The number on a Mallorca tour page is rarely the number you spend. A jet ski comes with fuel; a rental boat does not. A catamaran seat feeds you; a speedboat seat does not. And not one of these operators puts the transfer to the harbour in the price. Here is what sits outside each price, by format.
- Boat hire: fuel, marina and entry fees, food, transfers
- Crewed trips: transfers, premium drinks, gratuities — food only on one of the two
- Lessons and sessions: photos, seasonal wetsuit, certification cards
- Jet skis: fuel, life jacket and insurance are in the price
- Transfers to the harbour: extra with every one of these operators
Three price units are in play — per boat, per person and per craft or session — and each carries a different set of extras. The order below follows the unit, not the sport.
Boat hire: the price is the boat, not the day
Both rental fleets price per boat for a full 8-hour day and include the boat, the safety gear, the pre-departure briefing and a skipper on skippered options. Four things stay outside that price with both: fuel, marina and entry fees, food and drinks, and transfers.
On Charter, Palma
On Charter asks €320 per boat for the day, up to 10 guests — €32 each in a full group, before fuel. Licence-free boats sit in the same fleet as larger ones that need a licence or a skipper, and which boat is licence-free on your date is confirmed by the operator.
Mallorca 4 Boat
Mallorca 4 Boat asks €260 per boat for the same 8 hours, up to 8 guests — €32.50 each in a full group, again before fuel. The same four extras apply, the fleet works in Spanish and English, and the marina is confirmed at booking rather than fixed in advance.
Crewed trips: what the seat buys
With a crew the fuel question disappears — the price is per person and the boat is the operator's problem. What differs between the two trips is the catering: one feeds you, the other hands you water.
Catamaran day cruise
Magic Catamarans charges €55 per person for five hours and includes the crew, a meal on board — lunch or dinner — wine, sangria and snorkel gear. Outside the price: transfers, premium drinks and gratuities. Children's rates apply on daytime sailings.
Speedboat to the calas
The La Cala boat trip charges €49 per person for three hours in a group of up to twelve and includes the boat, the skipper, a guide, snorkel gear and water. Outside the price: transfers, food and drinks, and gratuities — pack lunch if three hours is long for your group.
Lessons and sessions: photos, wetsuits and certificates
Taught formats include the instructor, the gear and the insurance, and price by person or by session. The extras here are small and predictable — pictures of your day, a wetsuit out of high season, and the paperwork if you want a card at the end.
Diving in Pollença
Scuba Mallorca prices the try-dive from €75 per person for three hours and includes the instructor or guide, full scuba equipment, tanks, weights and insurance. Outside the price: photos or video, certification-card fees and transfers. Courses and multi-dive packages are priced separately.
Kitesurf and wing-foil in Alcúdia
Cuatro Vientos Mallorca charges €90 per session of two hours, up to four people, and includes the certified coach, the kite or wing, board and harness, a wetsuit, an impact vest and insurance. Outside the price: photos or video, the IKO certification card and transfers.
Jet ski: the one price with fuel in it
Both guided jet-ski tours include the instructor, the craft and its fuel, a life jacket, insurance and the licence-free briefing — €90 per jet ski for 60 minutes from Puerto Portals, €85 for 90 minutes from Alcúdia, up to two riders each. Outside the price: photos, a seasonal wetsuit and transfers.
Per boat, per person or per craft?
The unit decides who the format is for. €320 per boat is expensive for two people and cheap for ten; €55 per person is the same number whether you are two or ten. A jet ski is priced per craft for up to two riders, so a group of four needs two of them.
Important
with a rental boat the fuel is the item that moves most, because it depends on how far you go and how hard you push — the operator quotes it against your route, and we confirm that with them when you book. Marina and entry fees are billed the same way.
