We had the most amazing boat day with Captain Marc on the Black Pearl. Marc is super friendly and fun and he made sure we swam at the best secret spots! Thank you and see you next year Marc!

What a fantastic day out on Marc's boat. We had six of us, 3 cousins and there partners from the UK, Canada and New Zealand. It was a great way to enjoy chill out time and celebrate one of the Kiwi's birthdays. Marc was the perfect hist, knowledgeable and funny, kept us entertained! Can't recommend this boat and crew enough...

Marc is the perfect skipper and the perfect host. The boat is great and really good fun if you want something with character. The excursion is something you will remember, the places you will travel too are special and away from the busy tourist traps. I couldn’t recommend the experience more. Thank you Marc.

Our trip with Marc was brilliant. We hired the boat for half a day - brought our own drinks and lunch with a cool box & ice waiting on arrival. We visited a couple of pretty coves with Marc giving us some history to the area. The Black Pearl is super cool - a rustic and authentic pirate type boat which we loved. We paddle boarded, snorkelled, dived off while playing our music through his speaker... perfect. We had some engine trouble with the rib on the way out but it made it all the funnier rowing out to The Black Pearl. Couldn’t have been better. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Me and my family (8 people) went on an 8 hour day trip on board The Black Pearl. We had an amazing day sailing up the coast of Mallorca. The boat is absolutely amazing with several areas above deck where we could relax in or out of the sun. Our captain Marc was incredible and quickly became part of our group. He had a lot of knowledge of the area, a great warm personality and was truly interested in us and wanted to give us a unique experience, which he did. We had the boat for ourselves and payed a little extra to have drinks and food throughout the trip and this was a great decision. We were spoiled with amazing tapas and snacks throughout the trip. The great service had even started long before the trip when we booked. Marc and his crew was so understanding of our needs and we had the feeling that every request was possible with these guys. At the end of our trip we were hit by a flash storm and Marc showed his experience as a captain keeping calm and deciding to dock at another place than what was planned as this was the safer option. We felt very safe with Marc as the skipper and the fact that he has a great personality is just a very nice bonus. We had an amazing time aboard The Black Pearl and no trip to Mallorca will ever be complete without a trip with Marc. We give our greatest recommendations and if you want a truly incredible day on the water, this is the boat to book.

It was the most memorable day from our stay in Mallorca. Marc was very helpful, informative, knowledgeable. Black Pearl was outstanding, looked totally different than all others we met in the sea. “She” (the boat) might have a soul. :). Fair winds and following seas!

An unforgettable day — Marco, an exceptional captain! What an extraordinary experience! From the moment we arrived at the port of Pollença, Marco established himself as an outstanding captain: warm, attentive, and passionate, he created an atmosphere that was both professional and friendly. Highlights of the day: The itinerary was simply perfect, combining secret coves, breathtaking sea views, and swimming stops in crystal-clear waters. Marco anticipated all our needs. Always smiling, available, and attentive, he customized the excursion to our current needs—a rare and precious flexibility. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere on board: he brought the children to take the helm, shared anecdotes about the coast, while ensuring safety and comfort with reassuring expertise. A five-star experience thanks to Marco, this exceptional captain! If you're looking for an authentic, comfortable, and charming seaside getaway, look no further—book this activity with Marco with your eyes closed!

Today we had a wonderful family sailing experience. From the very first moment, skipper Marc made us feel at home, inspiring security, confidence, and above all, a lot of friendliness. He took us to beautiful spots, sharing interesting facts, and taking care of every detail so we could enjoy ourselves to the fullest. The tranquility of the sea, the good atmosphere, and Marc's professionalism made the day unforgettable. We definitely recommend him 100%.

Marc is a really nice guy and we had a lovely day on the Formosa Ketch 42. Marc tried to accommodate and fulfill all of our wishes. The downside was that he had already dismantled the main sail, as it was the last trip before the end of the season and we couldn't really sail anymore, but had to always use the motor. It would have been nice if this had been clearly communicated beforehand, or if the maintenance work had only started after the last customer of the season.

Unfortunately, the boat was very uncomfortable. There was almost no shade. There was no place to sit or a table to eat. The berths were uncomfortable and you couldn't sit down either. Overall, the boat cannot be recommended

Unfortunately I can only give 5 stars, otherwise it would be ****** The communication was great, the pick-up location was very easy to find and the pick-up with the dinghy was on time! The boat is in impeccable condition and we had a lot of fun on the day with Edain and Barbara. WE'D BE HAPPY TO GO BACK ANYTIME!
