We were lucky enough recently, to spend a day with a group of friends on board the good ship Bonnie Lass . Bonnie Lass is based in Port Soller, Mallorca. She is a rare and beautiful classic from 1949 and provides a unique and versatile platform for your perfect charter.
The boat, a converted herring boat, is owned and run by Pete Lucas and his lovely wife Roo , often assisted by their two wonderful children Jago and Chloe, not forgetting their amazing dog Maggie, who goes paddle boarding at the drop of a hat !
Bonnie Lass offers all sorts of experiences for individuals, couples, groups of friends, team building days for corporate groups of up to 10 guests, plus sunset cruises, overnight stays on board in a secluded bay, with all your needs catered for. Look out for Dolphins en route, they are frequent visitors to the North West Coast ! Their standards of service, friendliness and efficiency are first class, and always done with a smile on their face. Hospitality at its best, with generous servings of snacks and nibbles with drinks flowing all day !
On our day out, we suffered a gearbox hydraulic hose split, just a few minutes after leaving harbour. This was repaired, with no loss of fun on the water time, a minimum of fuss and no little skill. The fact that he had a spare on board speaks volumes for the level of thought and preparation which Pete goes to ensure great customer satisfaction. TripAdvisor reviews confirm my opinion , with not one negative review in sight.
The boat itself is bristling with character, and the restoration work and conversion form a serious North Sea working herring fishing boat to a super comfortable charter vessel is testament to their work and devotion in making this a unique experience here in Mallorca.
In addition to the regular charter work, Bonnie Lass is regularly involved in Marine Conservation work, including organising beach clean ups and assisting Asociacion Ondine in their Stingray surveys. You may have also seen her in various TV adverts, where she provides the perfect platform for filmmakers who want some nautical flavour included in their work.
I can thoroughly recommend a day on board, where they can show you secret hidden underwater caves, lagoons you didn’t know existed, perfect secluded anchorages and options of lunch ashore at restaurants with arguably the best locations in the whole of the Mediterranean. Our favourite is Sa Foradada, where the location is breath taking and the paella is one of the best I have ever tasted !
