Mallorca Yacht Charter

Mallorca Yacht Charter truly offers the best of both worlds: It is a haven for partygoers with a vibrant, Ibiza-like nightlife centered in Palma and upscale marinas like Puerto Portals and Port Adriano. Yet, it also provides tranquil retreats with secluded coves and quiet beaches along the northern coast—places like Coll Baix and Cala Tuent are ideal for those seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle.

Arriving is straightforward with flights into Palma de Mallorca Airport, conveniently located close to the city’s major marinas, where most charters begin.

Popular yacht types include luxury motor yachts and spacious catamarans, catering to different preferences for speed, stability, and budgets -with crewed yacht charters starting at around €15,000 per week.

Charter durations typically range from a couple of days to a week, allowing enough time to explore the island’s diverse offerings.

Types of Crewed Yacht Charters in Mallorca

Mallorca is both big on crewed catamarans and motor yachts, and each yacht charter type has its advantages and disadvantages. Starting with Mallorca itself, it is about a 160 nautical mile circumnavigation around it; it is weather dependent, especially in the north where occasional strong winds blow from southern France; and it is extremely beautiful, especially seen from the water, your yacht is your ticket to some of the best coastal views in the Mediterranean.

Catamaran Charters in Mallorca

A Mallorca catamaran charter is a great option for groups of 6-10 people wanting to explore the coast in a relaxed way. If you plan to do a one-week catamaran charter, do not expect to go the entire way around Mallorca, it is simply too far, and the weather might get in your way. Instead, focus on a part of the coast –the most popular and easy to get to is the southern part of Mallorca around Palma, especially heading east to all the beautiful calas (bays) and the Cabrera national park, an uninhabited island to the south.

Motor Yacht Charters in Mallorca

With a Mallorca motor yacht, you can be a lot more ambitious. With the advantage of being fast and less dependent on the wind, you have the freedom to go much further. This opens up the option to cruise up the wilder west coast, which is further between anchorages and therefore tough for catamarans, and reach the north, which is known for having the most dramatic coastline in Mallorca. You will also get more exclusive beaches and beach resorts here. Motor yachts are more expensive than catamarans, especially when you factor in the higher fuel consumption, however, the luxury and freedom of movement is unmatched. Expect extravagant cabins, sundecks with jacuzzi and bar, and big selections of water toys.

Sailing Yacht Charters in Mallorca

In all honesty, we rarely have clients inquiring about sailing monohulls, they are simply not very popular in crewed yacht charters. Why? because sailing catamarans are beating them in space, comfort, and ability to access shallower water. That said, we do occasionally get some real sailing enthusiasts who insist on a real Mallorca sailing charter, and we love when we do. If this is you, we will help you find the best options ticking all the boxes for fun sailing, onboard luxury, and a skilled crew with a passion for wind. Also remember, you can save a lot on using the wind as your fuel!

Spain is famous for olive trees and fresh olive produce. Port de Sóller is a peaceful area known for its massive harvest from ancient olive trees and beautiful views of the Mediterranean.

Separated from the rest of the island by the Tramuntana mountain range, contributing to its secluded charm, it has retained its charm and association with the past.

With a luxury yacht charter in Mallorca, you can enjoy the serene natural beauty as much as you desire.

Alcúdia

Located on the north coast of Mallorca, this island region is popular among partygoers and watersports enthusiasts.

The consistent winds blow across the waters, making it an ideal location for kites and windsurfing. If you are looking for powdery white beaches, this area will not disappoint.

Alcúdia also hosts traditional festivals and evening events all year round-portraying the true culture of Spain. You can glimpse the past while walking on the cobbled streets.

Formentor

Further up the northern coast of Balearic islands and not far from Alcudia, the port of Formentor and the surrounding area is another spot that deserves a spot on the list.

The winds have earned this spot the nickname “meeting point of the winds,” and you’ll see why once you get there.

The cliffs have long been a massive attraction, and with good reason: they’re incredible.

This is a great destination for both beginners and experienced sailors alike.

Port d’Andratx

Just a short boat ride from Palma, the charming Port d’Andratx is one of the most picturesque spots to spend time in Spain.

From Cala Figuera to Punta de la Mala, the beautiful shoreline is broken by the magnificent anchorage of Puerto de Andratx and a host of coves.

There are plenty of nice cliffs to watch the sunset from or practice cliff jumping. The local beaches tend to be densely occupied, so visiting from your yacht is always a better option.

Portocolom & Porto Cristo

These natural harbors are located on the island’s eastern coast and offer a safe and protective spot, slowly but steadily rising in popularity. If you prefer a more laid-back experience than a party and secluded small coves to famous attractions, a journey up (or down) the eastern coast is necessary for your next itinerary. This is an excellent choice for families and offers a deeper insight into the true Mallorcan lifestyle.

Charter yachts will allow you to stop at Cala d’or a short distance from Portocolom, known for its sandy beaches, water sports, crystal clear waters, and bustling nightlife. Cala d’or is closer to Cabrera national park, the largest park in Spain, renowned for its historical monuments and biodiversity.

Puerto Portals

Puerto Portals is one of the most happening marinas in Mallorca. It is known for its expansive shopping market, upscale villas and resorts, nautical companies, and a large 650-berth docking space. If Palma is Mallorca’s prime hub, Puerto Portals is its luxurious cousin.

Thanks to its concentrated area and easy access, it is one of the most expensive ports in Mallorca. The berths are in high demand all year and need to be booked months before arrival. The berths can take large boats up to 60 meters, further making it a favorable stop for superyachts and other large charters.

How do I Book a Mallorca Yacht Charter?

Ideally, you’d inquire about a Mallorca charter 12 months in advance. WHY? The best yachts are often fully booked long in advance and it’s not unusual to see popular dates booked 2 summers ahead for a yacht charter vacation in Mallorca or anywhere else in the Mediterranean for that matter. Inquiring less than 6 months ahead often means that your first choice is unavailable for charter. Additionally, you might find that the yacht you wish to charter, can’t make it to the port where you wish to commence your yacht charter.
