Water sports and diving centers in Palma
Palma's broad bay has long served as a stage for everything water-related: sailboats cross in front of the cathedral, jet skis set off along the Passeig Marítim, and wetsuits disappear beneath the surface off the coast between Club de Mar and Portitxol. In the island's capital, weekend skippers, first-timers and seasoned divers all cross paths, since harbours, sailing schools and dive centres sit closer together here than almost anywhere else on Mallorca.
A total of 36 listings in this category can be found in Palma, and the range reflects that. Those who prefer to take the wheel themselves can turn to jet ski operators such as Mallorca On Jet Ski, while anyone wanting to learn sailing from scratch might look into schools like Palma Sea School or Escuela Náutica NAVEGA Palma. For those drawn beneath the waves, dive centres such as IKIGAI SCUBA MALLORCA offer everything from reefs just off the city to trips down the south coast. Locations spread across the old fishing harbour of Portitxol, the more upscale Real Club Náutico, and the quieter bays toward Can Pastilla.
The water sports season in Palma runs mainly from April to October, when water temperature and wind conditions are reliable enough for most activities. Courses and tours are usually best booked a little in advance, especially during the summer months. Most operators sit close to the sea and can be reached from the city centre on foot, by bike, or within a few minutes by car, making Palma a straightforward base for a day on or under the water.
