Boat Trip Palma with Buffet: Eating on Board at Sea (2026)
A boat trip Palma with buffet combines two things you would otherwise plan separately: the afternoon on the water and the meal afterwards. On the afternoon tour from 14:30 to 18:30 the Mediterranean buffet is served right on board, after the swim stop in open sea, on deck, looking out over the bay. This guide explains how a boat tour with food from Palma works, what the price includes, when you eat and what you need to know before booking.

How eating on board works on a boat trip from Palma
The buffet is set up on board and eaten on deck. There is no stop at a restaurant ashore and no packed lunch to collect beforehand. You take what you like and eat wherever you happen to be sitting: on the sun deck, in the shade or by the rail. A DJ plays relaxed beats in the background, so the meal is part of the afternoon rather than an item on a schedule everyone is called to.
The buffet is Mediterranean. Exactly which dishes are on it depends on the day, which is why you will not find a menu here to hold it against later. If you eat vegetarian or vegan or have an allergy, send a short WhatsApp message before booking and ask whether the buffet covers it. That way you know before you pay, not once you are on board.
What the price includes and what you pay at the bar
The €74.90 per person covers the four-hour trip, the swim stop, the Mediterranean buffet and water. On top of that come the sun deck, the DJ and the route past the cathedral and through the bay of Palma. There is no surcharge for the food: the buffet is part of the tour, not an add-on you have to tick during booking.
Every other drink is ordered at the bar on board and paid for there. If you want something other than water with your meal, plan a separate budget for it. That split is why the price is the same for everyone: if you only drink water, you are not paying for other people's drinks.
When is the swim stop, when is the buffet?
The afternoon tour leaves at 14:30 and heads past the cathedral out into the bay. In open sea comes the swim stop: roughly an hour and a half in which you swim, lie in the sun or simply float. That is exactly the stretch that makes you hungry, and the schedule is built around it.
After the swim stop the buffet is served. So you are not swimming on a full stomach; you eat afterwards, relaxed, on deck. The tour ends at 18:30, early enough to keep the evening in Palma free and full enough that you are not immediately hunting for a restaurant. If you think of the boat tour with food as a late lunch, the timing is right.
Booking, cancellation and what to bring
You book online and receive confirmation instantly; the meeting point in Palma is on the ticket. Up to 15 people fit on one booking, so a family or a group of friends needs a single booking and everyone is guaranteed to be on the same departure. You can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before departure.
On board you need swimwear, a towel, sun protection and something to put on for the way back. Water is included; for drinks from the bar, allow a small extra budget. If you are unsure about dietary wishes, clear them via WhatsApp before you book.
