Ahoy, Adventure Family!

Sunshine & Smiles

Mallorca in summer is like nature’s happy pill - warm (28-32°C / 82-90°F), sunny, and perfect for making little faces light up. Pack hats, reef-safe sunscreen (apply early, reapply often!), and a sense of adventure.

Pro Tip: Mornings = calm seas = best time for tiny sailors. Afternoons = breezy fun = best time for older kids to "help" with the sails (or just jump off the boat repeatedly at anchor).

Snorkelling: Underwater Safari!

Turn your kids into marine explorers without the hassle of a wetsuit—the Med is warm and welcoming!

• Best Spots for Mini Divers:

Snorkelling & Fish Feeding Frenzy!

Turn your kids into underwater explorers with one of the coolest activities ever—feeding the fish!

• Best Spots for Marine Magic:
  
  • Cala Llombards – Crystal-clear shallows, packed with colorful fish.
  • Cala Figuera – A natural aquarium with curious sea life.
  • Cabo Blanco – Slightly deeper but teeming with underwater wonders.
• How to Feed Fish Like a Pro:
  
  • Bring small bits of bread or frozen peas (fish love them!).
  • Toss a little in the water and watch dozens of fish swarm—guaranteed squeals of delight!
  • Use a snorkel mask to see the action up close—it’s like swimming in a real-life Disney movie.
• Gear & Tricks:
  
  • Bring your snorkels, masks and fins -for sure they are going to be used.
  • Bring underwater disposable cameras—let them play "marine photographer."
  • "Feed the fishes: Frozen peas or small bits of bread just watch out for the gulls!

Sailing Made Fun (Even for Fidgety Crew)

No one expects kids to sit still on a boat (not even the captain). Keep them engaged with:

• "Junior Sailor" Duties: Ask your captain and if the conditions are safe and calm they may be allowed to helm (steer) help with the sail ropes or just spot dolphins. It’s always weather and crowd dependent of course but we will always try to make the sail as interesting, but safe, as possible.
• Deck Picnics: Pack finger-friendly snacks (fruit, sandwiches, churros) to avoid hangry mutinies.
• Splash Breaks: Anchor in calm bays for unlimited swimming, paddleboarding, or just floating on noodles like lazy sea otters.

Sunset Sail: Magic Hour for All Ages

Evening sails are pure family gold—no crowds, golden light, and the sea turning into liquid glitter.

• Kid-Friendly Sunset Rituals:
  
  • "Cloud Stories" – Lie back and make up tales about the shapes in the sky.
  • Glow Sticks & Sparklers (if allowed) – Turn the deck into a mini party.
  • Dolphin Watch – Sunset is prime time for spotting them!

Food = Happy Crew

Nothing ruins a voyage faster than hangry kids (or parents!). Keep it simple:

• Pre-packed snacks (think: fruit, crackers, cheese, olives).
• Beachside Lunch Stop: Many boats can arrange a paella picnic or sandwiches.
• Ice Cream Bribe: Promise a stop at Sa Gelateria (Palma’s best gelato) post-sail.

Safety & Comfort Tips

• Life Jackets = Non-Negotiable (even for strong swimmers).
• Shade Matters – A bimini top or sun umbrella is a must for naps and breaks.
• Motion Sickness Fixes: Ginger candies, wristbands, or just sticking to calm coves.

Final Verdict: Why Kids (and Parents) Will Love It

No screens needed – The sea is the ultimate entertainment.
Tired kids = early bedtime (parent win!).
Bragging rights – "We sailed the Med!" beats another day at the hotel pool.

So slap on that sunscreen, grab the snorkels, and get ready for a day of salty giggles and sunshine cuddles. The only hard part? Getting them off the boat at the end of the day!

Happy Sailing, Sea Squad!
