Best boat options for families

For families with no boating experience, a private charter or organised boat trip is the most relaxed option. Confident parents often choose a 15 HP self-drive boat for a half-day to Cala Salada.

  • No-license boat (4–6 pax) — parents drive after briefing; kids as passengers
  • Private charter with captain — relax while the skipper navigates
  • Boat trip / excursion — fixed route, often with drinks and music
  • Jet ski (passengers 8+) — guided tour, kids ride as passengers

Family-friendly routes from San Antonio

Morning departures (9–10 am) offer calmer seas — especially important with young children on board.

  • Cala Salada — short crossing, shallow water, ideal for swimming
  • Cala Conta — stunning but busier; go early morning
  • Punta Galera — quiet snorkelling spot
  • Sunset cruise — evening boat trip, no driving required

Safety & practical tips

All Hang Loose rentals include life jackets for every passenger. Bring sun cream, hats, snacks and plenty of water. Minimum age to drive a no-license boat is 18; children travel as passengers.
