Boat Trips from Soller

Port de Soller is the departure point for boats along the north coast of the Serra de Tramuntana, a cliff coastline with almost no roads. The long-established company is Barcos Azules (barcoscalobra.com), a family business that has taken visitors out of the port for decades. According to its official website, these are the departures from Port de Soller:

• Sa Calobra and Torrent de Pareis: about 60 minutes each way. Daily departures.
• Cala Tuent: about 40 minutes each way. Daily departures.
• Sa Foradada: about 30 minutes each way. Daily departures by arrangement.
• Cala Deià: about 20 minutes each way. Daily departures by arrangement.
• Water-slide boat (Sa Calobra and Cala Tuent): a route with a 35-minute stop for swimming and sliding from the boat. The boat does not land.
• Private services: charters with or without skipper, boat hire, an electric llaüt, a catamaran, events and a taxi boat.

Platforms such as Civitatis and CheckYeti also resell the Sa Calobra ticket.

This is the most popular trip. The crossing takes roughly one hour along a coast of rock walls dropping into the sea. Sa Calobra has a small beach and a second cove at the mouth of the Torrent de Pareis, one of the best-known landscapes in Mallorca.

• What to do there: walk through the tunnels cut into the rock to the torrent's beach, swim, and eat at the restaurants in the port.
• Time ashore: it depends on the return departure you choose. Some reviews say the time at Sa Calobra feels short, so check the return times when booking.
• No car needed: the alternative is the Ma-2141 road, famous for its hairpin bends, with limited parking.

Cala Tuent is about 40 minutes by boat and is quieter than Sa Calobra. According to the official website, there is a restaurant up the slope, reached by a short path, and no sunbeds, umbrellas or services at the water's edge.

Details of the cove (size, seabed, currents and safety) are in the beaches guide.

To the south, boats reach two shorter stops:

• Sa Foradada (about 30 min): according to Barcos Azules, there is a restaurant serving paella and Mallorcan food, reservation required. The landing has no services.
• Cala Deià (about 20 min): two restaurants by the sea. The landing has no services.

These departures are "by arrangement": check with the company that a boat will run on the day you want.

The official website does not publish prices, so none are shown in the table. See the next section.

The Barcos Azules website (checked on 1 November 2026) does not publish specific prices or times and refers you to its booking system. It does state that booking online gives a 10% discount on Sa Calobra, Cala Tuent, Sa Foradada and Cala Deià.

On renting without a licence: for years, boats up to 5 metres and 15 hp could be handled in Spain without a licence, in daylight and close to shore. News reports from 2026 say the rules for rentals are being tightened, but sources disagree on the details, so we cannot confirm the current position. Before booking, ask the rental company or the maritime authority whether you need a licence for that specific boat.

For something calmer, the bay is ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding; see things to do in Soller.

• Seasickness: the crossing lasts from 20 minutes to an hour. If you are prone to it, sit in the middle and low in the boat, watch the horizon, and ask a pharmacist about a travel-sickness remedy to take before departure. Avoid a heavy meal beforehand.
• Sea state: in northerly winds the Tramuntana coast can be rough. Check the weather in Soller.
• Cancellations: the company's booking conditions are not shown openly on its website. Ask what happens if a departure is cancelled for bad weather before paying. On the Civitatis resale, cancellation is free up to 48 hours before.

• Children: the water-slide boat is built around swimming from the boat. Ask about minimum ages and children's prices when booking; the official website does not publish them.
• Dogs: Civitatis states that pets are not allowed on the Sa Calobra boat. Confirm with the company.
• Accessibility: Civitatis states the activity is not wheelchair accessible. Check with the company if you need help boarding.
