A speedboat off Mallorca is already a win. This 2-hour ride from Port d’Alcúdia mixes adrenaline with easy swimming, plus those coast views you can’t get from shore. You’ll cruise past Alcúdia’s port scene, then swing out to quieter spots like S’Aucanada and Coll Baix.

Two things I really like: the small group size (up to 12) keeps the vibe from turning into a cramped circus, and the stop at Cala en Gossalba includes snorkel and drinks so you’re not scrambling for plans. Add music and a skipper who clearly puts safety first, and it feels like a day-out that respects your time.

One possible drawback: the trip is more about motion than narration. If you want lots of stop-by-stop explanations of what you’re seeing, you may have to rely on your own curiosity while you snap photos and move on.

Key highlights worth showing up for

• Up to 12 people on board, so you feel like part of the trip, not a seat filler
• One real swimming stop at Cala en Gossalba, with snorkel and free drinks included
• Coll Baix and a secret cave stop, short on time but fun for quick viewing and photos
• Adrenaline-friendly speedboat ride with music, and enough freedom that people often stand for the ride
• Best-value feel compared with longer, pricier boat tours, given the mix of speed + swim

Alcúdia Speedboat: Why This Coast Feels Built for Fast Water

Alcúdia’s shoreline works especially well for a speedboat because the views keep changing. You’re not just going from Point A to Point B and calling it a day. Even in a short 2-hour window, you get the mix: port energy, then open-coast angles, then a sheltered swimming cove.

What makes this outing feel good for most people is the pacing. You get the thrill first, then a focused water break. And because there’s only one swimming stop, you’re not constantly doing the stop-and-restart dance.

Port Turístic i Esportiu Alcudiamar: Easy Start, No Drama

Your meeting point is Port Turístic i Esportiu Alcudiamar on the Passeig Marítim in Alcúdia, in zona A, local 1. The tour ends back at the same place, so you don’t need to worry about transportation on the way home.

One practical plus: it’s listed as near public transportation, which matters in Mallorca because parking can be its own mini adventure. Bring whatever you need for the beach, but do keep your timing tight. These speedboat tours run on the schedule of the sea, not your personal itinerary.

The Slow Pass by Aucadana Beach: A Calm Warm-Up Before the Speed

Right out of the start, you’ll do a slow pass by Aucadana Beach. That stretch is your “settle in” moment. It’s the part where you feel the boat’s motion, get your sea legs (even if you already think you don’t need them), and look around before the pace picks up.

Even if you’re mostly there for the adrenaline, I think this short calmer segment helps. It keeps the trip from feeling like you get thrown into full-throttle right away, especially if you’re traveling with friends who aren’t into boats all the time.

Alcúdia Port, Yachts, and S’Aucanada: You’ll See the Contrast Fast

After the warm-up, the route includes Alcúdia port and its yachts, then heads toward S’Aucanada. This is where you get that quick visual contrast: busy marina vibe from the harbor side, then more scenic coastal views once you’re moving along the open water.

This part of the trip also sets expectations for the overall feel. You’re going to keep moving. You’ll stop briefly, but you’re mainly there for the ride and the view angles you can only get offshore.

Platja des Coll Baix: Short Stop, Cave Curiosity, Photo Time

Coll Baix is the kind of place that makes you understand why speedboats exist. You get the pull of a dramatic coastline without having to hike to it. The stop here is brief—about 2 minutes—with a glimpse of the famous Coll Baix Beach and the chance to look into a secret cave.

Here’s the practical reality: a 2-minute window is not for long swims or extended wandering. It’s for fast photos, quick viewing, and then back to the boat.

If you’re the type who loves “quick hit” viewpoints, this stop works well. If you want deep time exploring, you’ll likely wish you had more minutes on the shore or a chance to hear a guided story of what you’re looking at.

Cala en Gossalba: The Real Payoff for Swimming and Snorkel

This is the centerpiece stop. You’ll get a bathing break at Cala en Gossalba, with drinks and snorkel included, and you’ll have about 35 minutes in the water.

Why this matters: snorkel gear and drinks being included removes the two biggest frictions that often ruin beach plans. You don’t have to figure out where to buy something last-minute or guess whether the stop time will be long enough to make it worthwhile.

Also, Cala en Gossalba is described as an all-natural cove. That’s a key distinction for snorkel time. Even if the cove isn’t huge, the sheltered feel usually makes it easier to enjoy the water without fighting the bigger open-water conditions. You’ll still want to be mindful of waves and where you enter, but the setup is designed for a casual swim-and-snorkel break.

How to make your snorkel stop feel longer

Since your time is limited, do this:

• Put your snorkel on quickly and get in early in the stop.
• Choose one area to focus on instead of swimming all over.
• If you’re not a confident swimmer, keep it simple: float, breathe, look around.

Music, Small Boats, and the Adrenaline Rush Factor

This tour is built around speed and vibes. Reviews highlight the adrenaline rush, the music playing during the ride, and the feeling that it’s more fun when there aren’t too many people aboard.

Two details stand out as value-makers for you:

1. Maximum of 12 travelers: that’s a meaningful cap. A smaller boat tends to mean quicker boarding, less waiting, and a more personal atmosphere.
2. People often enjoy that they can stand during the ride. That’s not guaranteed for every moment, but the overall style is energetic.

Safety is also explicitly called out as a priority. When you’re choosing an adrenaline activity, that matters. Fast doesn’t have to mean reckless.

Price Check: Is $67.99 a Good Deal for What You Get?

For $67.99 per person (2 hours), I’d frame the value like this: you’re paying for a combo you can’t easily recreate on your own without planning.

You’re getting:

• A fast boat experience with views along Alcúdia’s coast
• A short viewpoint stop at Coll Baix (including the cave look)
• A structured swimming stop at Cala en Gossalba
• Snorkel and free drinks included

Where the price makes sense is the time-efficiency. Two hours is short enough for easy scheduling, yet long enough that you don’t feel like you paid for a quick taxi ride. The fact that there’s a single real water stop keeps the whole experience from turning into constant transitions.

If you’re thinking about other boat tours, use this as your yardstick: you want speed plus a meaningful swim stop, not just “pass by scenic spots” with no time in the water.

Weather Matters: The Sea Runs the Schedule

This experience requires good weather. If conditions aren’t right, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That’s not a tiny detail. Speedboats depend on wind, waves, and general conditions, and it’s smart to plan with some flexibility.

If you’re traveling in a period where storms are common, don’t lock your whole day too tightly. The tour is only about 2 hours, but it’s still a key chunk of your coastal plans.

Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Might Want Something Else)

This is a great pick if you want:

• A fun speedboat ride without spending half a day
• One proper swimming/snorkel break
• A small-group atmosphere
• Music and energy, not a lecture

It may be less ideal if you:

• Prefer calm, quiet touring with lots of explanations
• Want long stops for walking and exploring on land
• Are traveling with kids or elderly passengers who might feel uncomfortable with a fast, adrenaline-style ride

That doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It just means it’s not designed as a slow, shore-based experience.

Smart Packing Tips for a 2-Hour Sea Break

Because the core of your enjoyment is speed plus a swim, pack like you’re going to get wet and move quickly.

I’d bring:

• Swimwear you can tolerate getting salty or damp
• A towel if you don’t want to rely on what’s available nearby
• Sunscreen (water-resistant is best if you have it)
• A bag you can secure so your phone doesn’t become a sea experiment

Also, wear footwear you’re comfortable in around a marina. Boats can be slick in the boarding area.

Booking and Planning Without Stress

You’ll get a confirmation at booking time, and you’ll use a mobile ticket. Since this tour caps at 12 people, booking in advance is a smart idea, especially in summer. It’s listed as commonly booked about 23 days ahead on average.

One more planning note: if you cancel, it’s free up to 24 hours before the experience start time. If you’re deciding last minute based on weather, this gives you a safety net.

Should You Book This Alcúdia Speedboat?

If you want a short, high-fun boat day with a real swim stop, I think this one is worth your money. The best reason is the mix: speedboat excitement plus snorkel time at Cala en Gossalba, and you’re back at the marina without dealing with complicated logistics.

Book it if:

• You’re comfortable with boats and want an active outing
• You’re happy with quick scenic stops and one focused swim window
• You like a lively onboard vibe with music

Skip it if:

• You want heavy narration and long shore exploring
• You’re traveling with someone who really struggles with fast rides

If you fit the first group, you’ll likely leave feeling like you used your Mallorca time well: a fast ride, a worthwhile water break, and enough coastal variety to make the 2 hours feel like more than just a shortcut.
