    Sailing with history. Ideal for sailing through the wonderful Mallorca with a little more flow and authenticity than the boats full of tourists. Old wooden sailboat. The crew is very friendly and professional.

    Really great experience in the boat, with a smiling team on board. We are very well welcomed, are able to drink and have a nice lunch with vegetables and meat. Not too many people on board, which is nice! We stayed in a Cala so I wished we’d have done more on the coast, but I still clearly recommend this trip. Thank you!

    This is just about one of the best holiday experience we ever had. We sailed out to a bay, anchoring, snorkeling, swimming and canoeing. The food on board was excellent and the the crew was just incredible, very helpful and relaxed. Very highly recommended!

    Sailed on board with my wife (who was 5 months pregnant). From the start of our inquiry with Nuria, she was incredibly helpful and friendly. Even inviting us on the boat for a look around. That sold the deal for us and we signed up and paid to sail the following Sunday. Nuria and her staff were incredibly helpful, approachable and friendly. The boat itself is amazing and in beautiful condition (I've always wanted to sail on a sail boat). We helped with the rigging and sailed over an hour to a beautiful shallow bay and we had a lot of fun. We jumped from the ship (you can jump from high up if you have the nerves) and snorkeled and kayaked. All these are provided by the team. We had 10 people sailing with us which was a great size of group. When you see a packed "party" catamaran sail past you know you made the right choice. Food was provided there and back. The food was of the highest quality. It isn't a three course meal though. More just light snacks so bear that in mind. However knowing the level of customer care we received I'm sure they would make you more food if you were hungry. Also a fridge stocked full of beers wines and soft drinks. If you want to experience a sail boat with a top crew and experience I would highly recommend Nuria and her team.

    An incredible boat for day trips, with family, friends, colleagues, whatever. Great experience on one of the most historic ships in all of Spain.

  • 5/5 Marcial G. 1 year ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Thanks to the owner to make this experience possible. We had a amazing 6 hours trip starting in palma to a beautiful bay. We enjoyed diving, standup paddling, jumping from the boat and taking a lot of remembering pictures. Additional to that we had amazing lunch and drinks. Not that this was enough we experienced a traditional sailing tour with the rafael verdera and good talks with the crew and owner. The trip was very familial and we are highly recommending doing this trip. Thanks to everyone who made this trip so remeberable.

    Quite nice sailing trip with a bit of snorkeling and having fun in a small bay. Perfect service. Boat in perfect condition. We're going to book it again 😁

  • 5/5 Floriska Z. 8 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    Then board the Rafael Verdera! This is no ordinary sailing boat, this sailing boat is the oldest, most beautiful and nicest sailing boat we have sailed with! The Rafael Verdera is treated and maintained with love by the family and you also feel this on board. Everything they do, they do from their loving hearts! The captain and crew ensure an unforgettable excursion! They sail and sail to beautiful places where there is time to swim, snorkel and rock on the boat and enjoy the beautiful places around you. They also provide delicious food on board that they prepare for you! And when it's time to sail, you can help hoist the sails! You can also rent the boat for a wedding (ours was a great success!), a company party and more! You can also do other sailing excursions on the Rafael Verdera.

    The experience exceeded my expectations from the first moment, the boat is impeccable, so well maintained that you don't expect it so, then the explanation of the history of the boat (the oldest in Spain) but I repeat, it is not noticeable since everything is smooth clean and well maintained, it is a pleasure to walk on the surface of the wood. I have been lucky enough to be on luxury yachts and catamarans and this is something that cannot be compared, since the energy that it transmits is practically entirely made of wood, that is another level, it is a way of connecting with nature through it. (since it does not have plastic and metal like other boats mentioned above), the place chosen to anchor was ideal and the staff is very relaxed, very pleasant, they make you feel comfortable and free with great calm, then they prepare a very high-level barbecue. varied with vegetables and tapas, together with the drinks that they choose in good taste, everything is a luxury. I recommend it 100x100 a different experience, unique contact with nature, I hope to live it again soon.

    We had a superb pre-wedding outing on the Rafael Verdera, and Nuria and her team were excellent. This is a very special boat sailed by people with genuine passion, who share their dream. Wonderful memories were made.

    Unbeatable treatment from the crew, all of them very young and charming. The spectacular boat and a 10/10 experience.

  • 5/5 Bernadette B. 7 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    We chartered this boat for the London office for a team building trip of 38 people. The day on the Rafael Verdera was a truly unique magical experience for everyone. The photos can't even convey how beautiful it is to be onboard feeling the extraordinary history of the boat. Nothing was too much trouble for Captain Inaki, Nuria, Berta and the team. Go for the high end lunch barbecue if eating onboard - the fish was top quality and better cooked than a lot of expensive restaurants. The open bar kept us all hydrated and being able to jump off from the side of the boat and use the kayaks and paddle boards was fabulous. Inaki knows the coast well so will bring you to the best places. Nothing can prepare you for how good this experience is - you just have to book and go. Thanks Rafael Verdera!

    A fabulous sunset trip on a very old restored sail ship. It was so relaxing with a lovely friendly crew and the even let us hoist the sail.

  • 5/5 Aurelia 4 years ago on Google
    This was a spectacular trip for everyone! The Rafael Verdera itself (and its history!) is very impressing, and Nuria and her Crew were incredibly nice and professional! The tapas-collection offered by the team was awesome, just as everything else! Just perfect! We had a great and unforgettable day, cruising, swimming and just enjoying, and we are looking forward to a next time! Thank you, thank you, thank you Nuria, for this outstanding experience!

  • 5/5 Cristian M. 3 years ago on Google
    Like treating yourself to a great day. A trip on a real sailing ship from 1841, perfectly restored. Real wood and ropes, a sensation impossible to live with on board catamarans and boats with transparent bottoms. Nuria always smiles, she welcomes you as a friend even if it is the first time she sees you. On board, only aficionados passengers. A good sign. In fact, at the end of the trip, I too will have decided to return. The barbecue is genuine and quality, like the wine, very fresh. The sun does not lack, the water is turquoise, it is not difficult to bond with other travelers, there is room to lie down and rest. I gave myself a nice day.

    I really enjoyed the time on board. As an experienced sailor it was really nice to have the opportunity to sail a traditional ship. The crew was kind and allowed us to participate on board. I highly recommend a trip on board!

    Very good experience with a very friendly, smiling and attentive crew throughout the crossing. I highly recommend this cruise away from the tourist traps, it was great. Thanks to the team.

  • 5/5 maria m. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Brilliant!! The boat, the crew, the experience, the food. All!! A quiet excursion, not at all crowded and very charming. Nothing to do with the excursions proposed by the typical agencies. Ideal for families, although not only, the majority were groups of friends or young couples. The children really enjoyed raising the sails and the canoe ride to the cove where we anchored. We are not very fond of the sun and it was something that scared us a little, we had all the shade we wanted and the children played on the bridge super safe and very comfortable. We would repeat and recommend!!

👍 You get two drinks for free, all you can eat buffet. I'd guess the average age was around 25 - 30. It was a lot of fun jumping off the ship into the water.
