Can children come on the boat?
Yes, and they usually love it. Under 2s sail free and we carry child-size

life jackets in every size. Buggies stay ashore.
What if I get seasick?
The Bay of Palma is sheltered and morning trips are the flattest of the

you’re prone to it, sit at the back and look at the coast rather than the deck.

English, Spanish and German. Sa Calma is Mallorcan for «the calm», so
you’ll hear a bit of Catalan on board too.
