incredible captain.
An amazing few hours! Mario found perfect spots for swimming, snorkelling and paddle boarding. He was knowledgeable, calm and really made us all confident to get involved with the water toys. If the sports aren’t your thing, relaxing on the swim platform is just as encouraged. If you get the chance, we’d highly recommend it. Thanks Mario!
Mario really looked after us during our afternoon boat ride. He was very friendly and took us to some lovely swimming spots. The swimming platform and paddle boards were great fun, we took the paddle boards to a little island with a beach which the kids loved. Would definitely recommend a trip with Mario.
Mario was so patient and helpful even when we struggled with parking/traffic and were a few minutes late. The boat was perfect for two people and we enjoyed all of his recommendations for snorkeling and exploring. Thank you so much!
Absolutely fantastic, wonderful host. You couldn’t ask for anymore. Friendly, knowledgeable and makes you feel like a friend. We will book again with Mario for sure. Thanks Mario
Such a brilliant time, Mario the driver was so kind and kept us very safe when the weather took an unpredicted turn. Very good guy, very lovely boat ride!!
We had a fantastic afternoon with Mario. Everything worked out perfectly. We are looking forward to getting out on the water with Mario again 😀
An amazing afternoon we couldn’t have wished for a better experience, Marco was such an amazing host!
Mario was adorable this is a great way to see Palma and swim in amazing waters !!
Perfect perfect perfect and the captain was the best!
Thank you Mario! We had a fabulous afternoon
Mario himself was great — very friendly, positive, and welcoming. He really made the experience enjoyable and did his best to make sure we had a good time. The boat itself, however, is a little older and quite small. I would say it is best suited for two people, and even then, moving around and getting in and out can be a bit difficult. That said, considering the price we paid, I think the experience was reasonable and good value overall. Mario definitely made the biggest difference and made the trip much more enjoyable.
The boat looks old, unkept and dirty. The captain came just a little bit later than the agreed time. Not much, but it gave anxiety because there were no other people at the pier. The safety was marginal and the boat almost capsised. The smell of gasoline was overpowering and nauseous. Also, were not warned about stinging jellyfish in the water and my daughter got stung. With all that, scenery was beautiful, the water warm and clean, the inflatable platform and paddle board were provided, and the beer we got from the captain was cold and refreshing. In general, the trip is great, but spend some money and get a better boat. Or don't complain 😅
Mario was amazing! I'm an experienced boater and really appreciated not only the attention he gave us but also that he cared for our safety and well-being. Spending an evening with Mario on his sailboat was definitely the highlight of our trip in Mallorca.
We had a wonderful sailing trip on the water. Mario was an excellent host—he kept us entertained, took great care of everyone on board, and made sure we were well supplied with refreshing drinks throughout the day. The anchorage was fantastic. We enjoyed snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and taking amazing photos from the swim platform. The platform is almost big enough to play football on! 🙂 We can highly recommend Mario to anyone looking to spend a great time on the water. He made the experience truly memorable, and we would be delighted to come back again in the future. Thank you, Mario!
Had a great day on Mario’s boat, would highly recommend
Mario creates the value for the trip, a very nice and fun host. We enjoyed the sup and sunbathing on a nice place.
Mario is the Best host ever! We had the most amazing experience sailing in Mallorca! Thank you Mario!!
Had a great time with Mario! Easy communication and gave us a great experience. The day was windy but he found us a nice protected Cala. We had a great time using all the toys he provided such as a swim platform, paddle boards, and snorkeling. Highly recommend!
We spent a wonderful half-day on this sailboat. The owner was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and attentive, especially when it came to the needs of the little ones. He went out of his way to make sure the kids were safe and comfortable, which allowed us to fully relax. He even chose a beautiful, sheltered cove with very little wind and calm waters, perfect for a peaceful swim. If you are looking for a fantastic, family-friendly boat trip, look no further. Highly recommended!
An absolutely amazing day on the water with Mario!! He loves what he does, which not only shows but makes the already great trip even more amazing. We cruised to a cove, dropped anchor to swim and paddleboard to an island... 10/10 would recommend and hope to be back and book again!
We had the most magical boat trip yesterday thanks to Mario! As five female travellers, feeling safe and comfortable was really important to us, and Mario was an incredibly attentive skipper from start to finish. He kept a careful eye on us whenever we were swimming and made us feel completely relaxed and looked after throughout the day. He also found the perfect spot for us — absolutely stunning! The floating pontoon was ideal for sunbathing with loads of space to stretch out and enjoy the sunshine. We had so much fun paddleboarding too. Everything felt effortless, peaceful, and perfectly organised. It truly ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Mario, for such a special day — we would recommend this experience to anyone!
We had a fantastic time with Mario, his communication before the trip was great and he was very friendly and keen to chat with us about Mallorca. The floating platform meant we could relax and sunbathe while we were at anchor and it was fun to explore on the SUPs. Mario also provided drinks and snacks which meant we didn’t need a long lunch stop which we’ve had on other trips in the past. Thanks again!
Mario was very nice and accommodating. We had a great day and I highly recommend it
he was just awesome and super friendly
Mario has been an awesome host! He had a lot of information on the tour we did including background information regarding the monuments and always felt safe!
Great communication from Mario throughout, we had a fantastic afternoon on the boat. The floating platform and paddle boards were perfect for our group to relax on. The drinks and snacks that Mario provided were just what we needed for our trip. Would definitely recommend to friends and family should they visit the island. Thanks again Mario!!
Many thanks to Mario, we had an incredible time. Exploring the bays and enjoying the warm sea was simply wonderful. We'd do it again anytime! ???
A fantastic experience, I'd definitely do it again. We had a wonderful and very fun time on the boat. And there couldn't have been a better way to end the trip than watching the sunset from the boat. Thank you.
A wonderful time! Mario made sure we enjoyed every second. The welcome was fantastic, he's very kind, always smiling, and excellent value for money! An afternoon we'll cherish forever ? Thanks again, Mario! Jessica, Agnès & Erika
Super fun trip
Highly recommended experience. There were five of us friends, and it was definitely the highlight of the whole trip. Mario treated us like one of his own. We arrived late, and he waited for us without any problem. We started the route, and he took us to some really cool coves. We were able to snorkel and paddleboard, and on the way back, we enjoyed the sunset.
We had a wonderful afternoon with Mario and our three children (ages 5, 8, and 9). We received a warm welcome, and Mario did everything to make us feel completely at ease. He took us to anchorages where there were few, if any, other boats. The inflatable sun lounger, paddleboards, swim rings, and other equipment made the boat even bigger and more spacious, which was a huge hit with our kids and us. We couldn't get the children out of the water! Four hours was absolutely perfect. We had a fantastic day that the children will surely remember for a long time. The boat is admittedly a bit old, but Mario's wonderful hospitality more than makes up for it. A great day out, and we highly recommend a trip with Mario!
It was a really fun experience, I would recommend it 100%! Mario was very attentive and friendly to all of us. He showed us beautiful places where we could go on the inflatable platform, we went paddleboarding, and we went snorkeling. He brought us cold beers and we played music. A perfect 10!
It was great! Mario is a really superb driver! We highly recommend it.
It's a wonderful excursion and Mario the captain is the best!!
Everything was great! Mario is a wonderful host, I recommend him to everyone!
Very personal and friendly service from Mario! He treated us very well, we did many activities such as snorkeling, paddle surfing, giant inflatables, he offered us beers, water, soft drinks, wine, a tour of the coves of Mallorca, he took photos and videos for us, 100% recommended.
A spectacular day, not only because of all the assistance provided, which was abundant, but also because of Mario's kindness and friendliness. It was a pleasure and we will definitely be back ❤️
Mario was a great skipper; we had a good time chatting and he took us to beautiful places. Everyone had a great time and it's definitely worth the price!
It's been an amazing experience!! Thank you so much Mario for welcoming us so warmly, 100% recommended in every way ?
A unique experience! We had a wonderful afternoon. The owner and manager was charming and very attentive. Everything was perfect.
A truly perfect boat trip! Mario is a super friendly and welcoming skipper who makes you feel comfortable from the very first moment. His boat is very well-maintained, and the tour along the coast of Palma was simply breathtaking. Mario knows all the most beautiful bays, takes his time, and ensures that the trip becomes an unforgettable experience. The relaxed atmosphere, the crystal-clear water, and the great vibe on board made the day perfect. We would book this trip again in a heartbeat and can wholeheartedly recommend Mario and his boat. Thank you so much for this wonderful day!
Everything was excellent. Mario was a great captain and guide, very friendly, and everything was very easy, from the rental to the directions to get there. Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic day. Mario gave us a wonderful welcome; he was very friendly and attentive at all times. The inflatable mattress, paddleboards, and snorkel masks were a great touch. We definitely recommend it.
We booked a four-hour boat trip with Mario and had the sailboat all to ourselves. From the moment he greeted us so warmly, I knew it was going to be a very special outing. Mario is an incredibly friendly, warm, and attentive person who truly goes out of his way to give his guests an unforgettable day. We sailed to a beautiful spot where Mario first inflated a huge platform and a stand-up paddleboard and prepared the snorkeling gear. Meanwhile, we relaxed on the boat, enjoyed the view, and had a drink. Then we explored the stunning underwater world together while snorkeling. Mario gave us great tips on the best snorkeling spots and even showed us a small cave. It was a truly wonderful experience! Afterward, we explored the surroundings with the stand-up paddleboard and then relaxed on the large platform. With a delicious beer, we simply enjoyed the idyllic atmosphere and our time on the water. To finish off the day, we headed back and were treated to a breathtaking sunset overlooking Palma Cathedral – simply perfect! Mario really went above and beyond to make our day truly special. For me, it was the perfect birthday trip and a memory I'll never forget. You can tell that Mario is passionate about his work and that it's genuinely important to him that his guests have a wonderful time. We booked the boat exclusively for ourselves for four hours. It can accommodate up to five people, making it a great experience for small groups or families. A definite recommendation! If you're looking for a special and personalized excursion in Mallorca, Mario is the perfect choice. He's a truly wonderful person, and we would do this trip again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for this unforgettable day!
A wonderful moment at sea with Mario
a very nice experience mario is too
We had a bad day to go out as there were quite a few waves and I got seasick, so we had to return to port barely an hour later... so I recommend getting insurance.
Mario is a wonderful, friendly person. He was so kind and attentive, full of laughter and great stories. We felt very welcome, and as a surprise, he even brought a bottle of Cava for my birthday. Thumbs up! Thank you so much, Mario! It was a perfect day with beautiful music. Antonia Time For Living Mallorca
Mario was incredibly kind and attentive to us. We felt comfortable, and the time flew by with all the accessories he brought. We'll definitely do it again, thanks Mario!
A fantastic host, we had a wonderful afternoon. Mario was the best, we'll be back! ?
We had an absolutely incredible day celebrating a bachelorette party with our girlfriends! There were six of us, and everything was perfect for an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to Mario, our skipper, who took such good care of us from beginning to end. Everything was perfectly organized: drinks, paddleboards, an inflatable sunbathing platform, snorkeling gear, a speaker for music… He left nothing to chance! We laughed and danced all afternoon, enjoyed the sea, and created wonderful memories that we will cherish for a long time. The atmosphere was perfect, and Mario played a huge part in making this day exceptional. If you're looking for a fun, festive, and perfectly organized boat trip, don't hesitate! A huge thank you again for this memorable experience!
We had a fantastic time! Mario is a great host. I highly recommend it!! Thanks for everything, Mario :)
It was a very successful trip with Mario!
We had a wonderful day with Mario! Very attentive and friendly. The sunset experience on the boat is simply wonderful. Thanks Mario, we'll definitely be back!
Everything went really well! There were four of us, and no one had anything bad to say! The mattress and paddleboard were great additions! Mário is very friendly, cheerful, and helpful! He's such a great guy! We often do boat trips, and this was definitely one of the best! We highly recommend it!
Excellent! Mário is a very polite and calm person. He does everything in his power to secure a spot on the right day. He was fun throughout the experience and attentive. We were accompanied by a preteen, and he always joined him in the fun and explorations. Very good indeed!
