The Boat ESSOESS

About Us

One boat, one crew, one coast

ESSOESS is a crewed day yacht in Palma de Mallorca. No fleet, no call centre: one boat, one tender, and a crew who know every cove on this coast.

We started because the best days we ever had were spent on the water with people we liked. Everything we do is built around giving you that same day.

Meet your captain

Alfonso Roldán Ibáñez

Captain · Spanish

Alfonso grew up in Santander, a city right on the sea in northern Spain. He began sailing and racing at just eight years old, one of many reasons he is such a passionate sailor today. At eighteen he started working for a sailing school and as a freelance deckhand while completing his Nautical degrees at university, developing strong organizational skills and an ease with people of all ages.

In 2014 he took on his first season as a deckhand aboard a 27-meter sailing yacht. He went on to work across several motor and sailing yachts through their cruising seasons, and raced in the Wally Class during the racing season.

Alfonso is a confident, responsible captain. With him at the helm, you'll create memories that last a lifetime.

What we believe

Small on purpose

One boat means the crew know your names, your plans, and how you take your coffee by the second morning.

The sea sets the pace

We read the wind and move to wherever the water is best that day, rather than running a fixed timetable.

Everything handled

Transfers, lunches, water toys and the route. You step aboard and the day is already arranged.
