Vita Bel - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

Cruise Review: Vita Bel II classic yacht, Cala D’Or, Mallorca

In Cala D’Or, you may charter the yacht Vita Bel II and explore the cliffs, bays, and winding coastline of Mallorca. Free lunch is offered.

The views of Mallorca’s coves, cliffs, and curved coastline from the sea are equally as stunning as they are from the land, so we made sure to include a boat ride in our itinerary. Thus, we decided to purchase a membership aboard the yacht Vita Bel II at Cala D’Or.

Boarding Vita Bell II at Cala D’Or

We were strolling through the palm-lined marina at Cala d’Or when we caught sight of the iconic teak-decked boat Vita Bell II, complete with its bare masts.

She shone in the bright orange light of the day, which contrasted beautifully with the turquoise waters and brilliant blue sky. The waters were ripe with potential at that very moment.

Shoeless, we hopped on in a jiffy, and a glass of Cava arrived in our hands in no time. There were ten of us in all, some of us complete strangers, and we were all grinning broadly despite having to somewhat squint into the sun.

Nigel Lewis, the captain, welcomed everyone aboard from the main cockpit and gave a brief overview of safety procedures and housekeeping norms. He started the engine, and in a matter of minutes, we were all sipping more of the excellent Mallorcan wine or beer and listening to soothing music. The good times were now officially underway.

Sailing into the forming wavelets, Nigel and his crewmate lifted the sails. The waves were a little bumpy, but that was okay. Some of us lounged on the plush couches surrounding the cockpit, while others sunbathed on padded mats at the bow or stern. Or, to do nothing more than take it easy and take in the scenery, the sun’s rays, the sea air, and the sounds of the gulls flying above.

Also, we enjoyed getting behind the wheel, which is harder than it seems. We returned command to the smug captain because we didn’t want to wind up in Algiers.

We were soon on the stunning Cala Mondrago bay on Mallorca’s southeast coast. We were tucked away in a quiet bay, sheltered by towering cliffs and a forest of pine trees. In the distance, we could also make out the beautiful white beaches of S’Amarrador Beach.

Conversations flowed easily, wine was flowing, and the waves gently rocked, making the rest of the world appear distant.

Some passengers cautiously entered the water when the ship’s hydraulic swim platform was lowered. Some people plunged right in, while a few risk-takers used the available stand-up paddle boards. We wanted to go snorkeling, but we got too busy laying out in the sun and drinking wine.

The hour or two flew by, and we were back in Portopetro Harbor, this time moored for lunch.

A sun canopy provided some shade over the assembled guests as they waited for the prawns, smoked salmon, Spanish tortilla, salad, hams, and cheeses to arrive. There was an abundance of alcoholic beverages.

Nigel questioned, “Are you a recycler?” Obviously, we did. Then, “throw your prawn heads” into the sea. It’s amazing to see the seagulls dive for these tasty morsels before they hit the water. Fish that swam to the top in the crystal-clear water quickly devoured the ones that were left behind. We found it hilarious.

Fruit salad with luscious mango and watermelon was served as we watched the show, and the tables were removed in between acts.

After one more dive and snorkel, the captain kindly got us all back on the boat to go back to port. Five hours had gone by in what seemed like a blink of an eye.

We promised ourselves We’d go on a sunset sail the next time we visit.

From May 1st through October 31st, guests can take a five-hour tour of the island on the Vita Bell II. We have 12 total visitors.

Note: Vita Bell II is available for private tours and shared charters for small groups, with an open bar and food provided.

Cruise Review: Vita Bel II classic yacht, Cala D’Or, Mallorca

Vita bel ii yacht at cala d'or offers a mallorca sailing trip to the coves, cliffs and curvy coastline of mallorca. lunch included..

The beautiful island of Mallorca especially in Cala D’Or is just as lovely from the water as it is on land and I didn’t want to miss out on the waterside views of her coves, cliffs and curvy coastline during my short break. That’s why I bought a place on the charming Vita Bel II yacht that sets sail from Cala D’Or and enjoy a fully skippered Mallorca sailing trip for a few hours.

The Vita Bel Mallorca sailing trip experience

As I walked along the palm-hemmed Cala d’Or marina, I could see Vita Bell II’s undressed masts reaching up from this classic, 16m teak-decked yacht.

She looked dazzling in the orange hues of this very sunny day, framed by the turquoise waters of the Med and the luminous blue of the sky. The moment was full of maritime promise.

Shoes off, it was a quick hop to board her, and within seconds we were handed a glass of Cava. There were 10 of us on board, some of us strangers, all of us smiling with a slight squint into the brightness of the sun.

The skipper, Nigel Lewis, set the scene with a hearty hello from the central cockpit and followed with a quick run down about security and a few words on housekeeping. He then turned on the engine, and within minutes we all had another beer or a glass of Mallorcan wine in hand while soft music filled the air. The fun had started.

Nigel and his crew mate hoisted the sails, and as Vita Bel set forth into the forming wavelets, the waters became a tad choppy, but no matter. Some of us took to the comfy seating around the cockpit, some to the bow, others to the stern to sunbathe on cushioned mats. Or to simply sit back to enjoy the views, the warmth of the sun, the gentle touch of the sea breeze and the distant sounds of passing seagulls overhead.

It was also fun to try my hand at steering, which, as it turns out, looks easier than it is. For fear of ending up in Algiers, I handed control back to the amused skipper.

Soon we reached the gorgeous bay of Cala Mondrago in southeastern Mallorca. We were there alone, anchored in a stretch of calm waters overlooked by rocky cliffs, pine trees and surrounded by silent coves. We could also see the lovely white sands of s’Amarrador beach in the distance.

The chatter of easy conversation, the flow of the wine and the gentle sway of the waters made the whole world seem a far away place.

The ship’s hydraulic swim platform was lowered, and some tentatively made their way into the sea. Some just jumped in and a couple of dare-devils took to the free-to-use stand-up paddle boards, sometimes with hilarious results. I was tempted to snorkel but became distracted by sunbathing and supping wine that I had no time for these frivolities.

An hour or so passed all too quickly, and we headed to Portopetro bay, where we anchored again and this time for lunch.

The table was set, a sun canopy provided some shade, and soon the table was covered in a feast of prawns, smoked salmon, Spanish tortilla, salad, hams and cheeses. The wine and beer flowed.

“Do you believe in recycling?” asked Nigel. Of course we did. “In that case toss your prawn heads into the water”. What a joy to watch the seagulls swoop down to capture these morsels even before they landed on the water. And those that were missed were soon devoured by fish who made it to the surface of the blue clear water in record time. It was comical.

While we enjoyed the spectacle, the tables were cleared and filled again with a platter of fruit salad with juicy mango and watermelon.

A final swim and snorkel and soon the skipper gently organised us back on the boat to sail home. Somehow, five hours had passed, in a mere moment.

Next time I thought, I will try the sunset cruise.
