Sailing Experience Pollensa

We had an absolutely amazing time with Luis, who took us across Formentor / Alcúdia and let us explore the beautiful seas and calas. He navigated strong winds expertly, alternating between using the sail and the motor so we had a great and very smooth experience. Luis also provided snacks and drinks for us, and allowed us to relax on board with comfortable seating arrangements, gorgeous swimming in the bluest waters, and just enjoy the beautiful sea and weather. Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in spending a day on the water. Parking was very easy and cheap, right on the water in Pollença. PS - wild donkeys in Cala Murta was an incredible surprise!

We booked a full day of sailing for 2 people; it was a wonderful experience and an unforgettable day with stunning scenery! Luis toured us around Cap de Formentor and Pollença Bay. Luis has a stand up paddle board and we took it around some quiet coves. We also brought our own floaties. The market along the dock has many of them if you need extra. Luis was ready on time with cold wine, beer, water, and tapas. He was quick to respond on WhatsApp and easy to book with. I think if you are visiting Puerto Pollença this is a must-do activity! Thank you again Luis!

A excursion con Luis, o capitan, no seu barco, o Jubilado, foi das mellores experiencias do noso viaxe a Mallorca. Experto marino, coñece a perfección toda a costa polo que te enseñara sitios maxicos onde nadar, facer snorkel ou paddel surf!! O velero ten unha cubierta moi amplia e con zonas de sombra para, ou ben tomar o sol, ou leer ou simplemente facer chillout. En canto sopra un pouco de vento, Luis larga velas e a navegar!!! Si tes pensado visitar o norte de Mallorca non o podes perder!!! Graciñas Luis !! Sempre no noso corazón 😍

Día inolvidable desde el principio. Luis, el capitán, profesional, amable, cariñoso ....en una palabra travesía entrañable a Formentor . Tiempo para descansar , bañarte y hacer una comida abordo. No dudaría en volver !!!!! Pena que no vivo en Pollensa!!!!

We had a good experience but Luis was not very friendly. We nearly crashed into another boat leaving a mooing in formentor. He also didn’t explain how a sea toilet worked when my cousin asked about the toilet. When there was a dolphin nearby he went onto the SUP himself and didn’t let us go first, which I find a bit rude. Also he initially said we could go out from 14:00 to 22:00 and sent a message the day before sailing that we have one hour less. And we didn’t get any snacks either. The swim in the first bay was nice though and the boat is clean. However, the cabin smells of smoke.

Our family of four had a brilliant day out with Luis on the boat. He took us to a stunning cove near Alcúdia as well as Formentor, where we stopped for a swim and enjoyed using his paddle board and snorkelling gear. Luis had also prepared a cool box full of drinks (soft drinks, beer and wine) along with some snacks, which made the day even more relaxing. Everything was well thought out and easy. We would absolutely book with him again and would highly recommend the experience to friends and family.

Wow! We had a fantastic half day sailing. It was completely magical to glide along with the sail, stop in the cove to swim, snorkel and paddle board and then enjoy another stop for some jumping and diving from the boat. Luis was fabulous! A relaxed trip with plenty of drinks and snacks for the afternoon. We can’t wait to sail again next year. Thank you, Luis - what a beautiful boat you have.

We had a great full day’s sailing with Luis, We set off at 1pm sharp and the trip involved tacking back and forth across the Bay of Pollença 3-4 times overall. He was very flexible about where we wanted to stop, initially eschewing the crowded Alcudia bay in favour of a much quieter and lovelier cove near Caló de Sa Figuera where we anchored, first snorkelling and paddleboarding for a good couple of hours and then having lunch, before heading back across the bay to Playa de Formentor where we did some more snorkelling for another 45 minutes. Luis is a laid back and quiet character, not overly interfering but rather left us space to enjoy the day as a family. He doesn’t speak much English, but that didn’t stop us from communicating well or cause us any significant issues. It is obvious that he is a good and experienced captain and despite his fairly quiet personality we found him to be a warm, attentive and thoughtful host who looked after us well - providing gazpacho and a tapas platter for lunch (comprising Spanish omelette, chorizo, cured ham, bruschetta, bread and crisps. Refreshments were copious and came chilled in a cold box, and included several types of soft drinks, plus a selection of beers and a bottle of local white wine (which went down well with the tapas!). We sailed back into the Port de Pollença sunset on motor power (as the wind had died down by early evening) arriving at about 8:30pm, and he was even kind enough to drop us off by RIB at a quay near to our hotel so that we could make back it in time for dinner in the hotel restaurant before they closed. A very memorable and enjoyable day. Would recommend!!!

Luis was a great Captain, he was really accommodating and made the whole experience really special. He gave us opportunities to stop and swim and use the paddle board. He provided wine and beers snacks and soft drinks. We felt so relaxed perfect holiday experience.

La mejor experiencia en el mar! Celebre mi cumpleaños con un par de amigas y sin palabras! Luis es encantador, está pendiente en todo momento de que todo vaya bien. El barco es increíble, te lleva a unos sitios maravillosos para bucear , navegamos a vela y lo pasamos súper bien! Merece mucho la pena esta experiencia! Repetiría mil veces!

We had an amazing half day boat trip with Luis. The boat had plenty of room and was super comfortable with seating and bean bags to relax. There was so much to see along the coast and we had plenty of time and opportunities to hop off and have a swim. Good snacks and plenty of drinks. An all round great trip and would definitely recommend. Thanks Luis!

Nous n'avons rien à redire quant à la croisière et le repas, qui furent très bien. Nous sommes malheureusement extrêmement déçus de la non honnêté et du vol dont nous avons été victimes. Nous avions retirés juste avant la croisière, de l'argent en liquide car Luis nous avait indiqué que son terminal bancaire ne fonctionnait pas. Nous avions déjà versé 150 euros en PayPal. Luis nous a arrêté à un point afin que nous fassions du snorkeling. Nous avons donc laissé nos affaires durant une heure. Nous n'étions pas inquiéts car nous avions confiance. À la fin de la croisière, au moment de payer, l'argent n'était plus dans notre sac. C'était nos 2 ans de mariage, nous avions économisé pour pouvoir faire de cette journée un joli souvenir et nous en repartons avec un goût très amère. À la suite de la demande de remboursement, nous n'avons plus eu de nouvelles. Le seul conseil que nous pouvons vous donner est de ne pas continuer à enrichir ce voleur.

Si tienes la suerte de conocer a Luis, sabrás que es más que un capitán: es un auténtico maestro del mar. Hoy nos ha llevado a bordo del Jubilado (su velero, no su estado laboral 😂) y ha sido un día para el recuerdo. Nos recogió en zodiac como si fuéramos una tripulación VIP, y desde ahí empezó la aventura. Sacamos velas, exploramos calas escondidas que solo él conoce (porque se sabe Pollença mejor que su casa), y buceamos en aguas cristalinas que parecen sacadas de una postal. Luis tiene ese don de hacerte sentir como en casa, incluso en medio del Mediterráneo. Tranquilo, divertido, siempre pendiente de que lo pases bien. Navegar con él no es solo ir en barco: es vivir el mar de verdad, con alguien que lo lleva en la sangre. Gracias, capitán, por un día de diez. Volveremos seguro… ¡y que no se jubile el Jubilado nunca! ⚓🌊❤️

Super belle experience!!! On repetira sans aucun doute.!!!!!

Hemos hecho una experiencia de charter con Luis, ha sido una magnífica experiencia. Nos ha llevado por las calas escondidas de Mallorca. Muchas de ellas solo accesibles por mar. El barco es una maravilla. Una experiencia inolvidable la cual repetiría más de una vez.

My husband and I had a fantastic sunset sail with Luis. On an early November day, the weather cleared and we reached out to see if there was any chance we could sail. Luis was in a regatta, but agreed to take us on a sunset sail. It was a beautiful evening and Luis let my husband sail the boat. I highly recommend Sailing Experience Pollença. Thanks for accommodating us so graciously Luis!

Esta es la segunda ocasión en la que navegamos con Luis en el Jubilado. El velero es increíble, nos llevó por toda la isla a lugares preciosos. Deseando volver el próximo año.¡GRACIAS LUIS!

Alquilamos el barco “el jubilado” todo el fin de semana y fue una maravilla. Luis, el patrón, nos organizó dos comidas muy buenas y nos llevó a vela por la isla parando en dos calas cada día preciosas. Nos llevó en su zodiac a unas rocas donde pudimos bucear. Los dos días estuvo encantador y preocupándose por nosotros. Ya hemos reservado el mismo fin de semana para el próximo año. Muchas gracias Luis!

My wife and I had an amazing and beautiful four hour tour with Luis! I would highly recommend it!

Die Ausfahrt war wunderschön, wir haben viel Wind erwischt und alle Facetten der Segelerfahrung mitnehmen dürfen unter der noch warmen fast Herbstsonne. Einen Punkt ziehe ich ab, weil es keine (angekündigten) Snacks gab, dafür ein Getränk. Aber noch mehr, weil uns der Austausch mit Luis gefehlt hat - wir hätten gerne mehr erfahren...vom Segeln, oder wo wir überhaupt hinfahren. Beim 2x Ankern ist unser Kapitän immer sofort in seine Kabine verschwunden - und während der Fahrt waren wir vorne, was wunderschön war, aber Austausch unmöglich machte. Somit war es anders als erwartet. Schade, im Vorfeld war alles super nett und offen, auch sehr flexibel in der Terminfindung. Danke dafür!

Paseo hermoso con Luis! navegamos a vela una experiencia única.lo recomendamos!!

A great experience out on the sea, with captain Luige. Amazing views, excellent spots for snorkeling & SUP. The kids loved it. We did the 4hr exp, kinda wish we had done 8hr. Thank you Luige

Nous étions une famille de 5 et avons été les seuls sur le voilier ! Un moment unique et inoubliable. Luis a fait 3 pauses pour qu'on se baigne, offert l'apéritif, fait naviguer au son du vent en ouvrant la voile....Le tout dans une totale discrétion de sa part. Entre un bateau bondé de touristes et un voilier à places limitées...n'hésitez plus, le choix est vite fait, vous ne serez pas déçus. Merci Luis !!!

Nos ha encantado la salida en el barco, ha sido un día genial. Luis nos ha hecho una visita super completa por la bahía de Pollensa y alrededores, hemos estado en varias calas y nos hemos parado a comer en un restaurante que nos ha recomendado. muchas gracias Luis!!!

Merci Luis pour cette magnifique journée en famille depuis Pollença. Nous avons découvert des endroits magiques. Luis est accueillant, discret et très sympathique nous recommandons sans hésiter! Muchas gracias

Una experiencia formidable!!!! Luis es un fantástico guía, con mucha experiencia en el mar y en la isla de Mallorca. Atiende a sus clientes con mucho cariño y profesionalidad. Recomendable 100x100!!!!

Perfect Organisation, great happening

Una jornada inolvidable, hemos salido otras muchas veces a la mar pero Luis es un verdadero capitan que se adelanto en todo momento a las condiciones meteorológicas y nos llevo a sitios increíbles. Recomendado al 1000%. Volveremos

Don’t understand the 5 star ratings. When we arrived, he was smoking while preparing the boat and even after mentioning that one of our party was highly allergic to smoke, he took smoking breaks when we were moored in coves. When we arrived and failed to get a mooring in Formentor, he got into a heated discussion with the harbor master and insulted him, telling him to ‘go back to Argentina’. Yikes. ‘Snacks’ were canned olives and some potato chips… More like a 3 star experience…

Día de navegación inolvidable. No se puede pedir mas, barco maravilloso, entorno único y Luis como patrón .

Entspannter Bootstrip rund um das fantastische Kap Formentor. Luis ist Profi und versucht alle Wünsche seiner Gäste zu erfüllen! Muchas gracias!!

Our two families joined Luis for a half-day sailing experience. Luis sent us a pin drop on google maps, so we knew exactly where to find the yacht. Once we had left the port, we had an easy sail across the bay to our first snorkeling and paddleboarding cove. Then it was another sail across to Formentor beach, with chilled drinks and simple snacks provided on the way. After another swim / paddle, we motored along the coastline back to port. Everyone agreed that it was a great way to end our holiday. Thanks Luis! 🙏

Sehr angenehm und flexibel! Für uns,6 Mädels , war es perfekt

We enjoyed the half day with Louis very much! We were at a beautiful beach with good food and wine and enjoyed the sailing back very much! Muchas gracias!!

We were visiting for our honeymoon and Luis was able to accommodate us for a private half-day on short notice. Excellent service and an amazing day sailing and snorkeling with lunch and drinks provided. Would recommend and will definitely book again when we return.

Muy buena navegación con Luis. Nos llevó a calas preciosas a pesar del viento. Una mañana magnífica

Contratamos una jornada con Luis y su velero y no podríamos estar más satisfechos. Luis conoce la isla palmo a palmo y sabe improvisar según las circunstancias. Su flexibilidad con el plan y su disposición a adaptarse siempre que sea posible y de mutuo acuerdo hacen que la experiencia sea aún más agradable. Recorrimos toda la bahía de Pollença, parando en varias calas impresionantes. Luis tiene un perfil discreto y agradable, lo que hace que te sientas cómodo en todo momento. Recomiendo mucho sus servicios a cualquiera que quiera disfrutar de una navegación excepcional.

My wife and I had an absolutely perfect day sailing with Luis. He was the best captain and an even better host on his boat. Leading up to the trip he was easy to communicate with, flexible and accommodated our schedule very well. I highly recommended booking with Luis for your sailing trip, we had the trip of a lifetime. Thank you, Luis!

Luis took my family out tor the afternoon sailing. We stopped at some nice locations for snacks, snorkelling and swimming. Lovely boat and great chap!

El destinazo en Puerto de Pollensa, una experiencia llena de emociones, Máxima felicidad. Un velero muy cómodo, completo para disfrutar del mar con Luis el capitán, seguridad y tranquilidad!!! Quiero volver ya.

Fantastic day....Luis looked after us well, lunch was delicious, plenty of beers and wine...not a windy day but Luis navigated the poor winds well and we had a couple of hours sailing

This was the most amazing experience. Luís was a great captain and knew all of the best places. Highly recommend!

Spent the most amazing afternoon on this sailboat! We had nearly 5 hours of sail time where we got to swim and snorkel in two different, stunning coves complete with many delicious tapas and refreshments (e.g., wine, beer, water, sodas). It was fantastic for my group of 8! For a private boat with refreshments and the whole afternoon, the price was incredibly reasonable!! Could not recommend this enough. Captain was also so welcoming and made sure we had a top notch experience. The highlight of my stay in Mallorca and one of the most beautiful boat rides I’ve ever experienced!

Amazing experience! Local tapas cooked by the captain, private boat (we had a group of 8), and multiple stops at great scenic locations. Fun to jump off the side of the boat and use the provided snorkel goggles!

We had a great sailing trip with Luis! Beautiful landscapes, nice tapas and drinks and an amazing atmosphere. We would do it again any time!

Nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir profiter d’une balade en famille à bord du voilier de Luis. Skipper avisé, Luis possède une longue expérience et vous fera apprécier chaque instant. N'hésitez pas à vous offrir une sortie en mer avec lui, moment de liberté et souvenirs inoubliables garantis. Merci encore, nous reviendrons avec très grand plaisir! : )

Luis war einfach klasse und hat uns einen wundervollen Abend mit viel Meer, Tapas und Bier bereitet.

Toller Tag ,super Skipper

Unkomplizierter Kontakt mit einem sehr erfahrenen Kapitän, ein wunderschönes Boot und eine super schöne, entspannte Tour. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Nous avons passé une excellente journée en compagnie de Luis sur son voilier. En ce début octobre, nous avons pu accoster dans plusieurs criques du nord de l’île peu fréquentées pour se baigner, faire du paddle et du snorkelling. Une super journée!!

Fantástico día navegando con Luis. Nos llevó a varios sitios preciosos y quedamos todos encantados a bordo del JUBILADO. Muchísimas gracias!!!! Espero repetir pronto!

My family and I spent half a day sailing with Luis and had a great experience. He is super relaxed and took us to swim and paddle board in some beautiful spots and inlets with turquoise water and lots of fish. Beers and wine were provided, weather was perfect, and Luis was very friendly. Would 100% recommend.

A fantastic sailing experience! We booked a day trip as part of our honeymoon and managed to get out on the water on our last day. Luis is a fantastic captain who provided a great lunch/snacks and some brilliant spots for swimming/snorkeling. We got to kick back and enjoy the spectacular views as we sailed along. When we return to Mallorca, this will be at the top of our 'to do' list again.

We had a half day sailing trip to celebrate my birthday, such a special experience - so peaceful out on the water. Luis was great, he took us to some beautiful areas near Formentor Beach and Alcudia Peninsula for swimming & SUP. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Fantastic trip, would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing day on the boat with Luis! So professional - served us wine, water & snacks, and took us to the best swimming locations and sailed along Alcudia, Pollenca & Fermentura! Such a fabulous time with a seasoned captain - highly recommend going out for a tour with Luis! Boat was in fabulous shape and immaculate - he was a gem. 5 stars!!!

Capitan Luis is the man !! We had a great day on the boat for our work team away! Definitely would recommend

A family reunion with my son who now lives and works in Pollenca…he’d been recommended here…. What an outstanding adventure it was…. Setting off in the early morning darkness as the sun slowly rose ahead of us.. The gentleness of the waves meeting the rising brightness and then heat of a new day. The return was fabulous, cruising near to the rock face in glorious sunshine. Full marks to our skipper for this truly wonderful sea trip.

my family from the United States enjoyed this boat ride. thanks Luis

Good sailing trip and great diner on board, everything made by sailor-cook Luis 👍

Siamo stati benissimo con Luis e la sua barca a vela! Bei posti per fare il bagno e un paesaggio stupendo!

Fantástico hemos pasado un día fenomenal con Luis y su barco Muchas gracias

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Ausflug. Kleines, aber feines Dinner an Bord und eine entspannte Zeit zu zweit. Der Skipper war sehr aufmerksam. Und als Abschluss der Sonnenuntergang über den Bergen vom Bug des Schiffes aus - perfekt.

Gran tarde navegando en la bahía de Pollensa Una experiencia genial .Espero repetir.

Me and my friends had an amazing sunset tour with Luis!

We had a great half day experience with Luis in early July. We were a party of 10, of mixed ages and enjoyed being on the boat in Pollensa bay both using the sails and under power. We stopped for a swim in a secluded bay before returning to the Port. All family members had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.!

Buenísima experiencia, Luis encantador , muy recomendado

Increíble experiencia, Luis es súper amable y transmite mucha seguridad. Nos llevo a varias calas diferentes y el barco era muy cómodo.

Todo genial, luis súper simpático y no podríamos haber estado mas a gusto! Un 10! Muy recomendable!!

Súper agradable, lo pasamos fenomenal, volveremos a repetir

Una navegación maravillosa. Vimo delfines y estuvimos en unas calas preciosas

We had a wonderful afternoon trip with Luis, we even managed to have the sails up which was amazing. We were celebrating 3 family birthdays and it was made even more special by my husband having a go at the wheel (he has done it before). We dropped into a quiet cove for great snorkeling and a 2nd stop for paddle boarding. Snacks and drinks were provided, would definitely do again.

Gran experiencia navegando, un día fantástico y con la mejor comida de @storeformentor

Luis took us on a wonderful sail! He prepared wonderful authentic snacks for us. He brought us to the most wonderful coves!

Great day out on a lovely motor sailer. Visited some magical Calas. Fantastic sunset. Louis is a great Captain.

Very enjoyable day , beautiful snorkeling spot!

Plan muy recomendable para navegar a vela y disfrutar de las maravillosas calas del norte de Mallorca

Gran día, lo disfrutamos a tope. Gracias patrón!!!

Pasamos un dia maravilloso en familia en este precioso velero, con un capitan super atento, fue una tarde muy divertida el agua es impresionante, repetiremos sin ninguna duda. Gracias Luis🤩

el barco es precioso

Precioso día para empezar el año

Alquilamos el barco de Luis en el mes de Junio. Una experiencia inolvidable. Enorme profesionalidad del patrón y ambiente inmejorable. Preciosas excursiones. Totalmente recomendable

Estupendos días en Mallorca navegando , magnífico velero y mejor capitán. Gracias Luis por todo. Repetimos sin duda!!!

Vacaciones en Mallorca, barco para navegar por sus maravillosas calas y al mando el mejor capitán posible, una gozada, de experiencia, repetiremos.

Estuvimos un grupo de amigos navegando en agosto y fue una experiéncia magnífica. El barco muy cómodo y amplio. Además el Capitán, Luis, fué un gran anfitrión. Repetiremos lo antes posible.

Un fin de semana fantástico en el mes de Julio, calas increíbles y un trato genial por parte del Capitán Luis. Sin duda repetiremos.

Estuvimos un fin de semana en el barco con Luis, su capitán. Nos enseño toda la isla, estuvimos en las mejores calas y pudimos bañarnos en ellas. Fue una excelente experiencia. Ya hemos reservado con él nuestro próximo viaje. Muchas gracias Luis.
