Mallorca water bus starts in Palma with €9 fares
Mallorca has a new water bus in Palma: it carries passengers and cruise visitors from the port towards the city centre, with single fares starting at €9. The service began on 1 November. The Balearic Islands Port Authority says it aims to ease road traffic along the Paseo Marítimo.
For now, Palma Cruises runs the boats under a temporary arrangement. TUI gave up the concession, and the port authority is preparing a public tender for the long-term service.
Fares and passes
A single trip to Ponent quay costs €9, or €16 return. Fares to maritime terminal number 6 on the West Breakwater are €10 single and €18 return. Babies up to three years old travel free.
Regular passengers can buy a Bono 100 for €50. It lasts a year and brings the cost per trip down to €0.50. The Bono 20 costs €20 and is valid for six months.
Another route from January
From 15 January 2027, a regular inner-city line is planned between Ponent quay, the Llotja and the Local Traffic terminal, also known as the Golondrinas terminal. A later connection to Portitxol is planned. In high season, weekend services on the line are due to run until midnight.
